Love this Hilton hotel tucked in terminal 2 of the London airport. On our trip from Arizona to…read moreItaly was had two very lengthy layovers in London that sadly weren't long enough to get out and explore, so we did the next best thing and booked a room (each time) at this hotel and got a workout, shower, and rest in before our next flight. The rooms are great; very spacious, comfortable, and clean. The gym is awesome and offers multiple spin bikes, treadmills, a rowing machine, and free weights which enabled both my husband and I to get a good workout in. They also have a restaurant that we did not have a chance to dine in but it looked popular to even those outside the hotel. This hotel is definitely one to stay at for a long layover or if you want to be close to your next flight. It's comfortable, quiet, friendly, and easy to get to in the airport. I hope we don't have long layovers again, but if we do we will be staying here!

Came back from Bath and was flying out the next morning from Terminal 2 and saw the reviews for…read morethis place. Super convenient as it's in Terminal 2. Easy to find as the signs in the Queen's terminal are large and everywhere (good job sign posting, unlike terminal 5). The rooms are a bit dated and not laid out intuitively. The safe is in the night stand and when open it bumps against the bed. The faucet in the bathroom sink has little clearance from the basin and thus water gets everywhere when washing your hand/face. The shower head sprays water and with a glass wall (vs shower curtain) gets outside the tub and the tile gets wet. These little design wonkiness is what makes it a 4 (vs 5). This place is popular with large groups. The restaurant is solid - fantastic greek salad and the grilled salmon perfect. The runway rooftop bar is also a must do (you can get non alcoholic drinks). So mesmerizing and relaxing to watch the planes. A solid place for a quick fly in/out of LHR

I felt so clever selecting this hotel as the final stop of a UK journey. Of the four different…read morehotels that were stayed at this was by far my favorite. The location couldn't possibly be more convenient. It is literally attached to the airport. Honestly it was a little hard for me to find because after you get off the Elizabeth line there's not really any clear signage for the tunnel that takes you to the hotel. I had to stumble around the airport asking people where it was before I found it. The lobby is huge and really makes a great first impression. My room was spacious and I loved how they catered to international travelers by having four different types of plugs, including a US one, on the desk. This was the only place where I saw that. This hotel really seemed nice and modern, except for the thermostat. It was a horrible analog dial with no numbers on it whatsoever. That was really my only complaint and it was very minor. Just because the hotel is attached to the airport you should really leave for your flight way ahead of time. It takes at least 10 minutes to walk down the tunnel and then you have to get to the Elizabeth line, wait for that to arrive, and then ride quite a while to get to some of the other terminals. When I come back to the UK I will absolutely stay here again.

Very convenient for a quick layover in Heathrow!…read more This Premier Inn in Terminal 4 is a good alternative to staying in the city (like Paddington) if you are only in Heathrow for a short period of time. The hotel is situated near a few other airport hotels. I've stayed here a couple of times and it's been fairly painless: not too expensive, self check-in with minimal human interaction, and clean and quiet rooms. The rooms themselves have the bare necessities, including a water kettle, coffee, tea, TV, and towels. In addition, there's a full bar with various seating downstairs (which gets kind of rowdy), as well as a restaurant. I've eaten at said restaurant a few times, and the food is not bad at all! Their apps and curry dishes were pretty tasty. The only thing is that during peak travel times, service can be unusually slow. Apparently they also serve a breakfast buffet, though I've never gotten it because I have airport lounge access at Heathrow *flicks hair* My only first world gripe is that it is a long walk from when you get to Terminal 4 to the actual space of Premier Inn.

Ok value for the price…read more The best thing about the hotel is of course its convenience to Terminal 5 at Heathrow. There are two bus stops very close to the hotel that have several buses each hour, that take about 10 minutes to reach Terminal 5. I also really appreciate the staff - they were friendly and efficient. However, the hotel itself is not the best even for Premier Inns I have stayed in. It was not clean - the toilet needed cleaning - Gross, and everything else had an air of neglect. Worst of all, my room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I called down immediately to reception to let them know and they apologized but did not offer me another room. It was literally hard to breathe all night. The bed was also uncomfortable with scratchy sheets and flat pillows. The hotel is also very bare bones- they don't even provide shampoo. It is available for purchase in the vending machine across from the lifts. I dined in the restaurant and it was not amazing but fine for what it was. Overall, a bit disappointed and not the best night of sleep, but with the price of less than $100 USD, I suppose I can't complain.

Great rooms, and what a deal. It's no wonder I had to book again the same week for another layover day. There rooms are so comfortable. Only negative was that there was a minor blood stain on my pillow which was really disgusting, the 2nd time around. (No pic provided, but #569 was horrid because of that) Please wash and thoroughly check your sheets, and esp pillow cases before presenting that to a guest. All and all though I would say a 3 1/2-4 because of that incident. If that didn't happen, a def 5 for me. Food was great too. Love how they have a restaurant and a Costa Coffee cafe. It's perfect, and convenient if you need a quick stay over night.

It was a short uber ride from the airport, and the place was SO cozy and perfect. We ate the best fish and chips of our lives at the restaurant and then hopped over (across the hall) to the pub for a few drinks before walking right up the stairs and going to bed. The bed was comfortable (although Americans- take note that a king size bed in the US is much bigger than a UK King. I'd say the UK king was closer to a queen). There was a gorgeous coffee/tea setup with a Nespresso machine and pods, an electric kettle, some teabags, and chocolates to pair with the coffee. We had a balcony overlooking the river which was gorgeous! Everything about this place was cozy, cute, and felt so English.

Hoping, but not expecting, and this is the perfect way to go through life: Set your expectations low and watch your happiness meter rise. The Swan Hotel is a 16th century place of lodging sitting right beside the Thames. It's been refurbished to a stylish, immaculate inn with both a pub and a restaurant. Staines isn't a hotbed of activity so hanging out in the pub then stumbling up to your room is a very comforting plan. While it's true that a ball placed on the floor of my room would have rolled on its own (remember, 16th century building) it's also true that my room was a dream. With its luxurious bedding, mattress (1600 individual pocket spring mattress), and a French door that opened up to a tiny balcony overlooking the Thames River I'd have enjoyed staying longer. That such charm can be had for so little (rooms here can be had for about $125 per night) brings joy. The Swan Hotel is a Fuller property, a name I saw several times during my time in the UK. Based on my all-around excellent experience here I'd not just seek to stay here again but I'd also seek out other Fuller properties when returning to visit the rest of the UK.

Casual clothes, mounds of spicy food and a disregard for good table manners were just what I needed. Then he took me to a restaurant, and I quote from their website: "Gracing an estate of more than fifty acres in what was once the heart of Royal Windsor Forest in Surrey, Great Fosters is the most distinguished of hotels - a Grade One listed building blessed with the grandeur of 16th century England and luxurious modern facilities." The description does not do this perfectly restored property justice. It is beautiful and perfectly captures the atmosphere of a fine gentlemen's club where you could happily wile away the afternoon in a leather armchair with your banking pals and a fine bottle of cognac. A tad underdressed in suitcase creased jeans and a thick woolly jumper I may have been, but the staff did not miss a beat in their welcome or service. And the food was fabulous. A mushroom soup with truffle that I will wake up thinking about for months followed by salmon dressed with a caper and seafood jus, perfect creamed potatoes and steamed vegetables that all made me want to lick the plate. Totally delicious and made all the more enjoyable by faultless, attentive, friendly yet discreet service. As perfect for a business lunch as a romantic dinner with somebody's wife. I'll be back as soon as I've pressed my suit.

Our room was beautiful and we were grateful for the air conditioning. The Tudor Pass restaurant, now helmed by Executive Chef Stefano Du Giosia, had just reopened after a short break, ad we were the first dinner guests under his watch. Maitre d'hotel Chris was a charming conversationalist as we waited for the 7-course tasting dinner, sharing much hotel history with us. The excellent wait staff included Alex, Rose, and Luka who were all truly professional. Stefano came out of the kitchen from time to time to chat with us, explaning the dishes and their origins, as well as describing how closely he and his staff work with the hotel's gardeners to sustainably source vegetables and fruits on site and meats from the best UK regions: local lamb, scallops from Orkney, trout from Chalk Stream, and more. The presentations were lovely and the flavors exquisite. Luxury farm-to-fork! Most of all, the dining experience was friendly and cheerful, not stuffy. We highly recommend The Tudor Pass restaurant, whether you are a guest at Great Fosters or just passing by.

You can have coffee and hot chocolate anytime, and they have food they can warm up for you. I had been in Spain for 5 days eating yummy tapas but having Hong-style noodles was what I wanted - perfect! I borrowed a hair dryer too. Everything was so well thought out for your comfort, and it sure beats sleeping on an uncomfortable airport chair or trying to figure out the train into London when you are tired and just want to have somewhere to shower and lay down in comfort for awhile.
