Brilliant for anyone travelling from T5 with the pod transfer. So quick and easy no waiting for transfer buses. Room was fine and dinner good at a reasonable price. Staff excellent and very helpful. Would recommend.

Although dated, hotel clean & tidy, very nice breakfast choice, easy access to airport on the Pod, station just off the car park. If need arises, will stay here again

Hotel - Very comfortable, worth a 4 start review. Rooms are small but only staying the night before flying. Staff friendly and efficient, helped me organise Pod tickets to terminal 5. Bar snack available at fair price. Parking - Terrible, main reason for 3 star review. Pre paid packages mean nothing. Had to drive around car parks searching for a space in Car Park A as per FHR instructions. No space at all. Ended up parking in another hotel area which had a couple of spaces. Not the place to park if in a rush or if elderly/infirm.

It is the first time I have booked through you normally I book direct. Maybe I was unlucky but my room was about as far away from the entrance as you can get and certainly farther than when I book direct

Great position for T5. The POD made transfer easy but it was raining when we left the hotel and the walk across the car park without cover seemed quite long. The bar was comfortable and the food in the restaurant was very good, with friendly service.

The hotel was easy to find, but finding somewhere to park the car was a bit of a problem baring in mind it wasn't even peak season! We drove round the entire car parks before we found a space just one space before the exit! The meal choice in the restaurant was quite good. The pod to the airport was a great way to travel there very quick and easy. All things considered the hotel is spot on for a stay before flying IF you can find a parking space!

We have used the Thistle hotel for many years off and on when flying from Heathrow. It's a little jaded and tired now. Needs a little love and attention.

Great location, helpful staff, convenient access to T5 Heathrow via pods we used. Rooms acceptable though not very modern ok for an overnight stay. Coffee/tea facilities & TV plus modest size bathrooms. Will use again & best price we found via FHR Airport Services Ltd

Very convenient for Heathrow airport. Very good reception experience. Took advantage of 4 days parking when we travelled to Prague for long weekend. Room was very quiet even though hotel is alongside runway with planes landing every minute!

The hotel, room and car parking are fine. The food is dreadful; mine was changed once but the substitute just as poor

Clean room with everything needed for an overnight stay. Small but fine for one night. Friendly and helpful staff. Food good, although restaurant decor could do with updating. Loved the Pod!

Clean and comfortable if a little basic. Standard Airport hotel with unique option of using the Pod system to travel to T5 which is reason for booking. Check in busy and staff helpful despite a mix of rather abrupt customers.
