Aerotel London Heathrow, Terminal 2 & Terminal 3

This was nearly perfect for my overnight stay. Nice, clean room, with amenities, wonderfully located. Close to Terminals 2/3, a bit of a walk to Terminal 5 where I was leaving out of for international flights, but that is to be expected with a hotel in a massive airport- if it is close to one terminal, it will be further away from another

Very nice room. Great location. If you are flying from T3, hotel is right there opposite M and S, which sells food and open till quite late. You can walk to T3 without the use of a lift which can get very, very busy. Take side door and walk across courtyard. We did not even turn on the tv this time or last time we stayed, it was not necessary as we were having a great time. This hotel has really nice bathrooms with lovely smelling shower gel and handwash - also, you can wash your travel clothes out and they will dry overnight, so a big help if you hand luggage only. Only place I want to stay in Heathrow from now on. I might go to Hilton Gardens again as you can see the runway from a distance at the side and they have a lovely skybar, but getting to T3 took ages from Hilton Gardens and we eventually carried our suitcases down the stairs last time, which was stressful.If you are a solo traveller, you feel safe there. Lounge should be a bit more inviting though, because it is very nice. Hilton Gardens for proper hotel room. Here for ease and simplicity getting to T3. The price for cans of drink in reception is cheaper than M and S. Only one cafe though, Cafe Nero, usually packed. Rooms are not good for anyone who has claustrophobia, but I really like them. I have stayed twice here now, once by myself for two nights and once with my son for one night. Staff have always been lovely.

It was exceptionally convenient after seeing a family member off at 10.30pm on a flight from terminal 3, eliminating a journey on a tube train at such a late hour, on my own. Staff were really friendly, helpful and efficient when checking in and out. The whole place was very quiet and clean. The room was a good size, with a large exceedingly comfortable double bed and plenty of room for my bag and wall space to hang my coat and clothes up on coat hangers (3). It was good to see a kettle, cups and complimentary tea and coffee, with sachets of sugar and milk. Also complimentary bottles of water. The TV provided some entertainment before bedtime, after a relaxing shower in the immaculately clean and well stocked, en suite, bathroom, equipped with soft white towels, hand and body wash and other essentials. I felt very safe and comfortable on my own and throughly enjoyed my stay. It was worth paying that bit more for such a convenient place to stay given my circumstances that evening, on my own.

Location

I didn't buy any breakfast, but they had some food to buy, which is very convenient. Hot water and amenities like tea or coffee in the room were really great. The location is number 1 reason to select the place.
