I stayed here flying out to Thailand and i have to say it was an awful place! Not clean at all and noisy as hell! shuttle bus took forever to come pick us up at the airport....so you can guess i wont be staying there again in a hurry !

Great shuttle service to and from Heathrow and the staff was very kind.

When I got to Heathrow, I called the hotel for directions and the guy did not know how to get to the hotel from Heathrow. He kept telling me to ask someone in information at the airport, which in return asked me to ask the people at the hotel. I ended up taking a taxi to the hotel that was one mile away from the airport, but it cost 16 pounds! On the brightside, the hotel was reasonably clean and comfortable.close

Clean bedding, bathroom, etc. The carpet could have used some cleaning though. Super close to Heathrow so it was nice to unload our stuff fairly quickly. No air conditioning or internet access. Nice Fish and chips place within walking distance!

The breakfast is expensive for what you get (just dont add it to your stay unless you really have to), the shuttle service to/from the airport was infrequent but managable. As someone else said, you are DIRECTLY under the runway so bring earplugs if you want to sleep. It was private though.

The only downsides were the room and bathroom smelled kind of odd... and I was disappointed to find out that there wasn't any internet. Would stay here again though.close

This place was much farther from downtown London than they lead you to believe. It took about an hour to get downtown and because you have to take the Heathrow stop on The Tube, the cars are always full. The shared bathroom was gross and the beds didn't come with sheets. Still can't figure out... more This place was much farther from downtown London than they lead you to believe.

Still can't figure out why they only give one towel to a two person room...close

The best part of this lodge is the free shuttle to/from Heathrow airport. It would be nice if it ran during the whole day though. It is right beside the airport so don't stay here if you don't like hearing airplanes fly over your head every 15 minutes. Overall, it was ok.

A little far from the main part of London. Close to the airport. Courteous staff.

If you are looking to be closer to the airport, this place was great for that. There was a nice pub across the street and getting to the trains to go to central london was easy, however, it took nearly an hour.

There was a nice pub across the street and getting to the trains to go to central london was easy, however, it took nearly an hour. Do not get the breakfast, as it is a rip off you can just as easily find something better and cheaper. The staff was there 24 hours which was nice seeing as I had to take a taxi at 3am to the airport.close

The Heathrow Lodge is very close to the airport, but it takes almost an hour to get into Central London. The Lodge itself is fairly clean and very safe. The mattresses were not the most comfortable, but for a weary traveler, they were just fine :)

The walls are as thin as tissue paper and there are too many people for one bathroom! Otherwise, A nice place to stay.

A little out of the way of the tube, but easily reached by bus. Nice cottage-like buildings...amazing scenery. This place offers wake up calls and free shuttles to your respective terminals at Heathrow!!

I have never heard a plane that loud. Its a great location, but if you want to get a good nights rest, it is kind of difficult. Overall a good place.
