The Thistle Hotel Heathrow is at the north-west corner of Heathrow Airport along the northern perimeter road - the Bath Road close to Longford village. The hotel is one of the closest hotels to Terminal 5 at Heathrow.
There are a couple of pubs in Longford village just 5 minutes walk away and a McDonalds close by. Free local buses run every 20-30 minutes from outside the hotel to Terminal 5. There are also dedicated Heathrow Hoppa buses to all the passenger terminals from reception.
On a fine day the hotel has a great viewing area and bar overlooking the runway at Heathrow.
Although the Thistle is not the most attractive hotel architecturally from the outside, room rates can be very attractive.
