All cabins have free wi-fi, and can be booked hourly (minimum of 4 hours) starting at 25. An overnig




The accommodation options available to the more than 60 million passengers passing through London's Heathrow Airport each year are numerous. However, for those passengers wanting the convenience of a hotel connected to, or within a terminal building, there are just three options available, the Yotel, the Hilton London Heathrow and the Sofitel London Heathrow.
The Yotel experience is different from a standard hotel, there are check in machines (staff are available at the front desk, known as the Galley) and cabins, not rooms. The standard cabins have a lower or upper bunk, small standing area with pull out desk, a modern (but small) shower/toilet area and are described as a single, seattle apartment rentals or cozy double. For couples or persons who do not like small enclosed spaces or would have difficulties getting into a bunk, then a premium cabin would be a better option as they have more space and a pull out double bed.
All cabins have free wi-fi, and can be booked hourly (minimum of 4 hours) starting at 25. An overnight seattle apartment rentals stay costs around 60 for a standard and 80 for a premium cabin and can be booked on the Yotel website. Food is available 24 hours from the Galley. This is the cheapest Heathrow Airport Hotel option.
To get to the other terminals, the Heathrow Connect train provides free transport to Terminals 1 and 3 and connects to Terminal 5. There is a free bus service to Terminal 5. These are not 24-hour services.
The Hilton hotel is linked to Terminal 4 via a covered walkway in Departures seattle apartment rentals at Zone G. The rooms are a good size and nicely decorated and the beds are very comfortable. The standard rooms are equipped with a desk and on-suite, the inside rooms have a nice view of the atrium lobby.
All rooms have wi-fi available at extra cost. There are three restaurants, a bar and 24-hour room service and for passengers with a little more time, there is a 24-hour fitness centre, pool, sauna, steam room and beauty salon. There is also the added benefit of a complimentary shuttle bus to Terminal 5, which runs every 30 minutes but is not 24-hours.
In common with the new Terminal 5 building, the walkway seattle apartment rentals and entrance to the Sofitel is very impressive and the rooms are equally as nice. There is a workspace in all the standard rooms and all are on-suite with wi-fi (at an extra cost). The hotel has 3 restaurants and 2 bars and 24-hour room service. Spa facilities are available at an extra cost and include a steam room, sauna and vitality pool.
Room prices vary and booking in advance is advisable as an overnight room can start at 113 several weeks in advance and can rise to over 200 at short notice. A room can also be booked for the day from 99. Rooms at the Sofitel can also be booked via hotel discount websites, so check both Sofitel and the discount sites for the best deal.
The Yotel offers a unique experience located directed in Terminal 4. A standard cabin provides a comfortable large single bed, with small area for luggage, standing room and en-suite bathroom. Cabins can be booked by the hour for a minimum of 4 hours starting at 25. A standard cabin is ideal for a single traveler who does not need a lot of space and is the cheapest Heathrow Airport Hotel option. A premium cabin is more suitable for couples.
The Sofitel and the Hilton offer similar accommodation at comparable rates. The Hilton is in Terminal 4 and has good size comfortable rooms. There are on-site restaurants, bar and leisure facilities. Room rates vary starting around 135, but check the Hilton website and hotel discount sites for any specials. The Sofitel is the newest Heathrow Airport hotel and is at Terminal 5. It has nice rooms, onsite restaurants, seattle apartment rentals bars and leisure facilities. Room rates at the Sofitel vary depending seattle apartment rentals on how far in advance a room is booked. If the choice is between the Sofitel and the Hilton, then given the similarity of the facilities, look for the best deal on price and/or whether Terminal 4 or 5 is more convenient.
