Close by: Located closest to terminal 5 and the reason
why the hotel is called the
Premier Inn Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. Right next
door to the hotel is a leisure centre with swimming pool, gym and cafeteria.
Only a 100 yards walk north finds a McDonalds fast food restaurant. There are a
few village style local pubs (Longford Village), the closest being the White Horse and the Kings
Arms both of which are within half a mile. There's also a couple of Asian
restaurants close by however that's about it for the immediate vicinity. There
are bus services running close by that stop at Slough station (75/76, 81). From there you
can get a bus to Windsor where there is the major attraction of Windsor Castle.
Although the Premier Inn Heathrow Terminal 5 has the address is the Bath Road,
this is not part of the larger section dual carriageway A4 section known as the
"hotel strip" where most of the
Heathrow Hotels are located. This is further west and there is little
traffic passing directly past the hotel. The main road to the north is the Colnbrook bypass.
The nearest motorway junction is the cross section of the M25 (junction 15) and
the M4 (junction 4b). Nearest major town centres are Staines, Feltham and
Hounslow.
Premier Inn Heathrow Airport Details:
The hotel is a brand new build and stands on the site of the former Longford
House. The obvious attraction for this particular location is its close
proximity to terminal 5 which is on the west side of the airport and a
free bus
runs from outside the hotel to terminal 5 (423). The Premier Inn is actually
opposite the
Thistle Heathrow
Hotel.
Features a
full height courtyard atrium and roof plant accommodation.
As in common with other
budget hotel
brands services are standardised across all their hotels so regular clients
will know what to expect. With Premier Inn this means some of the bets budget
accommodation in terms of bang for buck in the UK.
Onsite is a Costa Coffee shop along with the hotels own Thyme restaurant (with a
varied menu of traditional and contemporary dishes) and bar. There's also an outdoor area where guests can eat.
The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Something you'll find in the Premier Inn Terminal 5 that you wont find in too
many budget hotels are air-conditioned bedrooms. Hypnos beds come as standard.
Also in each bedroom is a work desk, direct dial telephone, flat-screen TV and tea/coffee
maker. It goes without saying that all bedrooms are en-suite. Daily
housekeeping.
