Premier Inn or Thistle at Heathrow

[suecee]

Looking for pre flight hotel & parking at Heathrow.

We won't be arriving until close to midnight & I see the Premier Inn has limited parking so maybe we won't get a space?

We'd quite like meet & greet parking but as we're arriving so late not sure if this will work.

The Thistle has onside parking which is convenient but don't fancy traipsing back there when we get home with 4 suit cases.

I'd love to hear people's views.

Now thinking The Thistle & drive to meet & greet parking in the morning?

If you stay at the Thistle you can use the pods 😁
(*that's not what you should base your decision on of course)

Not sure if it is still the case but when we tried to look at the Thistle on Sunday it said it was closed , so not sure if it’s been mothballed for now .

We always stay at the Premier inn on Bath Road never have any trouble parking.

Same as Mr Tapley

Premier Inns attitude re refunds was exemplary and a lesson to many others.

I really like the Bath Rd one with Purple Parking being right next door.
You can use the complimentary P parking shuttle to get to and from.
You can use the red buses that are free and go right past.
You can also be daft and pay a lot for the Premier Inn shuttle, if that is your want!

That’s good , we booked Premier inn terminal 5 for October , cancellable. As I foresee a bun fight and huge rise in prices if and when they open up the borders, same with airport parking ours is done and fingers crossed we go , if not we don’t lose anything.

Unfortunately the Heathrow free travel zone is being suspended in June this year so the red buses will no longer be free. london.gov.uk/questions/2021/0998

No problem. Until it resumes, then Purple it is! My preferred choice in any case.
