T5 Heathrow Hotels

Dh and I have an adult only trip away next February. I've been looking at parking and an overnight hotel before our flight.

I'm quite tempted by the Sofitel but it's waaay more expensive than other options, is it worth it? Is it just the location you are paying for?

The Park Inn where we have stayed many times before, but it's not at T5 is £80 including parking. The Sofitel is £207...

I have just booked the brand new premiere inn at terminal 4 for £29, quick connection to T5. Can't go wrong with that price! We always stay the the Gatwick north one and love it

Stayed at Sofitel and it was lovely
However after the bar bill and evening meal came to 130 quid plus the room was 170 I decided against it this time

So I have booked premier inn at T4 with breakfast for 52 quid and in the morning will get the Heathrow bus from T 4 to T5 as it's free.

Paying a premium for concierge, gets free drinks and canapés in a private lounge.

Cheaper than £130 more.
