The stays, and why

Our pickLowest total

Premier Inn London Heathrow Airport Terminal 4

Covered walkway8 min to check-inNo transfer cost

Room, typical: £70–£130
Transfer: £0
Typical total: £70–£130

Who it suits: Most early departures from Terminal 4, and anyone who wants a bed and a short walk without paying for extras.
Why we would choose it: You walk to Terminal 4 through an enclosed walkway, and the rate is usually the lowest of the hotels joined to the terminal.
The compromise: A budget hotel. Rooms and food are straightforward, and the walk is a little longer than from its nearest neighbour.
Worth paying more?: This is the lowest total. Pay more only for a better room or a shorter trip to the terminal.

Why we would choose it: Joined to Terminal 4 by a covered walkway, about four minutes.
