Photo to come

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

Who it suits: Most late arrivals into Terminal 4.
Why we would choose it: A covered walk from the terminal at what is usually the lowest rate of the hotels joined to it. Nothing to catch, however late you land.
The compromise: A budget hotel, and the walk is a few minutes longer than from the Holiday Inn Express.
Worth paying more?: Usually not. For a short night, paying more buys little you will use.

Check before you book

Landing time is not kerb time. Add passport control and baggage before you judge what will still be running.
Tell the hotel you will arrive late, so the room is held.
That your flight really arrives at Terminal 4. It stands apart from the other terminals.
