The stays, and why

Our pickLowest total

Premier Inn London Heathrow Airport Terminal 4

Covered walkway8 min to check-inNo transfer cost

Photo to come

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

Who it suits: Most overnight connections at 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. You pay for little more than a bed, which is what a short night needs.
The compromise: A budget hotel, and the walk is a few minutes longer than from the Holiday Inn Express.
Worth paying more?: Usually not. On a short night, paying more buys little you will use.

The compromise: You pay noticeably more for the same walk.
Worth paying more?: Only if your gap is long enough to use what you are paying for.

Check before you book

Whether you can leave the airport at all. Check the entry rules for your passport before you plan to go landside, and whether your bags are checked through or you must collect them.
Count the hours you really have. Take away immigration and baggage on the way in and security on the way out, and see what is left for a bed.
If you leave from a different terminal, the guide to getting between terminals covers the journey, and how long to allow.
That your onward flight leaves from Terminal 4 too. It stands apart from the other terminals.
