Getting to your terminal

A stay only makes sense for some terminals. Here is what the journey takes from the door to check-in at each one.

Our view

Who it suits: Travellers who want a full-service hotel the night before, and business trips where the room matters.
Why we would choose it: It is linked to Terminal 4 by a covered pedestrian bridge, so you get the same easy morning as the budget hotels with more comfort the night before.
The compromise: You pay noticeably more for the same walk to the terminal.
Worth paying more?: Only for the hotel itself. It does not get you to check-in any faster than the cheaper hotels on this list.

Other stays we recommend on the same short list, and what you trade by choosing them.

A budget hotel, and the walk is a few minutes longer than from the Holiday Inn Express.

Typical total £80–£140

A budget hotel with a limited food offer, often a little dearer than our pick.

Typical total £120–£200

Usually among the dearer hotels here, with a walk of six to eight minutes.
