chicopaige Posted March 19 #1 Share Posted March 19 I am a single woman arriving the day before my cruise at terminal 5. My plan is to take a National Express bus the following morning. Which hotel would be the easiest to get to for this itinerary? I will have two suitcases so looking for simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted March 19 #2 Share Posted March 19 Sofitel Heathrow (covered walkway from Terminal 5) National Express coaches run from Heathrow Central Bus Station (accessed from T5 by a very short free journey on Heathrow Express) or from Terminal 5 bus stops - depending on destination and time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozscotart Posted March 19 #4 Share Posted March 19 I second the Sofitel: very comfortable and convenient hotel basically the entrance is in Terminal 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Harters Posted March 20 #5 Share Posted March 20 Another vote for the Sofitel which, as mentioned, is literally at Terminal 5. We've stayed there before and will be there again in a few days prior to a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Harters Posted March 21 #7 Share Posted March 21 A word of warning (based on our last stay) if you decide to have dinner there. They add a service charge to the bill, as is common in many of our restaurants. However, they also leave an open tip line. It's a disreputable practice that you can only conclude is intended to catch out foreign travellers who may not appreciate that a service charge IS the tip - so end up tipping twice. If they're still doing this, just strike through the line to close it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
