Advantages: Clean, Comfortable Room, Quiet, Air Conditioned, Secure, Good Facilities

Disadvantages: Hotel Guests Pay for Parking!

I stayed at the Premier Travel Inn on Bath Road by Heathrow Airport on Thursday 3rd August 2006. I spent one night here and booked the accomodation through www.hotelconnect.co.uk!

I checked in around 5pm, It was easy to find, straight down bath road towards the airport with a big Premier Travel Inn Sign- hard to miss! You go through a barrier and take a ticket and it lets you and your vehicle into the car park which has security. The carpark is crazy, its so close to the British Airways cargo depo that my car was literally parked next to a Boeing 747 Jumbo jet!!!

Inside the hotel the reception was in a large open space with restuaurants, a bar, costa coffee bar, lounge seating area. There were lots of staff working on reception and I was served imediately by a receptionist. I was also impressed to see they had a seperate desk for Airline Staff so they can fast track the queue!

I had to give the receptionist my parking ticket and pay a small 24 hour parking rate then she said when i leave the carpark i swipe out and swipe in using my room key card. very handy and easy!

I paid £58 for a single room (igot given a large room with a double bed, sofa bed and a bed on the floor! room for four people! There was an air conditioning unit in the room that was quiet and very useful with the warm weather at the time.
The Room was clean and simple, but modern and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable and I had a really good nights sleep in my bed!
I was concerned about the noise from aircrafts taking off and landing and the traffic! Its such a busy place heathrow, its crazy! But inside the hotel it was really quiet!

The Ensuite was very clean, nice white towels, long bath and hot water at peak times... i.e. 8am in the morning, 6-10pm on an evening! Its nice to be in a hotel that has enough hot water for everyone!

I ate in the hotels bar on the evening. there was a more formal restaurant where you can book tables and have table service etc, and also a bar that does bar meals such as pie and chips, sausage and mash, jacket potatoes etc- I ate there. It was about £8 for a main course. Not too bad. and the food was very nice!

My booking included breakfast in the price so I ate from the buffet breakfast next morning. Even if you have to pay the £6.99 for the breakfast it is worth it! There was a selection of cereals, cold and hot drinks, lots of choice on the hot english breakfast buffet, fresh fruit, yoghurts etc!


Over all, Enjoyed my overnight stay in the Premier Travel Inn and would stay there again! Ive had good stop overs in other premier travel inns too and see them as a brand I can rely on for a clean comfortable room that guarantees a good nights sleep!
I've stayed at the Liverpool docksides by the beatles museum- the premier travel inn there is excellent! very funky inside with lots of brick features and arched ceilings in the bedrooms- its like a big old converted factory!


Going back to the Heathrow Premier Travel inn- there is a bus service that runs between hotels and also to the airport. If you know people in other hotels, dont drive there, take the bus enjoy a drink with your friends and get the bus back. there are also busses to the airport terminals from the hotel- so its a useful place to stay if you have a flight to catch or your longhaul cabincrew needing a room for the night if you commute from the north! As the hotel has a dedicated airline staff check in desk at the hotel reception, they will probably have a discounted rate for airline staff who show their airline ID- I know The Ibis does this and rooms are as little as £30 a night when an ID is produced!

Summary: Clean, Comfortable, Climate Controlable, Modern, Efficient Check In and Out, Good Value
