The Pod from terminal 5 is the best!! Literally take elevator to 2nd floor, get into this little automated pod which takes 5 min to parking lot & a few min walk to hotel reception... Check in was amazing - staff super friendly & advised to self check in since I was early ... Only reason I give 4 stars is it's in need of a facelift.. bathrooms a little 'old' & carpets could be replaced in hallway... also I literally got the furthest room from reception even though I checked in early? But super convenient since I had a morning flight & would stay there again for the convenience...

I stayed at the Thistle on a layover at Heathrow. It was a quick and enjoyable pod ride to the hotel and the automatic check in was very efficient. Managed to check into my room within less than an hour from touching down. The room is the standard English hotel room, the bed is comfortable, and everything I needed was there. I would have liked to get something at the restaurant but found myself falling asleep right away! Great place to stay on a layover from Heathrow. I would definitely go again.
