"If you are okay with a short train ride to central London. This hotel is for you. Pro close to the train station. Shopping mall and restaurants near by. Con no air conditioner, but they provide a fan. If you are travelling in the fall or winter. This hotel would make a great choice."

These terms are similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.
