Top Henley-on-Thames Hotel Reviews

Sofitel London Heathrow

10/10 Excellent

"We always enjoy our stays and flights out of Heathrow."

Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5

8/10 Good

"We cleared Heathrow Terminal 5 after midnight and had trouble finding the pod service that would take us to the hotel. No one working at that hour could tell us what the service was called or where to connect with it. When we found it, we were only told we'd be taken to a car park, with no confirmation that the hotel was anywhere near it. And then, when we arrived at the locked gate on the way to reception, we didn't know what to do. When it's dark and there's no helpful signage, it's easy to feel you've been conned."

Leonardo London Heathrow Airport

8/10 Good

"Great stop to rest easy access to the airport"

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow
