    Why Feltham? No offence to anyone from Feltham but not where I would want to spend the first night of my honeymoon!

    Feltham is next to Heathrow. So why not look at the multitude of Hotels around Heathrow? One is bound to have a good deal going around then especially as it's a Sat/Sun night and fewer business travellers taking up reservations.

    The only one I can think of in Feltham itself is the St Giles which is right next to the train line - tbh it looks a bit soviet communist era grim (looks a lot nicer on expedia etc than in real life) . Plus there is loads of building work going on in the vecinity of Feltham due to builders trying to cash in on new workforce for Terminal 5. Hotel Website here Hotel could be really nice inside - I would stay there if very cheap as an alternative to staying at Heathrow (which is why people stay there I think).

    Personally I would rather have a bit of a cab journey and go somewhere a bit nicer! There is the Runnymede Hotel and Spa (about 5 miles) - Description and photos on expedia - you would need to talk to hotel direct though (obviously).

    All the Heathrow ones would be very close to Feltham though - but also close to airport so unless you are flying next day. All the big chains are there but wont be geared up for first night of honeymoon. There is the Macdonald Thames Lodge in Staines - but still a taxi drive away (might as well go 2 miles further to Runnymede). There is a Holiday Inn in Shepperton (2.5 miles) and another in Brentford (on the Grand Union Canal).

    If you do a search for Feltham on laterooms.com a long list will come up - you can then do a sort of distance, and then cherry pick the ones that seem suitable.

    I might have been a little harsh about the St Giles - the rooms look ok plus they do mini suites for only £20 more than normal. If you are really adamant that you want to avoid a long taxi journey it would do - and at 3 in the morning you wont really notice the stalinesque elements of its architecture. :p

    Though you might not notice an extra 10 minutes in a cab to the Runnymede either!

    I live just down the road from the St Giles and my company often use it for corporate functions/meetings etc. My folks also stay at the St Giles when they come to visit and they have never had any problems. The hotel is very clean and modern and the staff are always very helpful.

    The St Giles is a 3 star hotel in Feltham.
    Double is £69 or spoil yourself with a suite for £99

    It was a quiet night in Feltham,
    When her husband first felt 'em.

    I'd go for Heathrow hotels in fairness too, probably get a nicer hotel with a nicer deal due to number of rooms they have to shift and it's only 5/10 mins max in a car

    I can't find any deals.
