Heathrow cheapest Hotel & Parking

philng

We are travelling down from North West the day before our flight at 8am from Heathrow so need 1 night stay & parking for our holiday. What are the cheapest options & easiest to reduce my stress as never done this before!

Start by looking at comparison sites such as Holiday Extras.

Also bear in mind if your car is a rustbucket you will also have Clean Air Zone charges if the car park is within the Clean Air Zone for two days (day you arrive and day you leave)

You may find booking the hotel seperate to the car park will be cheaper, look at travelodges and Premier Inn.

Also, there was one airport hotel that looked an absolute kip that was mentioned on here recently, avoid that one, I will try and find it and edit it in

Earlier this year we stayed at the Ibis Budget London Heathrow Central which is on the Bath Road. It has on site parking (chargeable but reduced for guests) right underneath the building and is well lit. It's right on the flight path but the triple glazing is effective!

It's nothing special in any way but we would use it again.

Holiday Extras is the best place to start but some hotels also have deals on their own website

I also like Purple Parking on Bath Rd which has a Premier Inn next door. Depends on the deals it can be cheaper to book them separately.

Just be careful with the very cheapest ones as they can have long/expensive transfers to the terminals.

For hotels along the Bath Rd, you can just get a local bus rather than the ludicrously expensive Hoppa service.

I have found Hilton hotel and hoppa transfer but it only goes to T5. I know i can transfer to T3 but those dont start till 5am and my flight is 8am so might be pushed

Be fine but not sure why you would complicate the process with a needless intra-terminal transfer, I would avoid it.

Yes i would rather not have the stress. The Hilton is alot cheaper than some other options. It is a minefield working out best option with so much variance in transfer costs

Just to add that when we went from Heathrow we just stayed and parked at the hotel for one night then parked long term at Heathrow Airport Long Stay for terminals 2 and 3 (next to Purple Parking). You keep your keys which was important for me. They operate a free shuttle service to the airport from around 4 am. I know they aren't the cheapest but I've never had any issues and will use them again.
