For cost-conscious travellers
Premier Inn is the UK's largest budget hotel brand, with more than 850 hotels and a growing international presence. It focuses on providing comfortable rooms and friendly service at affordable prices, making it popular with families, some business travellers and anyone seeking value for money. Premier Inn is known for consistent no-frills standards, clean rooms and one of the widest networks across the country.
TIP: If you book several weeks in advance, especially by selecting a non-refundable rate (provided you are certain of your plans), you can typically find rooms for less than £50 a night.
There are four Premier Inn hotels around the perimeter of Heathrow Airport, each named for the nearest terminal, though some are actually quite a distance away. Of these, the Premier Inn T5 and Premier Inn T4 are the most conveniently located, with the Premier Inn T4 connected to the terminal by an enclosed pedestrian air bridge.
TIP:The Premier Inn M4/J4 is over 2 miles north of the airport, not on a bus route and is best accessed by car. An Uber typically costs £13 to T2 or T3 including the £6 Heathrow Airport drop off charge.

What You Need to Know
TIP: The Premier Inn T4 works well if departing from any terminal. A free train to T2/T3 departs every 15 minutes for the 5 minute journey. From Premier Inn T4 for T5, catch a 482 or 490 bus from
Sheffield Way bus stop next to the hotel. If coming from T5 (bus stop 7), get off at the
Starlight Way bus stop opposite the hotel.
TIP: Need an ironing board and iron? Fridge and coffee machine? Book a
Premier Plus room.
TIP: Look at the meal deals, particularly if travelling with under 16s who may get free breakfast.
