This popular hotel is located in Terminal 3 and provides clean rooms and nice facilities.
Aerotel London Heathrow is located directly within the airport, in Terminal 3, and accessible from other terminals via a shuttle service. It is one of the best accommodation options for a tight layover or an early flight. You can reach downtown London in less than half an hour via the subway
The hotel features compact, windowless, soundproof rooms to ensure rest despite the busy environment. Each room has essentials like a flat-screen TV, an air conditioning unit, and a kettle for tea. Bathrooms are small but have everything necessary: a walk-in shower and complimentary eco-friendly toiletries.
Dining options are pretty much just the so-called Library Lounge: a combined lounge and eatery offering light meals, snacks, and drinks at budget-friendly prices. This is not a gourmet experience or a proper hotel restaurant, but rather akin to a decent airport lounge, suitable for quick refueling.
Other drawbacks of the hotel are the limited amenities - there's no gym or pool or any public areas bigger (or quieter) than the lobby. The lack of natural light in the rooms is unappealing although standard for hotels inside airports.
Despite its minimalist approach, Aerotel fulfills its purpose for a restful stopover with excellent proximity to the Terminal. It's a good choice for a quick, no-frills stay before a flight.
Check-in is available from 15:00 and check-out is required by 11:00.
