We recently stayed at the B&B Hotel London Heathrow Airport and overall had a pleasant experience with a minor hiccup. The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute ride on a local bus from Terminal 5 (you can also use the HotelHoppa service from bus stations 17 or 18 at the same terminal). This made getting to and from the airport very straightforward.
Check-in was easy — you can use the self-service kiosks or go through reception. The hotel itself has been nicely renovated with fresh paint and a clean, modern feel.
We booked a room with twin double beds, as the standard French double was too small for us. The beds were comfortable and supportive, perfect for a good night's rest before or after a flight.
However, not everything was smooth. Our initial room had non-functional air conditioning and no fan control. Reception at first insisted the A/C was centrally controlled and refused to move us. Only after we pushed for a room change were we given one with working air conditioning. If you're staying in warmer months, it's worth checking this when you arrive.
The paid hot breakfast was very good — a generous and varied selection that exceeded our expectations. There's also a short-order kitchen available at the hotel, though the menu is fairly limited.
In terms of nearby dining, there's an Italian restaurant just a 2-minute walk away, and directly across from the hotel is a Thai pub, offering additional options if you don't want to eat in.
Overall a very good stay.
