Hostels and cheap hotels near Heathrow Airport

London’s Heathrow Airport is one of the world’s busiest, and it has more than its fair share of late-night and early morning flights. Getting to or from Heathrow to London proper will take at least an hour, and often closer to two hours, so many people prefer to stay near the airport if their flight is very early or late.

Fortunately, there are quite a few affordable hotels in this area, and in most of them you can leave your room and be in the terminal within 20 minutes or so, even on public transport. Some of these are better for drivers and some are better for those without a car, so have a look at the description next to each name below to sort out which are which.

Heathrow Hotel Lodge

This budget hotel is about as close as you could possibly get to the airport without being on one of the runways. It has all the amenities of a business hotel at a good price, but most importantly they have an 8-passenger shuttle that will pick you up or take you to your terminal for free, although you do have to request the service ahead of time rather than just flagging the van down yourself.

Heathrow House B and B

This isn’t the cheapest hotel on this list, but it does have a few things going for it. It’s one of the most comfortable, and it comes with a free full English breakfast, but the best feature is that it’s right on a bus line so you can be at the airport in about 20 minutes for £2 if you time it right.

A Night Inn

This is a basic 2-star hotel with cheap rooms considering its convenient location. All rooms have ensuite and TV, but the best part is that it’s only one train stop away from Heathrow, so you could leave your room one minute and be in your terminal less than 20 minutes later.

Hayes Heathrow Premier Inn

The Hayes is a business-oriented hotel with all the normal amenities. It’s about 3 miles from Heathrow, which is great if you’ve got a car, especially since there is a free car park here. But it’s not as good for public transport to the terminals, so if you haven’t a car there are better choices. The rates are lowest on weekends here, so it’s quite cheap if that’s when you are passing through.
