Novotel London Heathrow, West Drayton

Thistle London Heathrow : Best Avoided

Advantages: Close to airport and shuttle bus runs frequently
Disadvantages: Bad service, dated rooms

I've stayed at this hotel as I attended an event held in the conference centre. Parking was difficult, mainly because this hotel offers a park and stay facility for Heathrow Airport and after driving around each area of the car park we ended up parking at the side of the exit road. It was good job that we stayed on site for the time we were there as I wouldn't have fancied my chances at parking up again if we left and came back. When we checked in we were told that a pre-authorisation charge would be put on the account until we checked out. This is fair enough, obviously they don't want people charging items to their room and not paying, but our pre-authorisation charge was £400 - nearly three times what our total bill would be.

Review of Thistle London Heathrow, West Drayton

Novotel Euston, London

Advantages: Extremely helpful staff, very high standard
Disadvantages: None

I had decided to treat my mother to a weekend break in London and upon researching various hotels on the internet chose the Novotel Euston (formerly Bernard Shaw Plaza). The cost was £79 for a twin en-suite including full english breakfast for two which I thought was very reasonable. Upon arrival we were very impressed with the exterior and interior of the hotel, the staff were extremely helpful and courteous. The hotel has a panoramic lift which if you take up the the sixteen floor has wonderful views of London, including the London Eye and Canary Wharf . The room itself was spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We ordered room service for Saturday supper which was brought up promptly, average cost of a meal was £13 and the food was superb. Menu offers a good choice on British and International ...

Review of Novotel London Euston, London

BIG IN THE BEDROOM DEPARTMENT

Advantages: Spacious rooms and plenty of them
Disadvantages: Dull

alone – and they are popular with both business and personal travellers. I have never stayed in a Novotel hotel before this week, so the experience was completely new to me. LOCATION The Hammersmith Novotel is one of the most easily recognisable landmarks of West London. Towering up above the Hammersmith flyover, the hotel is well placed for visitors using London as a stop off point, or for tourists who wish to take in the sights. The hotel is conveniently located between Heathrow airport (about 9 miles away) and the West End – Hammersmith tube station is about five minutes’ walk from the hotel and is serviced by three Underground lines. The Piccadilly line provides a direct link with Heathrow airport, whilst the Hammersmith line links directly to a number of the major National Rail stations (Paddington, Euston, King ...
