I am undecided if to book the Ibis or Premier Inn on Bath Road Heathrow for the night before my Croatian holiday in May

I have stayed at the Ibis before so can anyone give me info both positive and negative about the Premier Inn

Both are the same price

Many Thanks

Sue 🙂

I've stayed at both and in my opinion both are good, but the PI just edges it as the beds are extremely comfortable and the restaurant has a wider menu.  The PI is also very popular with JY travellers, so you may bump into some of the group there, whereas I've never met any fellow travellers at the Ibis!

Hope this helps,

Bob

I always stay at the Premier Inn on Bath Rd, I agree with Bob about the comfortable beds and the wide menu

but there is also a choice of places to eat a few minuets walk away.

Definitely the Premier Inn! I live in them all over the country as you can guarantee to get a really comfortable bed, a quiet room, and excellent breakfast - and dinner. I've stayed once at the Ibis some years ago - never again! It may, however, have improved. You know what you are getting with a Premier Inn!

Cheers,

Premier Inn it is. It will be a nice change for me as I have always stayed at the Ibis

Going to book now

Yours Sue

Is there a shuttle bus from this Premier Inn to the terminals or would you need to get a taxi?  Just asking as I'll need to stay over in November for the Mekong River Cruise and checking to my options so I'm ready to book once cruise is given the green light (any update on that Mildred?).

Thanks everyone.

Hi Rose

Yes there is but the only fault is that they are only every half hour and the last time I just missed one by 2 mins so had half an hour to wait. Think its £4.50 each way--gone are the days when the hotels provided shuttle buses !

You can get the timetable off the internet

I dont know how much a taxi would be-Bob will know

I booked the Premier in yesterday -it had gone up £2 from when I looked last week

Yours Sue

Taxi prices vary a bit depending on which terminal you're coming from/going to, but are generally £12 - 16.  I know it's cheaper to get the Hoppa bus but I really don't want the wait so I always get a taxi.  When leaving the PI, the taxis have always been early!

All the best,

Bob

I frequently take a taxi from the Premier Inn in Bath Road. Check with the driver how much he is going to charge - especially to Terminal 5. When I asked the other week he said £19, and when I queried it, he then said £16! I always allow £20 to include tip etc. to be on the safe side. This particular taxi driver had a very smelly taxi (which is unusual) and didn't help me with my bags getting a trolly in the rain - and me a white-haired pensioner too! Normally they are pretty good and it is so much easier than having to lug your luggage onto the Hoppa bus.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Hils

However, a while back I booked the Premier Inn for a trip later this year having got the impression it is popular with JYers.
