If BA through their own incompetence, or through their refusal to provide service at T5 (or anywhere else,) cannot provide the room and transport to and from it, then they cannot reasonably expect people to keep within these guidelines. And that is all they are. EU/UK261 does not limit the costs of duty of care.
a quick search yesterday evening when i saw this thread there were 2 heathrow hiltons under £150, one of which was under £100. Plenty of others availble for under £200 slightly further away.

I then looked on IHG and found the HInn on the bath road was under £150.
