The free bus zone at LHR was ended in 2021. All buses charge a local fare now which is still half off the usual Hoppa rate (or more). Take bus 105, 111 or 140 down Bath Road to get to most Marriott properties at LHR.

I wouldn't do India Quay as it's too far. I'd stick w/ the first three, whichever gives you the best rate. If you don't have a lot of luggage I'd agree re: Kensington.
Given your long layover I wouldn't do the Marrriott even w/ the 50GBP credit. If you had a short one it would be different.
Keep checking back to see if St. Ermin's opens up or any of the other properties drop below 200GBP - or post on the LNF thread asking for help.
Cheers.

I found a rate of 208GBP at County Hall, so I've booked myself there, although at that rate you don't get the Thames River view.
Don't know much about it, having never stayed there before, however the location seems ideal and most of the reviews seem favorable. Thanks again.

I'm going to have a 22 hours layover but I decided to stick with the Ren at LHR. I got it LNFed down to less than GBP 50, which is around 1/3 of what the hotels cost inside London. Taking the tube is no big deal - as long as you don't do it during rush hours and fortunately my layover is during a weekend so my quick trip into London with 3 small kids should be doable.
I saw that the lounge is closed during weekends - that's the main drawback. Can't see anywhere about if the breakfast is going to be in the lounge.

I found a rate for a "plane spotters room" at the Ren LHR. Does that guarantee me a room facing the runways? It costs 100GBP. As a Gold would I be able to get one of those rooms anyway or just pay the 100GBP to guarantee it which I'm happy to do.

The hotel upgraded us to exec floor, we were facing the road with view of the terminal. The lounge has great view of the runway. The room we had was tiny so it will be nicer to use the lounge to spot planes.

My wife and I had a bottle of wine sitting in our tiny room facing the runway one afternoon. It was fun as the in room tv had a departure flight channel. Not only did you see the taxi and take-off but you knew where they were going.

That sounds fantastic! So if I book a "planespotters" room I'm guaranteed runway view, right?

My son was an avid plane fan and I booked a planes spotters room which gives a runway view. My son was hypnotised! Enjoy your geeky weekend!

Hi all. Looking for a recco towards either the LHR Renaissance or LHR Marriott. Have an overnight layover, getting in about 9pm from FCO, connecting to SEA (both on BA) at 9:55AM the next day from T5.
I do like comfort, I guess my only requirements are reliably clean, up-to-date rooms, wifi, and QUIET. Oh and reliable wake-up calling. I understand there have been remodels? Looking to redeem Marriott points on this booking, as a non-elite.
Also, trying to get to LHR roughly about 7:00 to enjoy the BA J lounge/spa. When should I leave the hotel?
Thank you

Just managed to score a decent fare to LHR in November to piggy back on to my husband's business trip. He is attending at conference at the LHR Marriott, we arranged things so we are arriving early and will spend 3 personal nights at the JW GH first (yeah!) then we have 3 nights at the LHR Marriott, which is a lot of time to kill out by the airport. Tip on the Pheasant is much appreciated. Any tips on things I can do during the day for two full days while he is conferencing away would be much appreciated as well.
