Hi guys It's chris here from Some Bloke Who Travels a Lot and today we are at London Heathrow airport.
Staying overnight at the Ibis Styles Hotel, London Heathrow before a flight to Athens.
Now I have got to say this is the best value hotel I have stayed in at Heathrow airport and if like me
you are a bit of a plane spotter an aviation geek. Well frankly it was priceless I paid £42 for
single occupancy for a runway view room. There are no premiums for a fourth floor runway view,
however you do need to contact the hotel at booking to request one of these rooms. Another
reason why I recommend booking direct with the hotel. In the description below you will find
a link to the Ibis Styles website where you will get the best prices like my £42 and also
able to request any special requirements such as the room with runway views. In the description I have
also included all the transport links to the Heathrow terminals so you can plan your trip
that little bit better. So let's take a look at the room properly and at the end of the video
I have added a little footage taken from the room including an Emirates A380 takeoff
and on the screen now you can find a link to all the runway footage I took from the room.
So room 404 on the fourth floor. As a new hotel, absolutely immaculate. With our
standard master switch you need your room key card to make everything work. Air conditioning
unit that worked a treat, a little warm for me at 26 degrees so I have taken that down to 21.
We can see slightly funky colors which you normally get in an Ibis Styles, a couple of little
features so we can hang our coats up. Door standard door with the double lock security on and a do
not disturb sign. As we get into the room for a budget hotel,very spacious, big large television
lot bigger than in an ordinary Ibis with their new rooms. We have extra pillows, extra towels.
A good working area, what have we got in here oh a hairdryer, if you have seen me
in other videos you will know that is completely superfluous to my needs.
As you can see slightly funky carpet but what you are also going to see is quite a funky mural.
Now I am not entirely sure what a spaceman has to do with an airport hotel but who knows maybe
they are getting ready in the future for Richard Branson's Galactic taking off from from London
Heathrow , who knows. If you look to the side of the bed we have what looks suspiciously like
an airplane cart and inside our airplane cart are our tea and coffee making facilities .
I love little touches like that, that thoroughly amused me and yes inside was our kettle and our
basic tea and coffee with some with some milk so I had a bearable cup of tea in the morning .
The bed itself, very comfortable and as you would expect from an Accor hotel
even in their budget range of Ibis very comfortable and immaculately clean.
Beautiful linen and a very comfy bed. I thoroughly enjoyed a night's sleep in that bed it was great.
And now we step into the bathroom and as always with Accor hotels your bathroom is always
clean, it's always spotless in what is basically a brand new hotel it was wonderfully
clean. A little airplane themes going through. A little cheeky monkey hanging on the window. As you
can see my big test. Yes nothing to fault there. It was it was a great shower room again spotlessly
clean, loads of towels for single occupancy and a very straightforward shower. Now I had a relaxing
morning but one thing that gets me in hotels is the most complicated shower system to use at 4am
in the morning when you are going for an early check-in. And now what I really paid for the view.
We are straight across from Terminal 4 ( not 5 )
This was during the Covid situation so flying was was limited but
some absolutely amazing views. Now you're a little bit back you're on the other side of the road from
the Renaissance hotel which is often argued as the the best view but of course The Renaissance is
twice the price of the Ibis Styles at any time. I thought from this fourth floor room
they were fantastic views and you are going to see some great stuff in a second. So I thought
incredibly good value, spotlessly clean easy to get to the terminals backwards and forwards.
and I just thoroughly thoroughly recommend staying at the Ibis styles as I said earlier there's a
link in the description below to the Ibis Styles website so you can book at the best rates.
and you can also request one of these rooms and I've also put the links to the transport
routes so whether you're getting an Uber whether you're getting a taxi or whether
you're using the bus. I recommend the bus it was very easy and very straightforward. Now i make
videos like this all the time, hotel reviews , destination reviews flight reports. So
please do check out the channel and for more videos you might like to consider subscribing
and if you ring the bell. You Tube will notify you when I publish a new video.
Thank you for watching that was the Ibis Styles at London Heathrow Airport. Enjoy a little bit of runway action
