Airport Hotels have changed…
In the past using an airport hotel used to be a chore for travellers, they were synonymous with poor quality and even poorer service. For most travellers the airport hotel was used so that you wouldn’t have to risk getting caught in traffic an hour before your departure, the extra couple of hours of sleep were always an extra benefit but other than that there was very little added value for the customer.
However in recent years the hotel providers have realised that the holiday doesn’t have to start when you get to the resort, it can start in the airport hotel!
With the recession still gripping the UK, holiday and business travellers have taken notice of the value of cheap airport hotels, and their use as a stop gap between journeys has increased dramatically.
Why choose an Airport Hotel?
An obvious one: It’s usually next to the airport!
Travelling can be a tiring experience, early mornings and late nights will not make it any better. Hotels at Heathrow Airport have 5-10 minute bus journeys directly to your terminal, meaning you can stay in bed for an extra few hours plus you will have had time to have breakfast.
Costs less
Airport hotels can sometimes be fifty percent cheaper than normal inner city hotels, it doesn’t matter whether you’re going on holiday or going to a business meeting everyone wants to pay less for accommodation.
Luxury
Airport hotels now know that their customers want value for money and quality; this has meant that most airport hotels have gyms, swimming pools, Wi-Fi access, restaurants and bars. Everything you will need to keep you occupied in case of any delays with the flights.
