Our summary

Premier Inn Heathrow earns 88 by delivering honestly on what matters most for airport hotels. The noise issue for runway-facing rooms is the main weakness — not dishonest exactly, but inadequately communicated at booking.

Booking tip

Email the hotel before arrival and request a non-runway-facing room. Request an upper floor for best noise reduction.
