Parking at Premier Inn London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5, UB7
Arrive early, as you may have to wait for a space. Booked this space as we were staying at the Premier Inn the night before our flight. The hotel was very easy to find, but when we arrived there were no spaces other than a couple of disabled bays. The hotel receptionist told us that we could use one of these, as part of the car park was taken up with building materials. They took details of my registration number, I also left a copy of my receipt on the dashboard just in case. The bus for the airport stops right outside the hotel and it is a short journey to Terminal 5, I expect you can get a bus to the other terminals too. Upon our return, my car was exactly as I had left it, I felt that this was a safe and secure parking spot but would advise anybody using it to arrive early and be prepared to wait for space to become available. People are in and out of the hotel all the time, so this should not be a problem.
