From Heathrow airport, I did not notice that Heathrow connect is so expensive,. i.e., 6.3 GBP for 6 min ride. It is about 10 GBP by taxi. Therefore, I would recommend you to taxi, if you are two or more. The hotel itself is excellent,-- new, clean, and convenient. I had comfortable stay. In contrast, transportation to downtown is expensive. Therefore, if you go to downtown for tour everyday, it would be better to stay in downtown.
