Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel
"For the price, the room needs a refresh urgently, in order for it to keep up with the masses of Heathrow competition. I paid extra for the runway view but the windows are so dirty that you can’t see anything. The T5 Thistle is half the price and on par for amenities, albeit a smaller room."
