London: Hotel Review - Novotel London Heathrow

Flying from London Heathrow airport to exciting destinations or coming in from afar and want a hotel with easy access to West London? There are a number of the big name hotels within a 5 minute drive of Terminals 1, 2 &3., I recently stayed at the Novotel London Heathrow because I had a food blogger conference to attend in Chiswick, West London.

The foyer of the hotel is large and airy with lots of light magnifying its large entrance.  We were greeted by very friendly reception staff. As I booked in I was advised that breakfast was not included in my room rate and did I want to add this.  I pointed out that it was included and they quickly amended their records.

The room was a family room with a huge double bed all to myself! The bed was incredibly comfortable, I did wake up somewhere in the middle far away from where I started!!

There was an interconnecting door to the room next door if you had a larger party and wanted easy access.  It was quite safe, you couldn’t open the doors unless both rooms wanted to.

I had the usual mini fridge in the room stocked with mineral water and a coffee-tea station.

There was a lovely fruit bowl in my room with mini cakes which I gratefully devoured with my coffee before bed!

I didn’t like the toilet being separate from the main bathroom though but that’s just me being fussy.  The shower was an absolute treat. One of those rain forest effects pouring straight down on your head and the water was a lovely temperature.  I did my usual, lather rinse, think about getting out then lather and rinse again just to enjoy more of the lovely rain forest effect!

The breakfast (which would normally cost £16.95) was a very good representation of the usual Full English Breakfast with lots of added extras.  I do enjoy cutting my own slice of bread from a fresh artisan loaf and popping it into one of the continuous toasters.

There was a great selection of cereals with optional toppings, cold meats and cheese and yoghurt and fresh fruit ready prepared. 

I did like the fruit in the metal stands that looked like the fruit pieces were on a special escalator!

Small children will be kept occupied in the well equipped space whilst mum and dad can have a drink.

The bar was large and open with a huge flat screen TV to watch the rugby or in my case the qualifying for the F1!

I would be happy to stay here again in November when I fly from Heathrow airport to the States for Thanksgiving.
