8/10 Good
"We always use IBIS before or after a flight. Close to Heathrow airport, bus stop practically right outside your door (depending on whether you're arriving or departing to the airport - Airport Hoppa is now available as well). Good value - has a decent shower and bed. Rooms not huge but work well when passing through. You can have breakfast...or not - up to you. Staff/front desk is fast and efficient."

Ibis budget London Heathrow Central

10/10 Excellent
"I normally stay close to Heathrow when I have an early morning flight and used to stay at a similarly named Ibis hotel along Bath Road. I will be using this one from now on! There is plenty of parking (which can be paid for using the terminal in the lobby or at the check-in desk if you need to park for 24 hours). The staff are efficient and helpful the room was a decent size and clean. The only issue I had was a few black mold spots on the bathroom ceiling, no doubt caused by the steam from the shower when the bathroom door is closed (which they ask you to close to stop is setting off smoke detectors). The hotel is close to a couple of stops on the 105 and 111 bus from the Heathrow Central Bus Terminal which makes it cost effective to get to if you use the TfL buses. Since I had a lot of bags, I took a taxi to the airport instead of the Hotel Hoppa bus and the price was £30 including the curbside drop off fee."
