This is the second time I’ve stayed at the Radisson Red in the past month due to flying from Heathrow. It is also the second time that checking in was chaotic, with the self check in computers not working and this not being resolved with increased or quicker staff. Moreover, the staff have a habit of not making eye contact with you, not acknowledging you, not really managing the chaos or reassuring properly. In the end, I waited in a queue for around half an hour to check in. People are naturally tired when they get to an airport hotel- the staff need to show some awareness of that. Then in the morning, I asked when the next shuttle to heathrow was and was informed, 2 minutes. I waited for 25 minutes and no bus. I went back to reception to ask what was going on and was told ‘it’s heathrow that run the bus, not us.’ It was yet more unhelpful at tidied and an unwillingness to be at all accountable.
Pro's and con's for this hotel are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.
The gentleman who greeted us at checkout was polite, helpful and happy.
The member of staff who woke us up banging on the next door room at 6am. Not so much.
After what felt like 5 minutes of loud banging outside our door and over 20 knocks at 6am both me and my wife were very much awake. I answered the door to a member of staff who said he was trying to wake the next room. I joked that our room were all awake and he just continued banging as loud as he could on the door. I did let the reception know and they acknowledged that this wasn't normal. The management however dismissed this complaint.
I do think that most long haul flyers value their sleep, but that is the hotels policy apparently.
In the morning we needed to print our COVID test results and the reception staff acted like a McDonald's worker who you have just asked for additional ketchup sachets.
Breakfast however is great, a good spread of hot and cold foods and good coffee too.
The sports lounge is an ideal spot to wait in before you head to the airport to check in too.
I chose it on the spur of the moment. The environment is pretty good, the price is reasonable, and it takes 10 minutes to get to the airport by bus. I recommend++++++++++++++++++++++

I enjoyed staying overnight at this hotel as it was close to the airport and my flight arrived too late for me to take a train or coach to Manchester. Initially there were some delays as they couldn’t find my booking, but it was a small misunderstanding as my name is quite long!
The room is spacious and clean, and would recommend for an overnight stay especially if your flight arrives later at night.
I also liked that they provided water in glass bottles!
Stayed here for a short layover and its quite near Heathrow airport!! Took a bus from the airport, about 15-20mins (excl waiting time) and we reached.
Check in: Swift, maybe cuz it was 11+pm hehe
Service: Great, there was a night menu from the hotel resturant next door and our hotel staff took the extra mile to collect and bring over to reception for us 🙏
Food: Morning breakfast was a classic american brekkie buffet, it was quite good.
Comfort/cleanliness: Bed was comfy, clean. Toilet was huge and very wheelchair accessible but shower area was a little small when curtains are drawn (and if u accidentally touch the wet curtains its SO COLDDDD 😳 toilet wasnt the best looking cuz it looked like public ones but overall still ok
the hotel is super clean and quiet. the location is great, very close to Heathrow Airport, with only about 7mins car ride from Terminal 2, which cost me 16 pounds taking the black cab. you can even see the runway through out the window if your room is in good position (mine is. the breakfast is great too, with many options and all taste good.
Stayed here twice. Very convenient place to stay near Heathrow T2. It has a good restaurant and bar. You can either get an Uber(book it at T2 exit, at arrivals) or a shuttle bus(hotel hopper(?)at the bus station , from the airport to the hotel.
