Easiest Heathrow hotel

[chicopaige]

I am a single woman arriving the day before my cruise at terminal 5.  My plan is to take a National Express bus the following morning. Which hotel would be the easiest to get to for this itinerary?
I will have two suitcases so looking for simplicity.

Sofitel Heathrow (covered walkway from Terminal 5)

 

National Express coaches run from Heathrow Central Bus Station (accessed from T5 by a very short free journey on Heathrow Express) or from Terminal 5 bus stops - depending on destination and time

Thank you! Your suggestions are very helpful.

I second the Sofitel: very comfortable and convenient hotel basically the entrance is in Terminal 5.

Another vote for the Sofitel which, as mentioned, is literally at Terminal 5. We've stayed there before and will be there again in a few days prior to a flight.

Booked it, appreciate all your help!

A word of warning (based on our last stay) if you decide to have dinner there. They add a service charge to the bill, as is common in many of our restaurants. However, they also leave an open tip line. It's a disreputable practice that you can only conclude is intended to catch out foreign travellers who may not appreciate that  a service charge IS the tip - so end up tipping twice. If they're still doing this, just strike through the line to close it.

Thanks I will be rummy after a long flight so would have missed service charge I am sure
