Budget Hotels near Heathrow Airport
London’s Heathrow Airport is one of the world’s busiest, and it has more than its fair share of late-night and early morning flights. Getting to or from Heathrow to London proper will take at least an hour (and often closer to two hours), so many people prefer to stay near the airport if their flight is very early or late.
Fortunately, there are quite a few affordable hotels in this area, and in most of them you can leave your room and be in the terminal within 20 minutes. Some of these are better-suited to drivers and some for those without a car.

Hostels near Heathrow Airport
There are precious few hostels with dorm beds in this area. The good news, though, is that several area hotels have double rooms starting around the cost of two hostel beds, and some of them even have deals on singles.
Many of these are used mainly by business travelers, so if you want to stay on a Friday or Saturday night you can often get great deals. Some of these places include breakfast, wi-fi, a free shuttle ride to the airport, or all three.
All relevant information is summarized below the map.
