The Ambassador Heathrow Hotel manages to balance a quiet and relaxed atmosphere with excellent transport links, situated as it is 10 minutes from Heathrow Airport by car or bus. Hatton Cross tube station is one mile away from the hotel and connects to central London on the Piccadilly line, enabling you to travel directly into the busy centre and the theatre districts around Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. The proximity of the hotel to the A4 means that visits to the historic cities of Windsor and Eton are a must, and theme parks Legoland and Thorpe Park are just a little further afield. The local area of Hounslow has shops, bars and pubs to make your free time more enjoyable.
As a small boutique hotel the Ambassador Heathrow Hotel does not have the luxury of lots of top of the range facilities, but it does boast its own garden and terrace that make sunny days a pleasure and are a welcome change from the concrete outskirts of the airport. The hotel also has free wireless internet and a safe that all guests can use.
There is a small car park that patrons of the hotel are welcome to use.
Each of the surprisingly spacious guest rooms is individually decorated and has its own character - a far cry from the identikit bedrooms of nearby chains. All rooms are non-smoking and the vast majority are ensuite, although the two rooms that do not have their own bathroom share a large bathroom with both shower and bath, making them an ideal choice for families travelling with children. The rich decor in each bedroom creates a homely feel, and facilities include free WiFi internet, television with DVD player, bathrobes, daily newspaper, tea and coffee making services, CD and radio, and a daily maid service.
The hotel is renowned for its fresh and delicious breakfasts, which include continental options such as fruit, yoghurt, toast and cereal, or a full English cooked breakfast to really set you up for the day. You can request a packed lunch if you are contemplating a day's sightseeing and would like to save money on expensive shop-bought lunches, and although the hotel does not have its own restaurant or bar the local village has multiple options that should keep you satisfied.
