Hotels - Late night check ins!

[SimonMac]

Flying into Heathrow next Thursday and need a hotel, choices are a hotel near the Airport and an early start for a trip into that there London Village, or a hotel near to where I need to be on Friday morning and a lie in, my natural preference is the latter but it will mean a near mid night check in, assuming I have a booking it doesn't matter what time I turn up to check in?

Call the hotel, and get them to put a note on your booking that you'll be a late arrival. Not so important at the airport, where this is normal, but London Village may be a bit more backward.

Also, if staying at LHR, use the local busses instead of the hotel hoppa, free to use, and will go to LHT bust station rather than all around the hotels first,

Nope. I checked in my hotel at 1am on Monday morning. I do try and remember to call them if I know I'm going to be late but often forget and not had a problem yet. Good chance to ask for an upgrade as well as they know they won't be getting anymore bookings for that night.

Depends on the hotel usually.

Just call ahead and advise of a silly o'clock arrival. They will soon let you know if it's likely to be a problem.

The missus has her hands full but she says she can get in to hotels without a problem at anytime of night or day

yes but that is paying the special hourly rate (or 15 minute rate for Bremainers). I think he wants a whole night & clean sheets.

Booked a hotel near ClientCo at Paddington, forgot about the Heathrow Express only takes 15 mins which means I should be back for last orders which isn't too late I supposse
