Heathrow
Hotel Transfers :
Unlike
most international airports Heathrow's hotels are not allowed to offer
free complimentary shuttles.
Instead fixed route "Hotel Hoppa " buses operate to several
hotels on each route from Terminals 1,2 and 3.
Separate routes go to Terminal 4 and 5.

Hoppa
Bus |
It
is also possible to use alternative free local buses
to many hotels - of course this somehow isn't brought to the attention
of most travellers.
You can purchase tickets from machines at the bus stop outside each
terminal.
You can also purchase tickets from the driver, but the driver only
takes UK cash.
The machines take debit and credit cards.
Once at the hotel you can also purchase tickets at reception.
Early morning when a lot of people check out for early flights the
buses can be extremely crowded.
The layout of the buses is such that a significant proportion of space
is given over to luggage storage space.
