Need to decide on a hotel near London Heathrow Airport

I always stay at the Skyline Sheraton when I just need an overnight at Heathrow. They have a few restaurants and offer a free shuttle bus to the airport. It's been a few years, so I don't know what their current rates are, but find the location to be perfect.

If you have 3, I'm going to recommend against Yotel. I think the Premier Inn will be much more comfortable for a family.

I have stayed twice at the Yotel at Gatwick and I am assuming that Heathrow has the same layout. I stayed by myself. The cabins are tiny; they are fine for one person who wants to sleep. With 3, you'd need at least 2 cabins.. It is like staying in a train compartment. Also, there is a glass divider between the bed area and the toilet/ shower; there is no privacy from your travel partner.

The Yotel is great for a single traveler; the value diminishes when you are traveling with someone else.

Edit: I see Heathrow has triples in the photos. I still think a family will be more comfortable at a traditional hotel. The photos make the cabins look bigger than they are. Also, you can check to see your terminal on the Heathrow website.

We stayed at the Heathrow Sheraton. They had a great rate.

For terminal 3 you want one of the Bath Road area hotels. They are ripe for Priceline bids really since they are all much of a muchness and are often under used, particularly at weekends. If I had to pick out one, the Renaissance has been recently renovated, and has the best views of airport operations, should that be of any interest - and free buses from just down the road into Heathrow. I see little reason to stay over at a different terminal.

Thank you for all the inputs! Looks like Yotel is not a good choice for us after all! I love this forum! I will check out the hotels you suggested...
