Forums Other London life Guaranteed early check in (for an extra fee)

  • 32 posts

    Arriving at Heathrow on one of those crack of dawn flights and need to find a hotel that guarantees early check in (no point choosing one where early check in is subject to availability. As Rob says, if its not guaranteed then its worthless).

    Obviously I expect to pay extra for this. Looking on Accor, the earliest options I can see are guaranteed 8am check in at the Novotel Paddington (for an extra £30) and guaranteed 9am check in at the Ibis Shepherds Bush (for an extra £20).

    Do any other hotels chains offer anything similar in London? Would nice to have a few more options. Location flexible as long as its reasonably central and ideally in the below £200-£250 category.

    Good luck with this. I posted a similar request over a year ago and came up with nothing. I think the premier inn chain maybe be 2pm rather than the 3pm standard.

    Have you looked at booking a day room? That’s guaranteed checking from 8am or 9am depending on the hotel

    Thanks for the feedback. Looks like Accor it is. Thanks for the suggestion about day rooms but pretty sure I won’t be able to get one for anything like the £30 early check in supplement.

    A few weeks aago, Prem asked us for ten quid to check in at 1450h instead of 1500h!!!
