Hotels in Staines: Property by Property

These are the places to stay in Staines we could verify. We checked each against at least one listing, and we flag the ones with only a single source.

Sunday London Staines-upon-Thames Heathrow T5

This riverside hotel stands on Thames Street, Staines, TW18 4SJ. Older travel pages list the same building as the Mercure London Staines-upon-Thames. Booking sites now use the Sunday London name, so check the name on your confirmation.

Expedia lists check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:30 AM, with late check-out subject to availability. The hotel has 88 rooms and a 24-hour front desk. Listed features include two bars, a terrace and garden, the Riverside Restaurant, free in-room Wi-Fi, and a business center. Continental breakfast costs extra. Parking is limited and also costs extra.

Expedia also says the hotel accepts one pet per stay and offers free cribs. The Thames Path and the river are about a one-minute walk away. Staines station is about a nine-minute walk. Two sources list this property, but we found no phone number. Look one up on your booking site before you travel.

The Swan Hotel on The Hythe

The Swan Hotel is a riverside pub with rooms at The Hythe, Staines, TW18 3JB. Bestloved lists 15 rooms. A local pub listing gives the pub phone line as 01784 452494. Call the number to ask about rooms.

Expedia lists check-in from 3:00 PM to 9:30 PM with no after-hours arrival. Check-out ends at 11:00 AM. Listed features include a free English breakfast, a restaurant with outdoor dining, a bar, a terrace, a garden, free Wi-Fi, and pets welcome. The hotel has no parking, so plan to arrive by train or pay for a public car park.

The Thames Path and Staines Bridge sit about two minutes away on foot. This is the best pick if you want a pub atmosphere and a river view. A local pub listing gives opening hours of 11:30 to 23:00 Monday to Saturday, so light sleepers should ask for a quiet room.

The Boleyn Hotel for Free Parking

The Boleyn Hotel stands at 29 The Hythe, Staines, TW18 3JD. Expedia lists check-in from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Hotelscombined lists the hotel at about 0.4 miles from the town centre.

Listed features include a free full breakfast, free self parking, free in-room Wi-Fi, air conditioning, in-room safes, and a 24-hour front desk. Saffron, an Indian restaurant, serves guests on site. There is also a cafe and a terrace. Expedia says pets are not allowed.

Free parking makes this one of the easier hotels in Staines for drivers. Call ahead if you plan to arrive after 10:00 PM. We found no phone number we could confirm from two sources.

Premier Inn Staines-upon-Thames

Premier Inn lists a Staines-upon-Thames hotel with the phone number 0330 135 9034. The Premier Inn page does not give a street address in the text we read. The page names the Two Rivers Mustard Mill car park, postcode TW18 4WB, as the nearby parking option. Confirm the exact address on your booking.

The hotel page lists a Thyme Bar and Grill restaurant, free Wi-Fi, and accessible rooms with a lowered bathroom. Standard Double rooms list a king-size bed, tea and coffee facilities, a shower, and a desk. Premier Plus rooms add air conditioning and a mini-fridge. The page does not state check-in or check-out times, so confirm both when you book.

The hotel has no car park of its own. Guests use the Mustard Mill car park, about a three-minute walk away. The page says parking is free from 6 pm to 7 am. Charges apply at other times. Premier Inn names Thorpe Park, Legoland, and Windsor Castle among nearby places. We could confirm this hotel from the Premier Inn page only, so treat the amenity list as single-source.

Travelodge Staines on Hale Street

Travelodge Staines is a budget hotel at Hale Street, Two Rivers, Staines, TW18 4UW. Hotelscombined and Travelocity both list this address. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM. Check-out ends at noon, and express check-out is available.

Travelocity lists 65 guest rooms. Features include free Wi-Fi (Hotelscombined) or Wi-Fi in public areas for a fee (Travelocity), a 24-hour front desk, a lift, and family rooms. The two sources disagree on the Wi-Fi terms, so ask at booking. Travelocity says the hotel has no free parking, no free breakfast, no pool, and no airport shuttle.

Travelocity places the Thames Path about a three-minute walk away and Staines station about 13 minutes on foot. The Two Rivers shopping area is on the doorstep. This is the simplest choice if you want a plain, central room.

Travelodge London Feltham

Feltham is not Staines, but this Travelodge makes a fair backup when the Staines hotels are full. Travelodge lists the address as Res Centre, High Street, Feltham, TW13 4GU, and the phone as 08719 846319.

Check-in starts at 3 pm. Check-out ends at 12 noon. The hotel staffs reception around the clock. A Bar Cafe serves breakfast and evening meals. Double rooms have king-size beds. Parking is at a nearby car park with a guest rate. Feltham station is about a five-minute walk. Travelodge says Heathrow Airport is about 3.3 miles away, with no direct shuttle bus.

The old version of this post named a Travelodge Heathrow Central in Feltham. Our search placed the name in Hounslow, not Feltham. We replaced Heathrow Central with the Feltham Travelodge, which Travelodge confirms on its own site.

Riverside Hotels in Staines Versus Chain Hotels

Three of the Staines hotels sit on or near The Hythe and Thames Street, close to the river. These are the Sunday London hotel, the Swan, and the Boleyn. Guests choose them for the Thames Path outside the door.

The two chain hotels sit closer to the Two Rivers shopping area. Travelodge Staines is on Hale Street. Premier Inn uses the Mustard Mill car park beside Two Rivers. Expect a simple room, a clear price on the booking site, and a short walk to shops.

If you need a hotel near Heathrow, remember Staines is not on the airport doorstep. Travelocity lists Heathrow at about 15 to 21 minutes by car from Travelodge Staines. Expedia lists about 25 minutes by car from the Sunday London hotel. Allow extra time at busy periods.

The Stanwell Hotel Near Heathrow

The old post listed a Heathrow Lodge Hotel in Stanwell. We could not confirm a hotel by this name. We did find the Stanwell Hotel near Heathrow. The Caterer reports Splendid Hospitality Group bought the 53-bedroom hotel from Albion Capital. The report says the hotel would keep trading as the Stanwell until the group chose a brand. Booking sites also show the name Stanwell Hotel by Mercure.

The Stanwell is outside Staines town. If you need a base close to the airport, check its current name and terms by phone before you book.

Things to Do Near Your Staines Hotel

Most visitors pick a hotel near Staines for the river, the airport, or the nearby attractions. These are the ones we could source.

Spelthorne Museum is a volunteer-run museum on the first floor of the Library Hub in the Elmsleigh Centre, TW18 4QB. The museum opens Monday to Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, whenever the library is open. Exhibits cover prehistoric, Roman, and Georgian finds, a large 3D model of Roman Staines, Magna Carta, and Staines Lino. The page lists wheelchair access by lift.

The Thames Path runs through Staines. Visit South East England describes riverside walks linking the Memorial Gardens, Lammas Recreation Ground, and Laleham Park. The walk from Staines Bridge to Penton Lock is about four miles return. You can hire boats at the Little Green Boat Company on Lammas Recreation Ground. River trips link Staines with Windsor, Runnymede, and Hampton Court, but some cruises run only for pre-booked groups and only at set times. Check the operator before you plan around one.

Runnymede lies along the Thames Path downstream. The Thames Path site says Magna Carta was accepted by King John there. A National Trust lodge with the Magna Carta Tea Room sits at the site. The Thames Path site lists the tea room as open from 10 am to 3:30 pm, with a later close in summer. Confirm current hours before you go.

Several hotel listings name Thorpe Park, Legoland Windsor, Windsor Castle, and Hampton Court Palace as nearby attractions. We did not source distances to these places, so check travel times on a map. Visit South East England says a coach link runs from Staines station to Thorpe Park.

Getting to Staines and Getting Around

Visit South East England says Staines railway station has direct services to London Waterloo, Richmond, and Windsor. The bus station connects the town to nearby villages. Heathrow Airport is the closest major airport, and the hotel listings above show drive times of roughly 15 to 25 minutes depending on the source and traffic.

Parking varies by hotel. The Boleyn lists free self parking. The Sunday London hotel lists limited paid parking. The Swan lists no parking. Premier Inn guests use the Mustard Mill car park. Travelocity says Travelodge Staines has no free parking. Ask each hotel about its current parking terms before you drive.

Cheap Hotels in Staines: How to Choose

Travelers often search for cheap hotels in Staines. We do not quote prices, so we cannot rank hotels by cost. We can tell you what to compare.

Check what the rate includes. The Swan and the Boleyn list free breakfast. The Sunday London hotel lists breakfast as an extra. Travelocity says Travelodge Staines has no free breakfast. A rate with breakfast and parking can beat a lower rate charging for both.

Check the cancellation terms. Check the arrival window. The Swan stops check-in at 9:30 PM, and the Boleyn stops at 10:00 PM. If your flight or train lands late, choose a hotel with a 24-hour front desk. Sunday London, the Boleyn, Travelodge Staines, and Travelodge Feltham all list one.

Check the pet rules if you travel with a dog. The Swan and the Sunday London hotel list pets as welcome, with a limit of one pet at Sunday London. The Boleyn says no pets. Travelodge lists pet-friendly rooms at Feltham and Hotelscombined lists pets on request at Staines.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked the hotel names, addresses, check-in times, and amenities against booking-site listings, the Premier Inn and Travelodge sites, and hotel trade press. We checked attractions against the Spelthorne Museum site, the Thames Path site, and Visit South East England.

We could not confirm any room rates. We could not find a phone number for the Sunday London hotel or the Boleyn Hotel. We could not read a street address or check-in times on the Premier Inn page. We could not confirm the old Heathrow Lodge Hotel at all. Hotel details change, so confirm everything by phone before you travel.

We also did not state any drive times or walking times we could not source. Every time we give comes from a named listing.
