Undercover hotel, Heathrow

[Elroy Blue]

Been looking to book a hotel and car parking near Heathrow in July. A search of the net brought up the 'undercover' hotel. Basically, you don't know which hotel you're getting until you've booked. They're supposedly four star at a massively discounted rate.
Anybody ever booked one of these and did they live up to the promises

Sometimes, if you copy the hotel description into a search engine, it will reveal the website for the secret hotel.

Also reading the reviews can help you identify it

When I travelled to Sydney frequently in my last role, I got sick of the company paying $350+ / night for a decent hotel, so used to book using the Aussie equivalent. Every time, I ended up staying in exactly the same hotel that I would have paid full price for, for less that £150 / night.

I'm a big fan of these undercover sites and as long as you are strict on your * rating and desired area, you can't really go too far wrong, IMO.

Yes, I ended up in a decent 4* hotel, off-airport, but there are buses that service all the hotels frequently throughout the day.
