  • Well that didn’t go to plan! I was hoping for a great night’s rest before my flight to Bali from London and after a very promising start at the Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow Terminal 4, an issue with the hotel’s systems led to multiple fire alarms and 2 evacuations! Here’s the low down on the hotel’s location, arrival, room tour, bars, food and the dreaded night time interruptions and evacuations!

    Good things can sometimes come from bad. I watched this video because the hotel is considered a "liminal space", I was not expecting the alarm situation. Made it even more interesting! 😆

      It definitely didn’t feel interesting when trying to sleep ahead of an 18 hour flight 😂

    Oh wow! Thanks for another great video, Jamie - that's not the experience you want the night before a 19+ hour flight! We had one evacuation the night before our flight to Orlando last year and that we bad enough, but 4 alarms?! Hopefully some lessons have been learned!
    Other than that it looks like a good hotel!

    A few H&S issues I think. I couldn’t get over queuing down a fire escape staircase. That was crazy. On a lighter note you rocked the category of……a night of a thousand Kylies 😂. The Bali trip looks amazing too.
    Neil says thanks about the accessibility items you put in the vlogs too. It helps him out a lot. Safe trip home.

    Drama!!!! It looks a lovely room but I swear to god someone would have died by that 2nd alarm. (Front desk person probably!). You worked the foil sheet though. Have fun in Bali 🍻

    Hello sir, I'm having a 19 hour LHR connection flights both at T5. I reserved at this HIX T4. Do you recommend switching terminal first then go through passport point?

    Why would one pay for a hoppa. It's free to move between terminals on the tube/ Elizabeth line. Particularly when it'he station is 3min walk from the hotel.

    Disgraceful - hotel owners IHG have been on my permanent boycott list for the last two years following their disgusting treatment of staff and locals (members of their Holiday Inn leisure club, wedding bookers etc) when they took the Home Office 30 pieces of Home Office silver nearly 2 years ago.
