Taxi or tube from Heathrow to Hyde Park Ramada?

Question

Looking for advice on how to get from Heathrow to Hyde Park Ramada. Does anyone know if there is a shuttle or the approx. cost of a taxi? Tube? Bus? First time to London - can't wait!

Answer 1

this comes down to your budget. The best way to do this would be a minicab pre-booked which cost around £30. The nearest station is Queensway and you can get from heathrow to Queensway for £4 on the utbe. Queensway is walking distance to the hotel if you dont have too much luggage.

Answer 2

I would take the Heathrow Express.

When you arrive at the airport, just follow the signs for Public Transportation.. there will be signs for the tube and for the Express.The Express takes you into the center of London in about 15 minutes.. its direct, no stops.

You arrive at Paddington Train Station. And from there you can either:

walk outside and take a short cab ride to your hotel, if you have alot of luggage.

OR, if you can handle your luggage-- follow the signs to the Underground -- which will take you to the Paddington TUBE Station. From there, take the District/Central tube line to the Notting Hill station (which is very close, it should be the very first stop)

- And also to note-- I definitely recommend you use the Tube alot while you're in London. Its verry efficient. And buy an Oyster card right away (they come in different daily increments).. it is "pre-paying" and allows you unlimited use on those days.

Check out the links below.  The second one has a great feature-- Journey Planner. You can enter in your destinations and it will tell you the different options for getting there, how long it'll take, if there will be stairs, etc....

Have a great time in London.. i love it there. I fell in love w/ that city. My first trip was March 2005.. and then I went back June/July 2005, November 2005 and then again.. Sept 2006. I'm kinda addicted and am missing it!!

Answer 3

Unless you have a vast amount of luggage, I wouldn't take a taxi.

If you are a party of two or three, it's more sensible.

Ramada Hyde Park is about 400 yards east of Notting Hill Gate station.  That's the cheap option.  Queensway tube station is a bit closer, but you'd have to make another change to get there.

Piccadilly line, change at Earl's Court to the District line: it's all well signed and colour coded.

The intermediate option is a shuttle bus.
