If you had an early flight from Terminal 3 (not 2 like my username) which hotel would you stay in the night before?

Thinking cost and ease of access

Sofitel at T5. The train to T3 is very easy and quick, and the rooms are very comfortable and spacious.

We usually stay at the Sofitel and take the train but we recently stayed at the Hilton. It was cheaper, and connected to T3 so no need to take the train. It was clean and comfortable.

Hilton Garden Inn. Can’t remember if it’s in T2 or T3 but it’s walkable to either. Don’t confuse it with the Hilton that is not in the terminal.

the sofitel is good but it depends what time your flight is. I’m assuming because you’re staying overnight it’ll be early.

Last time I stayed at one of the IBIS hotels and got an uber. The room was about £50 and the uber was £15

I’ve stayed here too, great hotel and so convenient. Has a nice runway view bar too.

If budget is no issue then Sofitel T5 and then train to T3.

if you want walkable to T3 then Hilton Garden Inn T2/T3.

Budget friendly option Premier Inn Bath Road then easy bus journey to T3 ( either Red bus 105 or 111 from memory, about £2 or the Hoppa for more)
