It's accessible from Heathrow on both the Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line. But the fare on the Piccadilly line is less than half of the fare on the Elisabeth line. The ride is a few minutes longer that way but well worth the savings in my opinion. The hotel is about an 8 minute walk from the Russell Square station
