“Ultra modern”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

The hotel is slightly tricky to find unless you're very familiar with the airport. I went to T5 arrivals level where there is one sign near the tube exit and UK arrivals though you still have to go up one floor in the lift and then follow the walkway round.

Not checking in until quite late at night, I really appreciated being within walking distance of the terminal and not having to worry about shuttle buses etc.

The hotel has a stunning, ultra modern design with shops etc. along the central walkway. Breakfast on the ground floor was also extensive and high quality.

“Excellent stopover at Heathrow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

After a busy festive period at home we had a stopover at Heathrow on our return journey overseas. The Sofitel was a real tonic. We cannot fault any aspect of our one night stay. The food was excellent and the breakfast buffet was the most extensive and varied we have enjoyed on our travels. Having stayed once we have no hesitation in highly recommending this hotel to others. We will build a stopover at the Heathrow Sofitel in to future trips to and from the UK.

“Great place to stay before leaving London”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

SOFITEL LHR was a great place to stay - before our departing flights from London.

The Sofitel enabled us to arrive at the airport from downtown the night before our flights - so we didn't have to worry about traffic if taking a cab. Ironically the day we were travelling cabs and private hire cars were just about the only options to the airport. The Tube was on strike - and the Heathrow Express was undergoing renovation.

The Sofitel is ideally located in Terminal 5 - with easy to use free trains to Terminals 1 - 3 and 4.

If you book the room with a free breakfast option the breakfast was wonderful! Many selections. Cooked to order eggs, omelets etc. It was very nicely stocked - and everything looked great. Huge buffett.

The room we had was spacious - and modern - and totally clean. We had an ajoining room with our children - also nice to have had.

The bar was nice to stop by the eve we arrived for a beer - and snacks.

The price for the Sofitel at Heathrow is less than staying downtown - so if the day you are leaving will be a short day - head on out to the airport the night before - so you can be relaxed waiting for your flight instead of fighting travel on a travel day. We ate dinner in downtown before heading out to the airport.

Room Tip: I don't know what category room we had - but it was probably one up from the cheapest. We had g...
