I have stayed at the LHR Sofitel many many times. The property is well maintained and the location is ideal for travelling through LHR with one or more night stays. I was somewhat disappointed this visit as I had booked a room with two double beds and instead they gave us a room with one queen bed and one twin roll a bed which had cramped the space in the room to the extent that the comfy chair, ottoman and the coffee table had to be shoved under the work desk. We had to request the removal of the roll a bed which they did. Nevertheless I was disappointed to see Sofitel not giving me the room that I had actually booked.

Staff were indifferent - room was dirty no lights until someone came up to explain how to use them. The elevator was not explained. The staff did not want to listen to my concerns and just blew me off! I would like a refund!!!!!! How do I take care of getting the refund started. In the meantime I will contact the credit card company to dispute the entire charge for this one night stay.

Convenient to gate 5 at Heathrow, but bathroom was disappointing. Shower door scraped floor and could not be closed, which let water into bathroom, as there is no basin to catch water. There was no soap at the sink. They had put shampoo or other container, with broken spout. The rooms have a strange lighting system. You have to insert your card and control most lights with a central controller. The problem… you can’t read the controller in the dark. So finding the bathroom light button on a little control panel, which requires insertion of the security card, is inconvenient and potentially dangerous at night.

I arrived at 11 pm to an empty airport terminal. There were no signs directing me to the hotel and no one to ask. I had gone online ahead of time and saw video or would have had no clue at all. A stock boy at store directed me to a lift that went no where. Another person also searching for the hotel and I finally found the right lift (with first mention of hotel we had seen). I had requested a room on ground floor and/or near lobby. Was given accessible room on third floor with strange and unnecessary set up. No instruction at all for lightening or other necessities. Asked for new room and was given an upgrade which was much appreciated. The hotel tries to be very upscale modern, but lacks instruction on the basics that accompany that. Just help finding the hotel would be a good start.

Appalling check-in facility, late in the evening huge lines not enough reception staff, and lack of instructions once you finally reach check-in. Also saw a customer move to the front of the queue as he offered to upgrade the room he had booked.
