Sofitel London Heathrow

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in staff were pleasant and efficient. Drinks and snacks in the bar were tasty. The room was quiet and comfortable. "

Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel that has had a facelift / updating. When you first walk in you definitely smell all of the air fresheners that they have going all the time. Not unpleasant but if you have issues with scents, this will give you a headache. - Checking in is a very slow process. Bring your patience because you're going to need it. - The lifts are slow and are handling a lot of traffic. More patience here. - The doorways to the rooms are oddly small/compact. I had issues bringing a very standard-sized (not large) piece of luggage through it. - The bed was too soft in my opinion. I don't know if it's just sagging due to age or if they actually bought mattresses that sink like that but it definitely wasn't memory foam. - Water pressure in shower was awesome and had plenty of hot water. - Had dinner in their restaurant and my main (Grilled Chicken with Creamy Tarragon Sauce) was exceptional. However, my Lemon Creme Brulee had to be sent back as it was the consistency of soup. - Please know that they will automatically add a 12.5% service charge on the bill. This is OPTIONAL but they do not tell you that. *They provide you with a bus schedule to get to the airport. It is 6.8 pounds per person, but does come to the front door. However, if you go to the bus stop just down the street a few hundred feet, you can ride the 423 (if going to Terminal 5) for 1.75 pounds. I'm not certain why they are promoting a bus that is close to 4X the cost of a normal one."

Sunday London Staines-upon-Thames Heathrow T5

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is beautiful, the location is great! The booking says there is a restaurant on premises. However they are having staffing problems and the restaurant is closed. Only the bar was open. We were exhausted from our trip and did not really want to go out again but we had to if we wanted to eat before bed time. Also, they are very strict at sticking to the 3pm check in. We arrived early and checked out bags so we could explore. But we were also exhausted. We sat in the lobby for over 2 hrs waiting to be checked in. But it seemed apparent that they we not waiting for guest to leave or rooms to be cleaned. By the 3pm check in time there was a line of ppl waiting to check in and she checked everyone in one at a time. This line could have been prevented by allowing a few guest to check in early."
