First things first this isn't really a Sofitel. The beds, the furnishings and the details are not Sofitel standard, and the SPA is chargeable, which I have experienced in other Sofitel s here.
You can get to the hotel directly from Terminal 5 which is perfect if you fly BA. The staff is the only thing that really gives the Sofitel feeling, very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and functional. The hotel is more of an anonymous box but quiet and convenient if you have an early flight.
