We needed to stay near Heathrow Airport prior to catching a flight the following day. The location of the Sofitel made it particularly convenient for a T5 departure. The fact that we could walk to the terminal from the hotel meant we could relax, knowing that it would take only 10 minutes to get to the check-in and no waiting around for buses or expensive taxis.
The room was as described with all the amenities and the bed and linen were most comfortable. Although right on the airport, there was no aircraft noise in the room. We didn't eat at the hotel, so I can't comment on the food.
The public areas looked very pleasant.
