Le Club Accorhotels - Sofitel LHR and LGW - Free internet

It's about time. Wifi is now free at LHR and at LGW you get free limited bandwidth or can pay £15 for the premium internet package.

LHR are advertising limited bandwidth internet for free on their web site, but that wasn't how it was worded in their email.

All hotels should offer this for free, and not just try and make money out of people who stay on expenses.

Now how about all the other Sofitels?

Be interesting to know how they are limiting it at LGW (and possible LHR) and is it so bad you stump up the £15?

At the LHR Sofitel earlier this week, with the hotel clearly far from empty, the free bandwith was perfectly adequate -- fast and responsive at all times as Mrs IMH and I (via Wi-Fi) visited numerous websites and sent and received several large emails with attachments.

We didn't try any videoconferencing or download any films, which is where I'd expect any bandwidth limitations to become painful, but based on our limited use this was a far better internet connection than we've experienced in most hotels. ^^
