Sofitel Heathrow
Has anyone got this hotel recently on lastminute.com. If so what is the description?. I am currently seeing £103 for my date discounted from the full price showing on sofitel.com. Worth the risk?
Many thanks
Many thanks

Perhaps it's just me but I'm convinced the mattresses are different. I used to love staying here because I would just have the most amazing sleeps. Last 2 times in 2019 I've had awful sleeps. The mattress is ridiculously soft. Since then I have been using the T4 Hilton

Convenience if you have mobility issues I can see the reasons to be closer to the airport. Also having a larger group of people travelling with you, I can see the benefits of walking across the car park, instead of getting buses or cars to the airport.

5 minute walk in the morning? Luggage check in at the hotel? Fabulous bathroom with a bath? Bar you might want to sit in and have a drink? Free drink vouchers for accor loyalty holders? Collect points which equate to cash off future bookings? A safe the the room? M&S food hall a quick hop away?

Agree 100% that the Sofitel is an excellent place to stay but for clarity those benefits might not be honoured if booking via a third party which is what the OP is proposing.
