I was upgraded to a junior suite in the end, room 279. The rollaway was already in the room when I got there. So it ended well..

I've stayed at many Hilton properties around Heathrow and this is the best! Preferred over the double tree (too far away), Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow (older looking rooms)... This has the best breakfast of them all, parking is plentiful, and executive lounge for dinner time is one of the best... The staff is friendly, and goes out of their way to help (e.g., with luggage)... I've stayed here when leaving leaving from T3 and arriving from T5, but it is convenient to T4...

At breakfast I saw no fruit juices at all on offer...just waiting staff going round pouring concentrated orange juice from a jug. Really petty way to save money.

Perhaps you missed them? They've always had at least 3-4 but they're in an odd spot. Granted it's been two months since I've been.

It's possible...although I did look around everywhere I could.
The waiting staff with the large plastic jugs of concentrated orange juice made it seem that was all that was on offer (in terms of juice).
It's not a huge deal....but this is a 4 star hotel charging over 100 GBP to 150 GBP per night, so I don't expect this kind of cost cutting.

Staff go around with orange juice. There are jugs of juices at a bar in the table area, along the back of the bread wall of the buffet. If you are at a table, get up and walk towards the food. You should see it in front and in the center.

This. The staff are just trying to be helpful, you can also serve yourself juice.

Like most, especially high rise, hotels around the world, those with air conditioning do not have opening windows. Those with balconies are different and the a/c will cut off when opening the balcony doors. If this is important to you, there is actually a thread and WIKI on hotels in Europe which list Hiltons which have opening windows and doors. See: Hilton properties in Europe with opening windows

Hi,
Will be staying here for one night next week ( have not been here for a few years as normally stay at the Hilton T5 ) as i have a t3 flight in the morning.
Was tempted to stay at the HGI T2/3 but they want GBP142 against GBP 97 for the T4 hilton ( will put up with the extra distance for a better room and EL access as well as a pool). Will post coments on my return.
Regards
TBS

TBS, always enjoy your TRs. Look forward to it. Had another good visit a few weeks ago. Solid, as always. Slight disappointment they've stopped stocking Kronenburg and Becks in the EL. Stella and Budweiser, only (and Becks Blue).
