6.0 Okay
The service at the bar was slow. While staying there a group of guess we’re running around with their kids for over an hour through the bar, lobby and elevator. The staff did not stop these guest, it was very off putting.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Quicker check-in, implement contactless and better lifts
R
10.0 Wonderful
It is a very beautiful hotel the staff are trying hard to make the stay great. They are showing a French flair.
J
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Gym and Spa was excellent. Obviously easy for plane flights just a gentle stroll, but it worked well for an event in central London also. Caught the last Heathrow Express train at 11.25 in my room by 11.55.
B
6.0 Okay
Pros:The room, the bed and the bathroom were all comfortable and to expectations.
Cons:We had flown in from Hong Kong and were transiting overnight at Heathrow with an 8.20am departure the next morning. After check in at approximately 7.15pm, we stopped by the restaurant to make a dinner reservation for 7.45pm. Even though we could see that the restaurant has many empty tables, we were curtly advised by the restaurant staff that the earliest we could book would be 8.30pm. Given we were traveling with young children and we were all tired after our flights, we elected to go for room service. We ordered room service of 2 burgers, 1 kids fish and chips and 1 kids chicken and chips at 7.45pm. We were advised to allow 40 minutes (for a meal that would take 10 minutes to prepare). After waiting 45 minutes, we called to enquire of the status of our meal. We were told it would be another 15 minutes. They hastily cooked our meal and it arrived at 8.50pm. The children were mostly asleep by this stage and we were no longer interested either. The Pinot Noir was undrinkable. Staff were apologetic. We were not charged for our dinner. The whole experience gave the impression that the hotel trades on its location as the only hotel located at terminal 5.
R
8.8 Very good
Pros:Room was super clean and bed very comfortable. We checked in early and our room was not yet ready, but they were kind enough to give us a different room which was a kind of a downgrade, but we gladly accepted it as all we wanted was to go to sleep, after a night flight.
Cons:This comment is for Travelocity’s attention: the hotel would not recognize my Accor Hotel membership and would not credit my Accor account for this stay. Neither were they willing to give us access to the Club which is a courtesy they normally give Accor members. All of this was because we did not book directly with Accor, rather through Travelocity. We understand that this is Accor’s policy and not Travelocity’s fault, but, if you want to keep us as customer, can’t you work with the hotel chain to remedy this shortcoming?
K
10.0 Wonderful
Cons:Keep up the good work
B
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Ideal for early morning flight from Heathrow Terminal 5. Did not use it but BA check-in & bag drop would be very convenient if travelling with hold baggage.
Cons:Not a lot!
R
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Breakfast was great and had plenty of options for gluten free and dairy free.
O

Cons:Entertainment facilities
