 | Sheraton Heathrow Hotel: An hotel close to the airport...
|  |

There are two Sheraton hotels near the airport, the Sheraton Heathrow (this one) and the Sheraton Skyline (bigger, swimming pool, a bit more expensive)! I'm not too sure why, they are just 2-3 miles away from each other, it could be quite confusing!
I had read a couple of bad reviews about the hotel and was not too sure what to expect for the 3 nights I had to spend there. At the end there are good and bad things to say...
You definitely wouldn't want to stay here for the nice architecture or for the location. Yes, it's close to the airport but that's pretty much it, it's right in the middle of nowhere!
I've been pleasantly surprised by the size and the quality of the room/bathroom. Even if you still have to take your shower in a bath tub, it was really nice for UK standards!
The bed was quite comfortable and the hotel was relatively quiet. I managed to get quite some good sleep!
Thanks god, I'm not easily cold, it was freezing outside and it looks like the airco system was struggling to heat up such a big room (high ceiling)! Was it due to to the high oil price, when I arrived in the room quite late in the evening, the airco was shut down and the room was freezing cold! No other choice than setting the system to the maximum and having the feeling of sleeping close to a plane reactor!
The staff was nice and helpful. There was even a shuttle organized to my company office! Nice service but if it was quite easy to take the shuttle in the morning, coming back in the evening was a real nightmare! I never managed to do it!! If you propose a service, at least do it properly or not at all... next time I'll stay at the Skyline, just for that single reason!
Internet access was available (both wired and wireless) but on the expensive side (iPass not available), the quality was ok, only a few hiccups...
The restaurant is pretty much the only place where you can have food in the area (well there is a McDonald in front of the hotel but it doesn't count as decent food). The menu was relatively basic, the price relatively decent (less than 20GBP/dish) and I enjoyed the food. I particularly appreciated the staff of the restaurant, they were smiling all the time and really looked like they enjoyed their job! That's not often the case and simply is priceless!
The English breakfast (15GBP) was not exceptional but just what you could expect from this kind of hotel.
There is a shuttle from/to the airport: the 'hoppa bus' (4GBP), it takes around 15-20 minutes for terminal 1 (H4 route).
