SOFITEL HOTEL, HEATHROW TERMINAL 5 - TOUR & REVIEW
Loved the review and you both make an adorable couple. I’m due to stay at this place in January. I can’t help but notice why was the property so empty
@@PunjabiKudiUK thank you for you lovely comments and thank you for watching! The hotel was quiet during the week, but it was extremely busy as weekends. They hire the sunbeds out for day visitors so they get very full quickly. Have a wonderful time when you go and let us know how you get on!
Visited the lounge in November of 2024, easy access with Priority Pass. Decent and cozy selection of food and drinks.
@@antoniomontana1975 it’s definitely a great little lounge. We hope you had a great trip! Thanks for watching 👍
Is this hotel child friendly, many thanks
So it's possible to enter the Lounge if you're flying business or higher (or pay the £40) no matter what Airline? Happy flying & safe travels!
@@jamiedee2409 yes I believe so. We were certainly able to just walk in and use our priority passes with no issues. Enjoy your travels!
I watched your TH-cam video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzed Your TH-cam channel and I found TH-cam video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going viral and views are not increasing. Thank You
@@sowrovsorker19 thanks for the feedback. We just do this for fun. Not worried about views at all. But thanks for the feedback and for watching 😀
Super.
@@GG-rq2cv Thank you! Thanks for watching 🙏
we stayied in this hotel in march on arriving the TV was broke the sink plug was broke and all week it rained we asked the hotel 4 times to put the heating on and they didnt. i had to wear my jeans and bobble hat in bed. instead of them putting the heating on we was offered extra blankets ... my mum is 84 years old and it wasnt plesant for her the cold.... in the breakfast and dinner room there is a microwave to heat your food up as there is no hot plates.. we had to phone down almost every day for our room to be cleaned.... it was not a plesant stay i doubt we will stay in this hotel again they are just out to give you as less as possible to get profit ,, used to be able to control the heating in the room from the thermostat but now they put no heating on at all ,, in the winter they put heating on at 3am in the morning when it should be on all night.....
@@DavesMonitor Oh no, it sounds like you had a really bad experience. It’s always so disappointing when a holiday doesn’t live up to expectations. We’ve definitely had a few bad experiences over the years. Sorry to hear this and we hope your future trips are much better! Do you have any other holidays planned?
❤
@@AltagraciasuarezAltagracia1234 ❤️
Can't wait to see how your project turns out - it sounds like you have similar ideas as we've had with how to restore your property and layout :) We're a few years in now.... Mañana, as they say :)
@@metcalfemakeovers thanks guys! We’ve actually completed it (except for the bathroom) Check out our later blog for updates. We will enjoy following yours
What a great Vlog of your time in Marrakech. Get you with the dancing 💃 The video quality is magnificent 👌 really highlights the beautiful architecture of Morrocco, and captures the energy of the market at night, makes me desperate to go back soon 🥰 Hoping it's the first of your many trips to Morocco 🇲🇦
@@Lizzybeth2012 thank you so much! We absolutely loved Marrakesh. What a place and thank you so much for your incredible recommendations. We absolutely loved them xx
So beautiful vidio i like morroco
Thank you! Yes we loved it there. It was so special xx
Thank you. I've never been to Morocco, but if I ever do, this looks a fabulous place to stay.
@@mariepudney5310 thank you for watching! It was absolutely beautiful. We will definitely go back xx 😘❤️🙏
We love Marrakech, we spent a week there 6 years ago. Thanks for showing us around again. Bryan and Dawn Mr&Mrs_H_on_tour
@@MrMrs_H_on_tour isn’t it a fabulous place! Thanks for watching darlings. We loved this trip xx ❤️
I'm on my 31st stay there next January, so they mist be doing something right.
Wow 31st! That’s amazing! 😍
@@TheWBsTravelDiary I'm expecting a wing to be named after me soon
I got my priority pass from my gold American express card. Is it free to access the lounge?
@@Dan1418 I think Amex gold give you a few free visits but it’s probably best to check with them
Thank you. Great video. I was looking for a decent Hotel in Torremolinos, and now I know, it is not the Melia.
@@chrisk8805 it’s such a shame when the hotel ends up disappointing. You never know you may have a different experience to us. Enjoy your holiday!
Why its said COMPLEMENTARY IF MOST HAVE TO PAY $50 per person?
@@gggonzalez5966 Well you obviously have to pay for admission but once you’re in everything is then free. We are priority pass members so even our admission is complimentary.
Beautiful. Where is your gorgeous floaty garden sun shade from please? I can’t find anything similar when I google search.
@@LeaManser thank you. It’s simply a white camouflage netting!

@@LeaManser thank you! It’s simply a white camouflage netting!
hallo, great video! is this hotel good for solo travel, 3 days during christmas, without level option? I always wanted see Spanish Christmas and this year i can do it but i dont know or Melia is ok for me, i would like to also take a little bit rest :) thx in advance
@@dusinka8660 hi! Thanks for watching. Yes I’m sure this hotel would be a great base for you as a solo traveller. It’s in a lovely location and has lots of amenities. Christmas will be lovely. We are in Mexico for Christmas too! Enjoy your trip!! 🎄
@@TheWBsTravelDiary thank you very much! You too , have a great time 🌹☺️
Great vid. Well done. Shame about the footie.🤐
@@GG-rq2cv thank you so much! We love that you’re here and came to Mallorca with us! Aww yes the footies result was sad but we were definitely in the best place to see Spain win! 🥇❤️🇪🇸
Summer is a sea time 😍
@@welcome_Moscow_walks absolutely! We hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching ❤️
Heading there soon and your video is very helpful 🍺
@@nstim5212 oh fantastic. Have a great trip! Thanks for watching x
perfect timing! thanks for this - we are going soon so this was very useful
@@dsdsdsdsdsds3139 fabulous! Thanks for watching and have the best holiday ❤️
Ooh.. not quite what's expected at a Melia hotel. Disappointing. Video is lovely, though!
@@mariepudney5310 You’re so right. Hopefully it was just a one off. Thank for watching. We appreciate you for it ❤️❤️
I agree with all your points. Service really disappointing.
@@diahannhughes7121 yes they definitely have a few issues to iron out!
5.50 for a pint seems steep! What was the price of a pint outside of the resort?
Sorry but I don’t know, we didn’t have any pints. We found the hotel and resort to be very reasonable overall. 👍
@@TheWBsTravelDiary no pints on holiday 😢
@@BishBosh24 lol don’t worry there were plenty of lovely drinks had! 🍷
drinks in the hotel are well over priced 1 or 2 euros more than outside the hotel for drinks
@@DavesMonitor we found the drinks reasonable for a hotel bar, but then we are from London so everywhere seems reasonable to us I think! Lol 😂
Spring in the Port is my favourite time.
It is so gorgeous isn’t it. Just perfect x
Looks a great hotel.
Absolutely! It’s such fun there. It will definitely our regular place to stay I. Puerto Banus. Thanks for watching! X
Great video.
@@GG-rq2cv thanks so much for watching! We appreciate you ❤️🙏
I don't think I would want to stay there. I travel alone, and at 72 I don't think I would like to have to deal with this craziness and "deception".
@@galaxy98765 what do you mean by craziness and deception? Sorry not sure we follow!
@@TheWBsTravelDiary Maybe I used a poor choice of words, but I just meant I would find it hard to stand in the long queue, the chaos you described, paying for a sea view and not really getting much of one, the dirty sunbeds, having to speak to the manager to be able to sit at a table and eat, and being told they are reserved, and then given only one hour to sit at that table, and still seeing all those tables with no one sitting at them. etc. I can't stand up anymore for long periods of time. Just last year, I stayed in twelve different hotels in the UK, and I guess they all spoiled me.. They were all better than perfect. You loved my comment on the video you made about the Sofitel Hotel. I am normally a very patient and accepting and appreciative type of person. You are much younger than I am, and you aren't travelling alone, so I wouldn't expect you to understand totally how it is for older people who have trouble standing. Like I said, the hotels in the UK last year spoiled me. No big deal ..... never mind.
@@galaxy98765 ah I get it now. Sorry sometimes it’s difficult to understand the comments that we receive. The hotel was lovely, and we would still recommend it, but there’s definitely room for improvement. Thank you for coming back and watching a second video of ours. We’re grateful to have you here and hope you stick around for some more. Enjoy your travels going forward ❤️
Do they have soft drinks?
@@cat-ex1kt yes a very wide selection 👍
Great, helpful video - thank you. We are staying 'The Level' there in a couple of weeks for a few days. Looks good.
@@stuartgreen7087 ah fantastic! You will have a great time. The team here are fabulous. Enjoy your holiday and thanks for watching! ❤️🙏
A lovely video, thank you. We've stayed in several Melia hotels, always found them to be very good .
@@mariepudney5310 Thanks so much for watching hon! We agree, what a lovely brand. All of the Melia’s we’ve been to in Spain have been gorgeous. ❤️😍
Max was here
@@maxb5957 hi max! Nice to see you 👋
Nice mum moves! Place looks spectacular.
Oh it was such a fun place! So, so recommended!!!
Nice.
Thanks for your support! 🎉😊
Place looks lovely.
It really is. It comes highly recommended by us x
Your front doors are magnificent.
@@GG-rq2cv thank you so much. They are so gorgeous. We love them 😍
Impressive
@@GG-rq2cv thank you so much!! 😍
Hey guys nice vid! We are coming to the Taj in a few weeks and doing half board as well. Does this mean we can choose where we have dinner? As we thought maybe it was just the buffet.......
@@robhogger3872 Thanks for watching! You can use the a la Carte restaurants but some of them have an additional charge on certain items. Enjoy your holiday!
We stayed there just after its refurb and enjoyed our stay. Lovely staff and we really enjoyed the food. The only thing that spoils this hotel for us; especially at the higher rates you pay, is the lack of rooms with balconies. We were lucky to be moved to one but our friends were stuck in a smaller room at the back of the hotel. Imo they should try to build more balconies, especially at the front as it’s an expensive hotel. Not much fun if you just wanted to be able to sit on your balcony to eat and drink whilst enjoying the sea view.
@@hos65 We were lucky as we had a balcony room which was a large terrace, but we definitely felt the rooms could do with being a bit bigger!
Thank you for this toor im going to this camping in 2 weeks now i know what there is , i am just wondering how does the premium part look like is it also a disapintment like the other houses?
@@mathias_debadjas have a lovely holiday. Sorry I don’t know about the premium rooms as we were in the touring section
Stayed in this room ❤
We hope you enjoyed just as much as we did!
Stayed here a few times! Lovely hotel and pool which over looks the grand harbour!
It’s gorgeous isn’t it. Thanks for watching Kevin 👍
Noisy background! Cant even hear her!
Thanks for watching! Your right it was very noisy in there 👍
I stayed here just a few days before you filmed this, and I loved it too! Twice in April of 2023, one of those times for two nights to adjust to UK time. I also loved their breakfasts ..... so much delicious food! ❤❤❤
Oh fantastic! We’re so glad you enjoyed it too! Safe travels x
Hi. Which room is this? Looking at this hotel and there were some not too pleasant review.
Hello. This was one of their suites. It was absolutely beautiful and we had no issues at all. Have a lovely time if you book
can anyone tell me does the MFC adult s only pool have easy access steps into the water, not just the rung ladders.
Hi Susan, I can’t be sure but I don’t remember it having easy access steps. If I remember correctly it was a ladder.
@@TheWBsTravelDiary Thanks for replying, one more question, I noticed 2 other pools had easy access steps, how far are they to walk from the adult only area as I have some limited walking issues.
@@susanmiles8192 hi Susan. The complex is very large and there are multiple pools so I wouldn’t know the answer to this sorry. Probably best to email the hotel directly 🙏
@@TheWBsTravelDiary ok thanks for replying.
Thanks for showing me because I’m travelling through Luton and I have the lounge so great because I can see the experience
We’re glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great time in the lounge and enjoy your trip 🙏
Going here in three weeks - you've made me look forward to it even more!!!!!
Fantastic! Thanks for watching and have an amazing holiday 🤩❤️🥰
