Nice spa area, but think they need more showers close to the sauna/steam room. There is one area only, with a bucket of water, which once used, takes some time to refill. Personally I need to come straight out of the sauna/steam room and step into a cold shower, not make my way to the changing room, as once I have got there the opportunity to make use of the cold shower has passed.

I booked the 3 hour spa break for two. I would definitely recommend it. I went on a weekday and we had it almost to ourselves. Everywhere was spotless and the staff were friendly and professional.

It's a great spa! And great gym I would say one of the best in Heathrow. Very clean. Changing rooms are a little small but that didn't spoil my day at all, and everywhere in the spa there is a very refreshing smell. I would also like to see more seats in the relaxation area though, there is only a few but there is more than enough in the spa area which is good. I have rebooked already as my treatment was out of this world! And from a hotel - that is very hard to find a good therapist. Thank you SOFITEL!

The spa itself is very nice. Well-appointed and attractive. The relaxation room was quite small with only tea and coffee making facilities via a noisy and temperamental machine. There was a nice array of teas though.
I had booked a massage and a facial.
The technician was pleasant and asked some good preliminary questions. The room was lovely and spacious. The massage itself was mediocre and could have been much better. The treatment and touch of parts of my body would suddenly end abruptly and there was repeated bumpings into the massage table. Technically, she seemed quite inexperienced and I felt no benefits at all from my 50 minutes on the table.
The facial was a huge disappointment. I have regular facials and have done for 15 years. This would tie for the worst facial I've had. The technician twice dripped oil into the sides of my mouth and when her hands would massage cream in the eye area she would go well below the brow bone resulting in various creams and oil leaking into my eye. When she massaged cream into my neck area, she pushed so hard on my throat I almost gagged. Her technique was inconsistent and greatly lacking in skill. Lastly, my hair was not tied back with a band at the start of the facial so my hair was covered in oil.
She was a sweet girl, very friendly but clearly someone with either very limited training or just not experienced enough.
Overall a huge disappointment for a spa in a hotel of this caliber.

I took my wife there and she enjoyed herself very much. Treatments was very good we both had Sonia as We couldn't have our treatments at the same time as we Booked in last minute. Steam room and suana are heated well which is one of the main reason I went. My wife really enjoyed the relaxation room but it did get busy so I would say it needs more sofas in there, but there are some on hydro pool too. I booked the buy one get one free deal and it was a very good deal - even though the deal has gone I am buying another voucher for my wife as a Christmas present. Thank you Sofitel!

What a great Hotel with a great spa, and when I was inside I completely forgot that I was at an airport hotel! I had the 90minute massage and worth every penny I loved the treatment so much I have already rebooked.

My spa experience was amazing! I was welcome by Leonyee with a smile on her face and was happy to help. There was a beautiful smell in the reception area I wish I asked what it was, automatically I felt relaxed. The spa provided me robes, towels and slipper for my day. My therapist uminder was perfect, and having a background in fitness and sport therapy I am normally very hard on other therapist massage but it was by far the best! I was recommend you visiting this spa!

This spa is wonderful! Hidden away in Terminal 5, and great little me time. I have the 25 minute massage by Cheryl which was great! Very skillful, I have never felt so relaxed. The Spa has a sauna, steam room and a very large whirlpool, and a few lounges around. If I had to mention one thing, there relaxation room needs some more chairs. Thank you Sofitel!

My spa day was perfect, peaceful and pure blissful and not to forget about the massage. Sonia managed to take out all my tension in my shoulders and her customer care was great, sonia even recommended me an oil I should use! A beautiful relaxation area that services some fruit, coffee and different teas. I will be going back!

My mother, my sister and I booked the relaxation day package at the last minute with no preconception of what it would be like other than we know it was at a 5* hotel at an airport terminal! We were pleasantly surprised by the welcome we received, the facilities, the food, and the exceptional treatments. The staff really tried to make us feel special and we had a wonderfully relaxing day and would recommend it to anyone. Would definitely go again!

The Spa suite at Sofitel is hard to find and due to waiting at the hotels reception desk plus their repeated misdirection ( possibly due to their slim grasp on the English language and weird elevator system) I was 10 minutes late for my appointment. I was told as they were so busy my treatment time would be shortened ( facial and therapeutic massage ). I requested that the time be taken off the massage. Even so the massage only extended to my neck and back....very disappointing as I had been on my feet giving a presentation all morning. Surely 45 mins is time enough to do legs also ! Then I was told not to use the steam room or sauna as I'd had a facial....if I had known that I would have gone earlier and used those rooms before. There was no instruction either on how to activate the different parts of the hydrotherapy pool. I was not shown the relaxation room....I saw it on the way out, and there was no sight of the chocolate strawberries which were included in the 'deal' either ! I got the feeling I was somehow inferior because I had a 'voucher' and hadn't paid 'hotel prices'. I loved the fact that it was the only client there, so am mystified as to why I was abruptly told upon arrival that my treatments would be shortened. I will be staying at this hotel every six months on business now, so I'm wondering if I'll be going back to the spa.

Loved the hotel and the staff. The description doesnt tell you that the 3 course meal is a set menu but food was lovely including the breakfast. The massage wasnt particularly great but my partner loved it!

A lovely break! Rooms were really nice, got room service for lunch (a little overpriced, plus had to pay £5 to borrow a corkscrew later in the eve?). We were a little late for our massage and had a shorter time than planned, the lady was very apologetic that she couldn't extend it as they were fully booked, which was totally understandable. The pool was warm (although I would have liked it a little warmer!) and steam and sauna were clean and spacious. Bathrobes towels and slippers were provided in the spa too which was nice! Overall, well worth it with the dinner and breakfast included, plus the 90 minute massage, would definitely recommend.

I went for a Full Relaxation Spa Day and have awarded it 5 stars.
i have been at this hotel for valentine's weekend with my partner. Hotel is quiet big and well designed. The room was cleaned and comfortable bed ,hotel staff was nice but the package that we bought was a bit overpriced what we had.. e.g: spa facility of hotel was a bit weak comparing to their room capacity, jacuzzi pool was nice but was small and spa staff they are NOT TRAINED people at all, there was an indian lady she did 90 mins massage to me , i dont think she knows what she is doing and she wasnt polite with me , massage room was super cold when i said can we make it warmer inside ,she didnt do any solution so basically i didnt feel comfortable at all. The hotel need professional massage employee at their Spa. I dont think i will go back to that hotel again.
