  Why would you take the Hoppa bus? Regular London buses are free of charge around Heathrow.

    Although from what I’ve found they don’t go to all the hotels. For example during the day it seemed to be a tube+bus ride to the Doubletree LHR (vs the Hoppa), however at night there was a night bus that would take you right past it – cheaper than the Hoppa! I thought it was more just for one like the HI Arial that the free buses were a possibility?

    Because if you don’t know what you are doing it is the easiest way. I am working on a piece on the free London buses at LHR.

      There is a very useful site that has listed details of the free Heathrow local buses. http://www.londontoolkit.com/lhr/heathrow_local_buses.htm

  Bagged a similar deal a while ago for a trip in F to Moscow in July. I think it was described as a 5* ‘with excellent access to the terminal’. Looking forward to trying it out, will miss out on Le Club benefits no doubt but asking costs nothing.

  Can one check-in, leave a car in the car park , and then pick it up a fortnight later at no extra cost?

    You mean inclusive in the one night fee?!!! They are not running a charity!

  Certainly worth a shot, but suspect probably not. Although saying that I did earn credits and receive a free drink/upgrade when staying there when BA were paying during an irrop!

  My wife and I stayed one night two weeks ago and we left the car for 4 days all for £140. We felt it was well worth the money. It really is just a short walk to the terminal and there is plenty of large parking spaces available in their underground car park.

  I’ve emailed Accor asking exactly this as I’m a plat. with them. I *think* if you can get your a-club number added to the reservation you should be eligible.

  • Rob says:

    In general, across all chains, it would not count. Hilton and Hyatt generally better than Marriott and IHG, not sure about Accor.

    Interested to hear the result, as I am, too…

  Great tip, thank you, have booked for our Tokyo holiday this week 🙂

  I did exactly this in February 2014 (prior to a trip to Sochi) and am delighted to report that I received full Platinum benefits, including access to the Club Lounge. With a light evening buffet and free pour drinks, it made it an *incredibly* good value stay!

  The only downside of my stay had nothing to do with Sofitel – watching Team GB grab a curling semi-final place over (my free Club lounge) breakfast let me to miss my flight to Moscow and hats off to BA for a trouble-free (and cost-free) re-booking on the next flight.

  Thanks for a great site Raffles – as many others have said, you’re part of my daily routine now!

    Hi Adam,

    I will be there on Tuesday using this deal (thanks Raffles!) – Did you just hand over your card at check-in or had it added somehow prior?
