Good Hotel to stay for a few days in Heathrow, if you don't want to travel to city centre. It's easy to reach FOR FREE with the public busses from Heathrow Central Terminals 1,2 & 3 with bus No. 285 that runs every 15 minutes 24 hours a day. From T5 you can take the bus 423, also for free.... more

The Ariel is not your typical Heathrow hotel. Easy to park, clean and the rooms, although small, well serviced and relatively quiet. Don't bother using the "hotel Hoppa" bus service (not just Holiday Inn) but use the free bus service from Harlington Corner to and from Heathrow central. Quicker and saves £4 each way. The hotel will give you a... more

We booked this at a very good rate over the internet - £65 incl b&b - as a stopover before a flight. I would have been disappointed to pay any more as the room was tiny. I was with my adult daughter and had booked a twin room - we could just about get around the beds. However, everything was... more

Booked room on Priceline for $65. Bus from Heathrow is listed as "free" one stop removed from hotel. Driver dropped us in front of Holiday Inn Ariel for "free". We arrived late so not interested in food and departed early again so not interested in food. Menu prices however were quite expensive to our taste. Room was extremely comfortable and... more

My husband and I recently stayed one night at the Holiday Inn Ariel at the end of our trip to London and Scotland. The hotel itself is quite nice, with good sized, clean rooms and bathrooms. The desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good although a bit pricey. Would definitely recommend this hotel, though. more

My wife and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Ariel for one night on August 6th after having spent a few days in the English countryside. We were on our way to Greece and had an early flight the next day. Bottom line, we wanted to be very close to Heathrow so we picked this hotel. To be very honest,... more

My daughter just stayed here. When she arrived on the bus with 3 bags, no-one was at the hotel door to help her--had to drag them in herself. Was told later she should have left it outside and come inside and asked for help, and, by the so called manager, "What do you expect. We are only a three star... more

This hotel was quite close to LHR T5, from where we arrived, but a considerable drive (or two airport buses) from T4. Extrovert lifts which had a lot to say were a bit of a hoot, but might be noisy in adjacent rooms. The noisy water pump may be an issue if someone takes an early shower (and the bnoise... more

A quick 1 night stay before a flight home. Nice hotel with a good sized room. Didn't have time to experience much, but didn't see anything I didn't like. Right beside a big bowling alley which killed some time on the last night of our trip. There were a few small restaurants and pubs down a nearby street. Shuttle to... more
