The Ariel Heathrow is a mid-range hotel in terms of price and facilities. In most countries systems of hotel grading this would be equivalent to a 3 star property, perhaps 4 star.

There is an excellent choice of local buses operating every couple of minutes from outside the hotel to local towns. The buses can also be used as a free transfer to the passenger terminals as an alternative to the 'official' Hoppa Bus service which is not complementary and comes at a full price.


The other Holiday Inn hotels at Heathrow are the Holiday Inn Bath Road, Holiday Inn M4 Junction. and Holiday Inn Express Terminal 5.
