Very pleasant and helpful staff, Excellent value and 21 nights parking included. Don't bother with the Hooper bus to the terminal £8. Book a taxis through the hotel £10 (far quicker and far easier).

Only moan was the rooms were to hot.

I booked a room at the Ariel for one night as it was close to Heathrow, according to the website. I got a tiny room with a single bed. The room was tidy, but had a strong smell of ammonia, so being exhausted, I opened the window and tried to get to sleep. I had a terrible sleep due to the smell of the room, and mentioned the terrible smell to the front desk staff as I checked out, and suggested they not put anyone else in that room until the smell was resolved. I guess I should have just left the room immediately on seeing it, but I was really exhausted after a couple of long flights and needed the sleep. The front desk staff were pleasant, but I would never stay there again.

Stayed here the night before I took a long haul flight out of Heathrow.

Check in very efficient and I was upgraded due to Priority Club status. Nice of the hotel to welcome PC members - not many Holiday Inns do this.

Had a chilled evening in the bar and enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine due to drinks voucher from Priority Club.

Rooms were nice and well equipped.

Check out the next morning very quick and the Hoppa Bus is very handy for taking you straight to the airport.

great place to stay for location for the heathrow express very quiet rooms considering its right next to a run way, if you want some entertainment go outside and watch the planes land only up to 100-200 yards away so close, but excellent aswell
