"Stayed here while attending an appointment at Papworth Hospital and had a great experience. The hotel was excellent value for money, in a peaceful location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. The staff were lovely, and having a bar and restaurant on site was a real bonus. We ordered drinks and dessert, both of which were delicious. I would happily stay here again if the price is right."

Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

8/10 Good

"Friendly welcome at this hotel in a beautiful green area of Stansted. The hotel bar / restaurant is modern with some tasty pieces of art and decor. An amazing mural which really keeps you pondering. ( I’m still thinking about it) The room was adequate, clean enough. Bedding and towels spotless so for the price of the room at this prime location to the airport well worth it. A bit tired, needs updating ( which seemed to be happening in areas) We had dinner there. Food was fine, ice not available as machine wasn’t working and in a g&t definitely necessary for me. Barman did his best but as he was also checking people in, taking food orders, waiting in tables, managing the bar AND carrying cases up to people’s rooms he was damn good. I would definitely stay again but in the hope there was a bag of ice in the kitchen freezer. Little things like this can make for a more pleasant experience for the nervous flier! We left too early (3 a.m) to try the breakfast. Overall, an excellent price for easy access to airport."

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate room. Tasty breakfast served with a smile from Jeanie. Couldn’t get closer to the airport. My only sort of criticism was that we appeared to have to queue at the bar in the evening for a drink which the customers did, but the staff ignored !!!"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure staying here!"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Great stopover hotel for Stansted Airport"

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

8/10 Good

"One point to note first - despite the name, this is nowhere close to Cambridge South station, but is right next to Whittlehurst Parkway - there is little within walking distance in the surrounding area, so best if you have a car, but there are regular trains to cambridge that take 10-15 minutes. The hotel itself is fine, clean and modern. Staff friendly, small bar at the reception if you want a drink or coffee."

"So convenient to the Train Station!"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

"Love this hotel. Ideal for me as I'm a regular visitor to London for the football, I find this hotel an ideal base being so close to the airport. My wife travels with me and we find everything about this hotel is just right, the staff are super friendly which is the biggest plus of all. If only my team were as accommodating at keeping me happy."
