Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Very clean hotel with very friendly staff, the hotel is ideally situated next to the airport.. I have stayed in this hotel three times."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Waltham Abbey

8/10 Good

"Clean hotel, needs a bit of a face lift in certain areas. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast is very good value, with an adequate selection. I paid for an early check in (10.00 to 12.00), but on arrival none of the 3 rooms booked were available, 1st room became available within 15/20 minutes, then shortly afterwards the 2nd room became available. I also enquired about my upgrade bid on 1 of the rooms, that I was told I would hear about most likely before my arrival, which I did not, I was advised by a very polite front of desk lady member of staff that there were no family suites available, so my bid was unsuccessful. The kind lady did say that they would waiver to charge for early check in, as the hotel had failed to accommodate that request. I left front of desk with 2 of my 3 rooms and was told the 3rd room would be full cleaned within 15/20 minutes. I had to leave the hotel to get ready at home for a function, leaving my family who had travelled some distance in the 2 available rooms to also get ready for the function. On my return to the hotel I was told by my family that the hotel staff had come back to them and said an upgrade to a family suite was now available and did we want it, but we declined, as we were already settled in all our individual rooms and it would have been hassle to move as we were on a tight schedule to reach the destination of our function. On the whole the overall stay was good, but the early check in and upgrade were very disappointing."

"Easy access to long stay car park. Lovely restaurant now open, the supervisor in there very attentive and doesn't miss anything, giving advice to the younger members of the team. Rooms are getting ready for a revamp, and please replace the milk sachets, there are never enough and it goes all over the place."

The Green Man by Chef and Brewer Collection

8/10 Good

"Beautiful cozy room, excellent staff. Like every other time we have stayed here 5+ as our family live nearby, the breakfast is so poor. Very limited choice and not very well made. Which is surprising as the restaurant lunchtime and evening service and quality is far superior. There was limited choice, lots of basics they had run out of (sausages and bacon on a weekend and also yoghurt) and not very well made, overcooked eggs etc. It has put off other family members staying in the future as it is more expensive than some in the area yet they prefer to stay somewhere basic and eat out the following morning for this reason. Everything else lovely, staff very attentive and welcoming."

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was absolutely perfect for me and I cannot fault it! Great location with added bonus of Toby Carvery close by and M and S garage shop so you can’t ask for more 😁 The accommodation was clean and tidy everywhere, the staff were all lovely, very helpful and friendly Breakfast was included in the booking so a great deal. Parking free and next to hotel"

Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"This hotel met our needs. It is in need of an update. The shower pan was dangerously slippery without any grab bars. There was a warning sign but better to put something on the surface to minimize or eliminate this issue. Also, in our assigned room, the tempering valve (that controls the shower water temperature) did not function and consequently the shower water temperature was extremely difficult to control resulting in a possible scalding as the hot water was extremely HOT!! This all said it was close to Stansted and met our needs before an early morning flight to Prague."
