Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
When I booked the hotel, Hotels.com advised that parking was available and I got there they charged me £14.00 for the night advising that Hotels.com should have advised me on that which they did not.
Staff were not friendly and they just handed the keys no other info.
I had to ask for breakfast time, where restaurant was etc etc. The restaurant was located in the lobby which was not nice at all.
rooms was ok, i found it too expensive for the quality, breakfast included but there was only cereals fruits and low quality croissant until later in the morning, staff was lovely but overall low quality experience, would not come back
Clean, convenient hotel near Stansted, with a great bus service to the airport for £4, every half hour. Good breakfast included with a very practical early start (4 am!) for those Ryanair flights.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms comfortable and clean. A bit noisy, but it's everything you would expect from an airport hotel. Great place for a pre flight overnight stay
Family room really unsuitable if you travel with teenagers. Despite the hotel has bedrooms with 2 doubles, we're given a sofa bed for children tall 6feet. Carpet full of stains and dirty. Service very poor and staff didn't seem that friendly either particularly as there was 1 staff and a long queue to check-in. Parking is another scam charged at £14 night, even though, we paid for the room. Visitors instead are charged £10 only. Breakfast minimal and basic.
The room smelled like unwashed linen
and the hotel generally looked like wasn’t cleaned well enough. The heating system didn’t work which we weren’t told at the reception, and when we rang and asked the gave us a small portable heater.
