Hotels near London Stansted Airport

Pros: The owner was very friendly and did all he could for us, and was mindful of my wife's disability. There is a ramp for wheelchair access and the room was very clean and tidy. Although close to the airport we were not bothered by planes (it was over a weekend, however)

Cons: The doors to the rooms were a little stiff to open

Pros: Breakfast was plentiful, lots of variety. Room and bathroom very clean. Little things like hand cream, cotton buds in bathroom, lovely towels. Tea/coffee AND drinking chocolate in room. Walks around the field early morning. Deer, rabbits seen from the window. Covid station as you enter building.

Cons: Not so much a didn't like. But was looking forward to there being some farm animals, there are none.

Pros: Very nice ower. Near airport and very quite! Will come back again, good for 4 adult and 2baby

Pros: Very tranquil place

Pros: Very welcoming, beautiful scenery and the room was clean and cosy. Breakfast choices were amazing!

Cons: Totally self service in a rather chilly kitchen room. Had to help yourself from the fridge to get a cold breakfast. There were plenty of self help provisions but nothing cooked.

Pros: Stayed here unplanned but I really enjoyed it. Very friendly and warm personal and nice breakfast.

Pros: Cleaning, friendly staff

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Pros: Everything was clean

Pros: Candy was amazing, so friendly.

Cons: One of the other guests was a bit random, but no fault of Stansted Lodge

Pros: We were pleasantly surprised by self check-in. Everything was clean and tidy. Amazing location, overall a great experience!

Pros: Was the only one in the hotel so was quiet.

Cons: The mattress needed to be replaced ages ago. If I can't get a good night sleep then everything else doesn't matter. Also the lockbox to open the front door can be easier.

Pros: Easy self check in with idiotproof instructions. Room was basic with shared bathroom but super clean and comfortable. Quiet location and ideal for early flights from stansted. Excellent value for money.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very clean and welcoming. Charming host.

Cons: To stay only one short night!

Pros: Landlady was very kind and nice. She helped me get to the airport. The room was cosy and clean with a comfortable bed. I will definitely recommend this place.

Cons: There were no robes, slippers or toiletries as stated. Also no spoon to make tea. No breakfast provided.

Cons: The hotel was a little dated.. Different than the photos however the bathroom was huge and overall the room was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This was Christmas day just before lockdown so a very difficult situation which the staff had no control over, understandably. Unfortunately due to lockdown there was no breakfast available and we couldn't find anybody when we wanted to check out. Again not the hotels fault just very unfortunate.

Pros: Comfy bed, nicely decorated and cosy.

Cons: There was a couple of bulbs out in the room, one window didn’t shut which was very noisy and could do with an upgraded tv.

Pros: Lovely decor beautiful place staff were very friendly and welcoming

Cons: I everything was perfect

Pros: Lovely room with a classic Four Poster and freestanding retro bathtub. Restaurant has a fabulous chef. Cool deco vibe in a smart upbeat stay over venue. Good breakfast too!

Cons: Staff training..Attention to detail was poor. Very poor Covid protection measures. The staff are just not taking Covid seriously at all. Friendly barman doesn’t want to cover his nose with his mask and removes it to talk and is over familiar in close proximity. Young smart Restaurant manager must be exempt wearing a mask altogether which doesn’t help our protection.? Found a black sock and rose petal confetti scattered around our bedroom. Light fitting hanging out of the ceiling and a big split in the ceiling plasterboard join is showing in what was otherwise a lovely room. Good WiFi. Only two poor choices of red wine available in the restaurant. A budget Malbec or a budget Merlot. So in summary, the owner has created a great place to stay, fabulous rooms at a an attractive price, great little restaurant, a good chef and menu, nice bar deco but attention to detail with getting the staff up to scratch is clearly needed. Needs a more professional touch to match the investment. I would book again though. Hope some training is done.

Pros: Absolutely amazing hotel.very welcoming stuff.location very close to airport great breakfast.

Pros: Exceptional service from receptionist, location to airport and train station brilliant.

Pros: The room was great. Mattress was super comfortable. Location was also great as we were staying because of a layover. Breakfast buffet was also the best I have ever had.

Cons: Food prices at restaurant were a little pricey for what was offered. Room smelled a little of smoke. Suggestion: perhaps offer complimentary water bottles in rooms?

Pros: I had only one night at the Radisson Blu but it was great. Dinner at the Italian restaurant was memorable - unusual, creative dishes. My room was, for me, very spacious and luxurious. The breakfast buffet was outstanding and had a wonderful assortment including fresh fruit salad, which is a rarity indeed. I had time to use the heated swimming pool.and enjoyed it very much. Then a quick but tasty lunch in the bar before departure. All the staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated a late check out as well as a concierge facility that allowed me to leave a large suitcase both at no additional charge. I didn't mind paying for the excellent facilities and service. Well worth it.

Cons: The swimming pool closing at 07.30 PM. also, the hotel was a bit pricey.

Pros: Loved that there was an acrobat performing several times throughout the evening! Fantastic rooms and excellent service!

Cons: Restaurant prices were a bit high, also it would have been even more wonderful if he acrobat's performance times were posted somewhere so I could have timed my evening drinks in the bar accordingly. All around great experience though!

Cons: Everything was great!!!

Pros: Without doubt one of the warmest and cosiest B and Bs I've ever stayed in; it was minus figures outside but the room was warm and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and provided an excellent breakfast in the morning. I'd have no hesitation booking Taphall again and would highly recommend it.

Cons: Great breakfast.

Pros: Good offering....even could have had a fry up but time constraints precluded this. Location was the only major negative with considerable road traffic noise particulary before midnight and after 5am.

Cons: Location. See above. Proximity to Stansted Airport a benefit when buses are available (a single adult fare £1.50) however taxis to the B&B were £14.50 from the approved airport taxi service....and if you followed the link for taxis on their booking confirmation page you could find youself paying £50 for a 3 mile journey!!

Pros: Beautiful home, great location after an evening flight. Very friendly and accomodating family. Very comfortable bed.

Cons: Shower water temp couldn't find warm- had to keep alternating hot and cold

Pros: The location was beautiful

Pros: Leaving.

Cons: The tv wasn’t working upon arrival and having booked a room with breakfast was informed it was a bag with a sandwich and snack bar. The windows of the room hadn’t been cleaned and the floor wasn’t properly hoovered. To add to insult they also took a £25.00 security deposit. ???????

Pros: A lovely place, as long as you do not mind aircraft noise (which wasn't too bad as we are in a CV-19 situation).

Cons: Unfortunately other guests were not respectful to other people - noisy & doors banging loudly until 11pm ish

Pros: Lovely building and surrounding area but only 5 mins from the M11. Would definitely recommend and visit again in better times

Cons: In flight path of Stanstead. Fully aware when booking and obviously one of its positives as well as a negative.

Pros: Location basically everything

Pros: nice view & staff was helpful.

Cons: no hot water for shower. We booked a family suit, suppose we have 2 single beds for kids and 1 double bed, that listed on Booking.com. However the staff in hotel said they didn't have this option, only had 2 double beds instead.... The staff was nice and helpful to sort it out eventually.

Pros: Large clean room and bathroom. Beautiful grounds. Our room had French doors looking out at a lovely green space.The restaurant was very nice. The food and service were both excellent. My husband had a huge, beautifully cooked, hamburger. Breakfast was very good as well. We were on our way out of the country and it was a relaxing break in traveling. All the staff was friendly and helpful. would stay again!

Cons: Nothings

Pros: Clean and friendly staff

Cons: Nothing

Cons: No eating facilites, ate in the Ramada next door which was very poor, very much a one night necessity stay hotel.

Pros: Nice staff doing their best.

Cons: Dirty net curtains with cigarette holes in them. Absolutely unforgiveable neglect of basic needs of acceptable decor. Disrespect for customers. Contempt almost.

Cons: Didn't have hot water , complained twice to reception. Thought it will be resolved in the morning, unfortunately, got up at 4am for my early flight and still no hot water. Reception even didn't offer anything to compensate inconvenience , just said oh sorry the night shift didn't mention anything about your issue. pretty upsetting that basic thing as hot water isn't available in this place. Will not stay there again , will not recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Excellent location right outside the airport / next to the services

Cons: Property was tired and run down, room smelt of sewage, things felt unclean as a whole

Pros: location, facilities, staff

Cons: very unclean, bugs in bathroom

Pros: After the first of three nights, Percy the family dog, is very much at ease with the layout so much so he literally navigates by himself to be room in and out.

Pros: Staying at this hotel has always been a very pleasant experience.

Cons: Limescaled caked kettle.

Pros: The staff was incredibly friendly and nice. Catering to our every need. We will be back

Pros: Very spacious rooms

Cons: No negatives

Pros: Excellent service from one of the reception - Daniela I believe.

Cons: Several young people who were placed there for wekfare readons who didn’t masks! The management said they told to do so but were ignored. I called the police, who attended but the situation persisted! Apparently after leaving I was labelled a ‘troublemaker’ and the general management for the Desalis and other local hotels blacklisted me! This is outrageous! I have tried to find the contact details for the management but I’ve been unsuccessful. I spoke to a lady called Hazel who answered the phone at Desalis and she told me the only number fo this was the Desalis one! I want to make a formal complaint but I gave contact details. I have contacted Essex County Council and Uttlesford about the Covid regulations breach.

Pros: location

Cons: Hotel full of homeless young people.no masks.smoking cigarettes and pot rooms 18-22. Hairs in the bed.uncomfortable bed. Car alarm from 2-4am. Had to ask for towels and cups. Had to ask for bulbs. Put them in ourselves. No wifi. No signal. Had to sleep on top of the bed re hairs. Had to go and look for staff and not helpful

Cons: Lack of basic toiletries in bathroom - soap for hand washing, rooms too hot even at night.

Pros: Airport shuttle was convenient.

Cons: It was satisfactory.

Pros: Owners were lovely. Very warm and friendly. Funky looking foyer.

Cons: We had two separate rooms. One which was cold and so we had to ask for a heater. TV didn't work (assume batteries in remote) but didn't want to ask again. 2 dead spiders in the bathroom. Fire alarm went off at 1am. Slight smell of smoke inside due to people smoking so often just outside the building. Bed a little wobbley. A sachet of coffee would have been nice in the room, not just a tea bag.

Cons: Inside the room extreme bad smell, room did not well arranged, heater does not work, behaviour is not enough polite, price is highy...etc!

Pros: nothing. wouldnt book again

Cons: dirty and scrafy. reception was nice but room was in another building and that looked like an old cheap brothel . light in bathroom didnt work, remote control didnt work and wrapped in tape , buttons on it disgusting to touch , flloor like after old leak , cold in room , holes in table . there were some young people ( longer term tenannts???, dont know but the way how they act seemed like they have been longer there) these were shouting to each other from room to room and hallway like there would be nobody else, smashing the doors, this was going on even ater midnight - i had an early flight and couldny sleep at all . i had much better accomodation for same price or even cheaper .

Pros: Close to where I had to work and cheap The bed was comfy

Cons: The cleanliness was poor and it didn’t smell very pleasant. It was apparent covid safety measures with disinfecting and regular cleaning were not met. Staff were unaware of my booking on arrival. A lot of noise throughout the night from guests in the ground floor using the communal kitchen and socialising in the early hours . The fire alarm went off at 6am due to a faulty shower . Faulty light and very slow running tap in the bathroom along with dirty shower and shower screen

Pros: Airport was very close. The room had two beds like I booked. Had en-suite.

Cons: Room and en-suite was not very clean and smelly. Was coffee left but no spoon. Upon arrival we had to wait over 20 minutes for someone to show up. Phone number website provided does not exsist. Trying number in the front of the building - noone answer.

Pros: Staff

Cons: No hot water

Pros: Clean & friendly

Cons: A bit cold at night couldn’t work heating tried to contact property but no reply

Pros: Nothing special. A bit dirty. Had to have the window open because it was so hot, but when i got there the window was already open. I would consider staying again.

Pros: The hotel is located close to Stansted airport BUT...

Cons: DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL or DeSalis. I have given fair (good) reviews to most of the hotels where I have stayed in the past. My reviews can be seen in Agoda, Booking, Kayak and I am a Platinum member with Marriott hotels. What did I not like about this hotel? I encountered the rudest and most disrespectful staff I've ever dealt with. As soon as I walked in the guy at the front desk yelled at my girlfriend and I for leaving the car parked (momentarily) in the only area available (we did this to confirm that we had a room before unloading our suitcases) If you're driving, bear in mind that the hotel has two decent parking spots, otherwise you'll end up leaving your car in the back of the building which seems dark and unsafe. The guy then said that he didn't see our reservation and sent us to a DIFFERENT HOTEL without even apologizing for the ordeal. The new hotel was called DeSalis and it was OK at first sight but we were given a nasty and old room in the back of the building. The room smelled like and old and humid warehouse. The bed was uncomfortable and you had to hold the shower with one hand as it wasn't attached to the wall. Further, we were told the restaurant closed at 11pm but we showed up at 10.35pm and they said that the kitchen was closed. Bear in mind that the closest restaurant is 15 minutes away from DeSalis. Outcome? We ate chips and drank cheap wine at 11.30pm in our nasty and uncomfortable room after driving 4 hours from Manchester. Overall, this was the worst experience I've ever had not with one but two hotels. I am sure other people have enjoyed their stays but I hope you guys keep in mind my comments if you want to avoid being THAT couple that doesn't their last night in such a lovely country! I want to leave on a good note so I will once again mention that both hotels are less than 8 minutes away from the aiport.

Pros: Great, cheap and located near the airport !
