Top Stansted Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Stevenage by IHG

Holiday Inn Stevenage by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were amazing. We were desperate for a hotel with parking facilities, as we’d been let down by the Holiday Inn Express. The lady on the desk, reassured us, and got us checked in straight away. It turned our day around. The room was comfortable and breakfast was good value and catered for us as vegans. We’ve stayed here in the past and after this visit, we’ll never stay anywhere else in Stevenage."

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Large solid bedrooms. Most welcome was an electric fan which had been switched on ahead of us arriving. Bunked in Room 17 and a very peaceful place to be. We arrived at 3pm and of course at that time of day only a few cars were in situ. What was an extra surprise in close proximity is a Bistro and a petrol station with M & S goods on sale. A good stay."

"It was a fantastic, clean hotel with incredible food at a good price and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. We were able to rest before an early flight and we were able to relax due to how close we were to the airport and the shuttle bus service was great also."

Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Health Club

10/10 Excellent
"After reading quite a lot of negative reviews our expectations were quite low. However we were pleasantly surprised. For the price we paid £144 for 2 nights I can’t fault it. Large room, good amenities and very clean. Plus you have access to the pool and spa facilities. Excellent value for money."
