Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good
"The room could do with some maintenance, the bathroom needs renovating and one do the lamps in the bedroom was faulty. The restaurant was useful for dinner but quite high prices. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the terminal building which is very handy."

The Essex Golf and Country Club

The Essex Golf and Country Club

8/10 Good
"Staff were all very helpful and courteous and the room was clean and spacious but little details like a small fridge and maybe bottled water would not go amiss! What really let the venue down was being told after 6 pm they couldn’t serve alcohol from the bar due to the alcohol licence lapsing which was not a good look for many guests staying and left the poor bar staff having to deal with explaining to several irate customers which the staff dealt with well! Also not the fault of the hotel but very noisy guests above us slamming doors and thumping around most of the night like they had hobnail boots on and it sounded as if they were moving furniture so this led to a very broken night’s sleep which was a shame because the bed was very comfortable!"

Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Ramada Stansted was excellent. The room was spotlessly clean throughout. The beds were like a dream and the bed linen and towels were excellent. The staff on reception were friendly and welcoming and on entering the Ramada, you could see how inviting and clean the reception was. We did not have time for a breakfast, due to our early flight. However, we have had many deliciously tasting cooked breakfast at this particular Ramada in the past and really enjoyed it. When we stayed on 2nd September, the man on reception was fantastic, very helpful and very welcoming, which was a bonus straight away. We would give him 5 Stars *******."
