Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good
"Would be nice to have more than one teabag in the room and more coffee and milk. The milk had gone off. The teaspoons were dirty so wasn’t very nice to have that in the morning. On the positive side, lovely size room love the smell of the shower gel body cream, et cetera, and plenty of towels"

8/10 Good
"I was disappointed that breakfast finished at 9am as can't this was early for a hotel. I was on business the day before so I thought I would stay in bed a bit longer the next day. I reached the door to the pub part at 09:10 and was told breakfast finished at 09:00. I was a bit disappointed that I still wasn't offered anything. I wasn't told at reception when I checked in. Even the lady on reception when I was checking out agreed it was early and couldn't apologise enough that I wasn't told by the man on reception that breakfast was only until 09:00. Also be careful where you park as my car was absolutely covered in bird droppings, twigs and leaves (not the hotels fault) On plus notes it was so quiet in my room and the curtains were blackout and kept the light out a treat, probably why I slept in even later 😀"
