Top Stansted Hotel Reviews

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

10/10 Excellent
"This was my third stay here, and overall I had another very good experience. The location is incredibly convenient, especially for anyone commuting to Cambridge, with the train station literally right on the doorstep. I did have a couple of issues with the room: the A/C wasn't working and the shower drain was partially blocked. I had actually reported the problem two weeks earlier when I stayed in the same room, so it was disappointing to find they still hadn't been fixed. That said, my concerns were handled well once I raised them - I was offered a different room, which was much nicer, and I really appreciated how accommodating they were. All in all, a great stay and a perfect option for anyone who needs an easy commute to Cambridge."

Holiday Inn Brentwood M25, Jct. 28 by IHG

Holiday Inn Brentwood M25, Jct. 28 by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"This is a really well run hotel. We had a large room with a super king sized bed. I asked for a softer pillow and housekeeping delivered one within minutes of asking. The pool is only small but it has a great jacuzzi (lovely and hot which often isn’t the case), sauna and steam room. The buffet breakfast was delicious. Obviously it’s not in a beautiful setting as it’s right in the junction of the A12 and M25 but it is a little haven of loveliness."

"Nice place & great location. Used for a work trip. Food was good & room was spacious & clean. The only down side was on arrival. I stood waiting for a drink & was acknowledged by 3 members of staff whilst waiting who turned their heads away from me. I waited a good few minutes before asking for assistance. The same thing happened on my next visit to the bar."

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."
