Top Colchester Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent
"The property is perfect for its proximity to London Stansted. Less than a 5 min walk to the concourse. The website Laundry Facilities. We booked the hotel in part bc it listed this. We needed to wash before our trip. Upon arrival we were told that they have laundry services that they do for you. For a shirt it was 8 pounds. It would have cost us 300 pounds to wash what we needed. The site should say “Laundry Service” not facilities. If you don’t need to wash it is a great place to beds are very comfortable and the place was very clean."

"Lovely and peaceful, very helpful staff. Room a bit tired. Expedia didn't tell the hotel we had expressly wished for separate beds, so they had to come and do that during our stay."

"Pleasant reception staff and easy check in/out. Room very clean and comfortable beds. Bar was very busy in evening but to be expected with number of guests. Breakfast was excellent - very good assortment and staff regularly replacing items. Bus every 30 mins to airport. Nothing negative about this hotel. Would highly recommend."
