If you land late at Stansted airport - this is a great opportunity. From and to the hotel there is bus shuttle that makes it easy to get to the hotel- price is 4 pund a person per trip. From the hotel and back a bus go from the hotel back to the airport every 30’minutes. And than one can get on a plane somewhere or be fresh and start the vacation in London or where else you need to go:) Hotel has breakfast from 4 in the morning as and crap and go. And from 6 a normal breakfast Fast checking and out So in all a great place if you land or departure at strange times

If delayed at the airport, this is ideal. The price included a fantastic delicious breakfast. I’d stay there again.

Perfect for a night before departing at Stansted airport . Diner and bar was open late. Offers shuttle to the airport every half hour for 15E. You can take an express bus from Heathrow AirPort to Stansted airport.( 45E)

Nice clean, spacious rooms, staff excellent, able to accommodate our two rooms next to each other without being asked (they did check first that's what we'd like!). We were leaving too early for a hot breakfast but the grab and go/express breakfast was good, fresh, and a wide selection. Safe car parking (£14) at front of hotel good.

We booked night before and night after flight at the hotel, good shuttle service to/from the airport. Rooms functionable, I liked having a soft and hard pillow choice, the reception and breakfast staff were really nice, polite and professional. We will stay again when we next fly from Stansted

Close to Stansted airport. Bear in mind £4 per trip to and from airport. Breakfast included. So very good for value. In general it’s a but dated. McDonald’s and M&S food hall just a min walk away. For a brief stay to catch an early flight. Very good choice.

Exactly what you need for an airport hotel. Shuttle bus is convenient and costs £4 per person, service is good, rooms are spacious and comfortable and breakfast is of a good standard.

The hotel was fine and good location as we were leaving from Stanstead airport for Italy. Easy parking, staff helpful, but the hotel needs a bit of a refurb to bring it up a bit. Good that they give you a pick nd run breakfast from 4am for early flights :-)

Stayed at Holiday Inn for the first time in many years on a trip with friends, and it was amazing. Holiday Inn remains frills-free, but with thoughtful and quality touches in it's premises that I am grateful for, and definitely raises the bar for other low mid-priced establishments. Well done to the strong management and team! All were brilliant from the front desk service (the younger ones and the more experienced) to the cleanliness, newness, furnishings, available iron ironing board, soaps, storage space, pantry, fan, coffee table... Thank you for giving us travellers the space to lodge neatly, without needing to stuff our belongings across floorings and beds :D breakfast and beverage options were sumptuous, and lovely assistants were on hand to replenish the buffet and clear dishes. The only thing I would suggest would be space/an additional towel rail for the second boarder. My husband hanged his on the small loo rail, while I left my damp one on the fan desk. All the hangers were used for our clothes. It wasn't major. Thanks for the thoughtful logistics and management. We're definitely revisiting when we're back. Wishing the team blessings and fairness in their work!
