Dtaff were very helpful and friendly. Late check out was offered if i signed up into the group which was free. The only drawback os the the bar closing at 11 when we landed quite a lot later than that. Otherwise 5/5

The hotel was very close to the airport, literally 10 mins max, but beware the shuttle bus takes £4 per way. The staff were really great, friendly and helpful, check in was smooth and the room was clean, tidy and relatively spacious. It has an iron in it, a TV, a couch, a desk and a double bed. The bathroom was good too, clean and well equipped. The morning buffet was ok, not so many options but would do. They really need to take care of the scent of the cutlery though, they’re perfectly clean but they smell awful.

Lovely hotel, ideal for early flight out and we stayed there on the way back home too. All staff were lovely and accommodating, even at 2am in the morning! Rooms big, clean and have what you need. We did not hear any noise from other guests and had a peaceful sleep. Breakfast is lovely too!

The hotel is very convenient if you are flying from Stansted Airport. It offers a light breakfast if departing before 6am and a full hot English breakfast thereafter. They also offer a transit shuttle ( £4.00 per person to and from the airport. No stress, everything is straight forward. We have stayed at this hotel and used the shuttle 3 time. Excellent organisation.

Located only 3 minutes from Stansted Airport, the shuttle bus is 24 hours and runs every 30 minutes. Perfect choice if you have early morning flight. Breakfast it’s included in the price and starts at 4 am with takeaway service if your fly it’s early.

Staff were lovely but checked in for 4 people. The sofa bed was the most uncomfortable you could possibly imagine. None of the sockets were working and we called reception and they told us they already know about it. They switched us rooms and this room smelt badly of smoke, the carpet's are filthy and stained and the bed had big stains on the sheets.
