"Great hotel set in quiet, open expanse of countryside backing onto golf course with ample free parking. Room was large, modern, comfortable and well appointed with beverage kit, kettle, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful, and leisure facilities - gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi - were outstanding. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and returning next week."

Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean,staff were very helpful. Breakfast was really nice."

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

8/10 Good

"Clean room with attentive staff over the course of our 2 night stay. We never had a car but thought it costly at £14 a night,make a profit for sure but slightly high imo. We were unfortunate to have some of the travelling community staying and staff found it challenging to address their presence. I understand why this to be the case."

Campanile restaurant BASILDON - East of London

10/10 Excellent

"Came with my partner for 3 nights ended up booking an extra night while there , very helpful staff, staffed 24 hrs , room basic but clean everything you need for a short break could go with extra plug socket as only 2 in room under the desk , breakfast great lots of choice full English or cereal, toast , pancakes etc , bar reasonable priced , light on outside sign of hotel bulbs need replacing as takes look away from building will definitely be staying there again"

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay and would stay in this accommodation again . Very clean room and quite modern and breakfast amazing and was free and all staff lovely . All I would comment on they need more staff during the evening . The two staff that were there were rushed off there feet but they still done a brilliant job thank you"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was a fantastic, clean hotel with incredible food at a good price and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. We were able to rest before an early flight and we were able to relax due to how close we were to the airport and the shuttle bus service was great also."
