"OMG never seen such an awfull appartment, so dirty, cold, no WIFI, no teresteral TV, living room window was closed but didnt feel like it. Took about 20 mins to get into appartment as lock is knackered. We tried to get in touch many times onse so we couldnt stay there. We continued to try to contact every day and Hotels.com did as well. They eventually did try to call us but I missed the call, they followed this up with an email to which I did reply to twice, but still nothing. This has been...

Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The Radisson at Stansted is always a great choice before an early morning flight. We particularly appreciated the ability to leave our car in the adjacent (yellow?) carpark"

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"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very convenient for our flight from London Stanstead. Clean and welcoming. The only issue we had was that the booking in system was down which meant a long queue at reception. We were told it would be up and running soon but unfortunately that wasn't the case. We ate hoping it would be resolved but didn't actually get into our room until after 11pm, having arrived at 9pm . By way of apology they waivered the car parking charge which was a nice gesture."

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 Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Large solid bedrooms. Most welcome was an electric fan which had been switched on ahead of us arriving. Bunked in Room 17 and a very peaceful place to be. We arrived at 3pm and of course at that time of day only a few cars were in situ. What was an extra surprise in close proximity is a Bistro and a petrol station with M & S goods on sale. A good stay."

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."
