Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

"Very comfortable and well equipped rooms with a good well designed bathroom. The breakfast was great with lots of choice and plenty of food. The staff were really nice and friendly, especially at breakfast. I would definitely stay here again."

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Just excellent for a one night stay pending a flight with great proximity to the airport and parking"

Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Health Club

8/10 Good

"The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Room was a great size. Restaurant was freezing. They did turn down/off the aircon but it was still very cold with people sat in coats!"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the center of town! The room was clean and very comfortable. The kitchenette was clean and modern. They even provide milk for tea in the fridge."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely relaxing decor in bedroom, very clean and nice towels. Restaurant was a bit basic and felt a little grubby, Standard food like a Wetherspoons but at very inflated prices with no option to visit anywhere else locally. Staff friendly and professional. Would stay again, but maybe eat before we arrived in the evening!"

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good. Room is a little dated. Note additional parking fee of £10.20 which is totally unnecessary given the out of town location"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything I needed and more - a comfortable quiet room, wonderfully cheerful and helpful staff, a great breakfast and an easy bus ride to and from the airport."

Novotel Cambridge North

8/10 Good

"The rooms they didn’t felt cosy. It was okay."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the stay but we were a little disappointed by the size of the room and the balcony which was tiny. I expected a little more for the price. We wanted something really special for this trip but sadly expectations were not met. On the plus side, friendly staff, nice garden and very lovely location."
