Best Stansted Mountfitchet Hotels

"Not Worth It, Even for the Price If you’re only looking for a cheap place to sleep, the price might seem reasonable — but I did not enjoy my stay. The room looked like the photos, but there was an unpleasant, old smell and a lot of dust. It felt very basic and not well-maintained. Unfortunately, I didn’t check the mattress before settling in. I spent the whole night scratching and later noticed stains on it. One of the pillows I didn’t even use had body hair on it and looks like a bug?! Honestly, it was awful — and still felt overpriced for what you get. The room didn’t have a fridge or mini bar, which made it even less convenient for a short stay. Parking was an extra £14 per night. Breakfast was very basic. It’s nice that you can take it to go, but it’s mostly sugary snacks like muffins, muesli, croissants, and jam on bread. For the same money, you could get a better breakfast at the airport and actually feel full."

"Located a short ride away from the terminal, the hotel is perfect for a comfortable night's sleep. There is a shuttle bus from/to the airport and costs £4 per journey."

"Checking in was easy and the man was so nice. Room was ideal, requested a runway view and that definitely ticked that box. Breakfast had plenty of options, cold salad, ham and cheese, hot scrambled egg, bacon, sausages (standard and vegetarian), hash browns, beans, cereals, seeds, yogurt, a couple Danishes and then there was 'make your own' waffles (just like in the States)"

"To be honest, apart from the fact it was so close to the terminal for a 4am start, it was disappointing. Long queue to check in although staff were polite and welcoming, I had to climb over a pizza box, dirty cup and wine glass dumped outside my door and when I entered the room I wasn't wholly convinced it had been cleaned properly. Also, pet peeve, no biscuits! However, on the plus side it was quiet and check out was quick."

"Really good service all the time from checkin to checkout. Restaurant has a good variety for evening meals. There is shuttle bus which is £4 one way to and from the airport. Buffet breakfast has great options too. Perfect if flying in and out of Stansted."

"The hotel itself is very dated and basic but absolutely fine for a night stay before or after a flight. Everything was just perfect for us. Cheap and cheerful for our budget. Staff were helpful and check in/ out easy. Ideal location for Stansted airport as it's literally 5 minutes away from the airport carparks. It's at a welcome break area so KFC, burger king and subway onsite."

"Location is good if you drive as it is close to Stansted airport and Bishop's Stortford. Staff are generally nice and helpful, but you need to inform the frontdesk if you need your room cleaned and tidied up the next day, as merely hanging the sign on your door would be ignored."
