Top Colchester Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Had a one night stopover and would happily have stayed longer. The room was a modest sized double but very clean and well maintained. Ideal for a short stay. Plenty of toiletries in the bathroom and a bath. Good air con. Welcoming team on the desk and bar when I arrived in the early hours of the morning. The buffet breakfast didn’t have a huge selection of hot stuff (no Tomatoes or mushrooms) was all freshly cooked with good selection of continental items too."
