Top The Common Hotel Reviews

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here while attending an appointment at Papworth Hospital and had a great experience. The hotel was excellent value for money, in a peaceful location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. The staff were lovely, and having a bar and restaurant on site was a real bonus. We ordered drinks and dessert, both of which were delicious. I would happily stay here again if the price is right."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"I would return. Great staff, not so great food, the place is looking tired but overall good"

"Ryan on the desk was fantastic cheers !!!!!"

Premier Inn London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff"

Stansted Airport Lodge

8/10 Good

"I think this place has potential. It did it's job for me, somewhere to stay for a night close to Stansted Airport on a bus route that runs late I to the night as I was on a late arriving flight. Price is very reasonable to alternative accommodation, the accommodation is clean, it just needs some minor cosmetic repairs doing in the room. Perhaps an automated email could be sent to people staying the night reminding them of the check in process and how to find the accommodation, as the reception desk is not staffed."

Stansted Airport Lodge

8/10 Good

"The hotel could do with some tlc and was ok for a one night stay.Our room was clean but it did have a leek in the bathroom."
