Top Matching Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about it was great, the service, the room and the food."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Nothing to mention."

MOXY London Stratford

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 3 nights. did not use the amenities much so difficult to say much. Room clean and staff excellent. Did not have breakfast so difficult to comment. Thoroughly recommend and I will be back."

Moxy London Excel

8/10 Good

"I was very happy with the cleanliness of the room it smelt really nice when we walked in which I also liked. The only thing was there was some scum around the bottom of the shower on the outside underneath the sink, only noticeable really when you sit on the toilet. We didn’t have breakfast as £16 for breakfast was too expensive really. However I will definitely book again as I had a really good nights sleep and was really happy with the place."

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Aa"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London ExCel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean, check in was quick. It was nice to get some cookies during check in. Room size was as expected. We didn’t get the waterfront view so can’t comment on that. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Amenities in room was basic. We booked family room so sofa bed was there. Three bottled water was provided but it was not replenished for subsequent nights. While stay was fine the breakfast was average (standard British breakfast options) and it could have been better. Restaurant was overlooking waterway so was great but some more attention on cleanliness would be better. Staff were polite and friendly which was plus. The hotel has a bar and fitness centre. We didn’t use either so can’t comment on that but looked great. There is sufficient parking space (£15/night) and some charging stations if you drive EV (make sure you carry charging cables as station don’t have one and you to have to use your own). DLR station is 10 mins walk and buses accessible (5-7 mins walk). Very close to London City airport (you could see planes landing and taking off across the waterfront). Although outside is noisy due to planes landing and taking off, interestingly rooms are sound proof so you don’t hear those noises at all. Overall we were satisfied with it the stay just felt some services could be improved further to enhance the experience."
