Novotel London Stansted Airport

Staff were very very friendly and nice! Bus driver as well! Surely the best part of my short experience. Great breakfast and very nice room ; both common areas and the bedroom were cozy and comfortable. Shuttle to the airport is good service (maybe for free ? Or to be included in some offers with the room? Just wondering)

The room was very spacious and clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and despite the hotel being very busy it was relatively quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful, excellent on check-in and likewise on check-out. The food in the restaurant in the evening was great as was the buffet breakfast and again, the staff were excellent. The shuttle bus drivers were also very friendly and courteous. An issue I raised about the towels was dealt with in a positive and professional way. Overall a very good stay and I would be happy to stay there again.

Turning up the day before I flew by train - it was good to see that the hotel provided a shuttle bus to and from the airport. Good value of £4.00 each way - saved a long walk or an overpriced taxi. Hotel was busy and well staffed. Check-in was brisk and easy. Restaurant had choice and not too much to baffle you with too many options. Plenty of check backs and given time to actually to taste the food before stating "Is everything ok with your meal?"

The hotel is very close, just opposite to the long stay Stansted car park. I drove for less than 2 minutes to the car park and left my car theere. The shuttle bus arrives every 15 minutes, but in my case it waited a bit more time till it left the car parking. It takes around another 15 minutes to reach the airport. Everything was well orgonized, the check in time did not take long, probably because I gave most of the data needed online and in advance. The room was pretty decent, clean and with a large TV screen. There is a small fridge with a mini bar, if you need some drinks, or just leave your own items inside to cool down. Check out process was very quick. You can easily park your car in the car park of the hotel. I even saw a small rabit on the hotel car park early in the morning when I took my car to head to the long stay car park.

Excellent location with car hire on the doorstep - who incidently are a great team. The rooms are sizable and clean and good quality linen. Bathroom has really nice toiletries and a deep sink - a must for filling the kettle. Can't complain.
