Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very engaging pleasant staff across the board!"

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The staff were not very polite or helpful. During our stay, the weather was extremely hot and the air conditioning was not working. We called reception and asked if someone could take a look. A receptionist came to our room, but her attitude was rude and unprofessional, and the issue was not resolved. Overall, the lack of customer service and support made our stay uncomfortable."

Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Parking easy £10 for two nights, desk staff brilliant as usual. Duel roles bar and desk great service. Chef is pretty good and very efficient and polite. Easy transport to Bishops Stortford bus 2 min walk bus stop behind property both in and out. Make sure coming back out of Stortford ask driver for the Golf Course (buses are confusing even though I did live there years ago)."
