Great place to stay when you have an early flight at Stansted. Room was stylish, clean and had a very comfy bed. The rainfall shower was perfect at waking you up. Parking was £15 for the night but compared with the cost of a holiday and the convenience of a 5min drive to stansted I think it was a good price.

Easy to find. Always places to park but that’s an additional £10. Hotel staff are welcoming and efficient. Hotel and rooms are really clean. Only eaten in the bar area but the menu is good for a bar menu and food is good quality. Breakfast is a buffet but with good quality ingredients and there is a good choice for everyone. Also has a well equipped gym. Have stayed here about 5 times now and can’t fault it.

Apparently this hotel tells its guests at check in that if you want your room cleaned you need to tell reception. I’m made to believe they do this at check in ( that was not the case) So you can imagine my horror and disgust when I walked into my room at the end of back to back meetings to find the room unclean.When I rang reception- no one answered the phone and when I went down to reception- 2 members of staff chatting away. When I asked about my room - I was told YOU didn’t tell us to clean it- then said - I will call the manager. He went and I was left waiting for over 20mins. Manager eventually came and as a her way of dealing with this issue offered my partner and I drinks. Problem solved!! Beds are comfortable, carpets due a change, rooms not cleaned well, bins rusty, Not great

We stayed on the 14/06 as we had an early flight the next day . Impressed car park availability and with reception and lobby area on arrival. The room however had scuff marks and stains on the walls ,dirty shower grouting ,a dirty toilet and dust on lampshades and aircon grill. Reception staff ( Eleanor ) was very apologetic and moved us to a cleaner room but still dusty . Pillows were lumpy too so not a great sleep . If the cleaning is improved I would have given this 4-5 stars ad the staff attending showed great customer service.

Ticks the box for a one night stay before an early morning flight. Although you can definitely hear the planes throughout the night and morning so not the quietest. Shuttle comes every 30 mins to and from the terminal and costs £4 which I personally think should be included with the room cost. Otherwise clean and comfortable

This hotel is in desperate need of a refresh. The overall appearance is quite tired, it could really benefit from a fresh coat of paint and a thorough deep clean. The beds were extremely soft, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, and the lack of soundproofing meant we were frequently disturbed by other guests coming and going. As well as the noise of the planes! If you're simply looking for somewhere close by and aren't too concerned about comfort or quality of sleep, this place might suit your needs. Otherwise, you may want to consider other options.

Tired Novotel at Stansted airport - access was okay, we arrived at 11.30 pm, tired and ready to hit the bed only the guy on reception kept us there for ages, despite us saying how tired we were and that we'd already paid!! Had to fork out an extra £15 for one night of parking - ridiculous. Our twin room was a bit tight on space although the shower was a decent size. Windows were nailed shut so no fresh air available. Noisy with the airplanes taking off the next morning, seemed to be no attempt to soundproof this airport hotel. Breakfast was decent, no porridge for my gluten free veggie friend, but she was okay with fruit and yoghurt. Highlight was the hashbrowns... All in all, wouldn't choose it again, would opt for somewhere else on our long trip north.

Mr Bernadetta at the reception was not friendly or helpful. Had poor communication skills and not well suited for this role.

Could not understand that we had booked 2 rooms - was not a good experience
