Holiday Inn Express LONDON - STANSTED AIRPORT by IHG

Shuttle bus comes every 30 minutes. Impossible to walk to the airport. But inconvenient for night flight. Facilities is bit old. But bed quality and others is ok. Nice service

Overall, it was a nice stay. Breakfast is included for all guests and starts very early, around 4 or 4:30 am, which is really convenient for an airport hotel. The room was fine and I had no major issues. The only thing that bothered me was the airport shuttle. Guests have to pay £4 each way for a journey that only takes about five minutes, which was a bit surprising. This is the first time I’ve stayed at an airport hotel where I had to pay separately for the hotel shuttle.

The hotel is ideal if you need quick access to the airport. The room has everything you need, it was clean, the staff was very smiling, we had a small problem with the room and I asked them to change it, there was no problem on their part. They have breakfast, when it's time to sleep and it starts at 4 am, which is perfect for an early flight. There is also a bus to the airport and back every 30 minutes, its price is 4 pounds. We walked to the hotel, but it's not convenient because there was no pedestrian walkway and we had to go through several roundabouts, which were quite busy. In the morning we decided to use the bus to the airport.

We had originally booked one night but stayed 3. The staff in the restaurant and the Italian manager were of great help which we much appreciated. Thank you!

Great breakfast and it starts at 4am! Great if you are traveling early.

Very convenient airport hotel as it's just 25 minutes walk from the departure terminal. Room was good (clean, comfortable and spacious) and breakfast was very delicious with many choices. The bar was also good. We would definitely use it again in the future.

Located next to airport, but takes 30 mins to walk. Shuttle buses cost 4 pounds. Breakfast starts early at 4 am with limited offerings. Too go cups and bags are available for you to grab the breakfast on your own. Overall not bad

The location and amenities are great, however it’s a bit confusing to have a dedicated hotel shuttle at a cost of £8 return. While there is a public transport (see attached image) within 4-5 minutes walk, even without basic pedestrian infrastructure, it’s easy to reach using Google maps. All that enables the private 3rd party to become successful for offering a paid airport shuttle service.

Great stay at this airport hotel—super convenient for early flights. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet despite being so close to the airport. What really stood out was the breakfast: a good variety of options, fresh, and satisfying. Perfect for a quick and hassle-free stay before traveling.
