Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, courteous staff, proximity to terminal"
MOXY London Stratford
10/10 Excellent
"
Stayed at Moxy Stratford multiple times and it never disappoints. Rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. The TV is easy to connect to with Netflix and YouTube, and the sensor lights by the bed are a great touch for night-time trips to the bathroom.
The location is excellent — very easy access from Stratford station, plus convenient bus links to Stansted via Flibco and National Express.
Check-in is flexible and straightforward, and the check-in/lounge area is a good space if you need to wait or spend some time there. Late check-out is also great value at just £10.
I’ve stayed here more than five times and will definitely continue coming back."

"I have stayed at this hotel three times. During my first stay, I was given a newer room, which was very nice. On my second and third stays, I got older rooms, but they were still clean and comfortable. I slept well each night. The staff were nice and friendly throughout my visits. Parking was available for a fee, but it was reasonably priced (£6.20 per night) and there were plenty of spaces. Overall, I had a good stay there."
