Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good
"Hotel seemed very clean. Bed was very comfortable. Nice clean bathroom. Only slight negative is there isn’t that much choice on the evening meal menu (especially for non-meat eaters) and there isn’t that much choice at breakfast. But as it’s at Stansted airport it’s really a travellers hotel and is tailored for such people. I’m probably being a bit tight giving four stars but I can’t give five simply because the slight grumble about food. I’ll definitely be choosing to stay again if I need to spend a night whilst travelling. They have my my loyalty I think."

"The pub next door has a nice garden but randomly closed on Sunday. The sink in our room wouldn’t drain & I reported it to the desk in the morning and nothing was done. The body wash ran out & I told the housekeeper in the morning - it was not replaced so we had to go down to reception later in the day. Randomly our towels were taken away half way through our stay. The floor in the bathroom had loose tiles. Apart from those issues it would have been fine. I also didn’t appreciate the 10 pound per day parking fee."
