Five minute drive from the airport, reliable shuttle service, good restaurant, clean rooms. Everything you need to avoid a bad sleep at the airport if your flight leaves at 6am. Recommended

The staff was polite and explained everything perfectly. The room was nice and warm, clean and had everything u need, even some tea and coffee. The breakfast was delicious! It's not far from the Stansted airport and the shuttle comes every 30min.

The Holiday Inn near Stansted Airport might be a bit pricey, but staying here is well worth the expense, especially for an overnight layover. The property offers a shuttle from the Airport to the hotel at a reasonable price, even at late hours,...
