Overall Ratings & Reviews DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

Perfect for a stay before your flight, quick check in and the room had everything needed. Although you had to pay parking which was frustrating, especially when you’re up at 3 and don’t stay the whole night to catch a flight.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Ideal location if needing to stay close to airport to fly out. Hotel is clean, basic and close to Stansted. It's worth availing of the hotel's airport transfer service for an additional charge. Though the hotel is only 1.2 Kilometres from the airport, it is situated in the countryside with narrow, winding roads with no lights or pedestrian path / sidewalk and really not accessible when carrying luggage. Airport taxi charged us £25 for a 6 minute cab ride. They cited an airport premium charge. Stick to the hotel transfer service which is much cheaper.

Stayed here for 1 night ahead of flying from Stansted Airport in the morning and it was very reasonable for the price although saw some mixed reviews about the transfers organised by the hotel so decided to walk to and from the airport - wouldn't recommend as there are no pavements and even by taking a 20 minute shortcut via a cut through the hedges near The Stables/Short Stay Blue Parking, the walk was still 40 minutes to the terminal at minimum. However, the hotel itself was pleasant as staff were friendly and the room was spacious and clean.

Only overnight but handy shuttle bus for airport

Friendly helpful staff comfy bed

No flannels, filthy looking glasses for rinsing after brushing, was hot, no fan in room. You get what you pay for and that’s it. Decent bed and room size.

It's good value for money. Ideal for overnight stay for the airport. However, at the time of booking, there was no mention of £6.50 for parking! So watch out Cotton sheets would've been more comfortable. Coming out of the hotel in the morning, we almost ran into a deer, a sign should be erected for safety.

Staff mostly friendly but reception areas unstaffed at times

Beautiful place to stay

Budget in every sense. Small double bed. 1 pillow each. Noise from upstairs room unbelievable and seemingly unchallenged. Worsed of all bathroom was old, cracked tiles, moulded grout and damp smell.

Comfortable and clean bed but rooms and bathrooms are tired and in need of an update. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Surprised that parking cost extra.

We liked where the hotel was located, it was private and quiet. We liked how clean and nice the panorama Rooms were. We think the WiFi needs to be better as it kept disconnecting and the Service was not very good. We liked that the TV was Bluetooth and had Netflix etc..

Very poor service and room They haven’t done any work since the 1980s

A bit old and dated but was ok for a one night sleep over no plug sockets next to both sides of bed

The hotel is ok...bit of a quirky mismatch decor ..but friendly staff make the stay enjoyable

easy access to the airport and there is a bus directly goes to the airport . and the check in was smooth. good stay prior the flight

Not particularly efficient. Rip off parking for £8.50 when there is nobody around who would try to park there for nothing. Parked across the road.

Staff is good. Cleanliness is not good.

I had the misfortune of being booked into your hotel on the 29/04/2025 for one night. There was only one light working in the entire room, the one nearest to the entrance door. The other three lights were all wall mounted and not working, meaning that i had to almost leave the room to put the light on or off. The room itself looked like it had not been cleaned in years, the thick dust on the carpets and lights etc brought on my allergies. The bathroom was full of mould and cobwebs and again did not inspire any confidence. The bathroom door catch was broken, meaning that it swung wide open and was impossible to shut. From 6 am i was awoken by deliveries next to me room, trollies etc banging into the walls and then internal noises on the corridor from your maid (?) It was the worst hotel I have stayed in for many years and when I informed the reception staff the lady did not seem either surprised nor interested. The hotel was and is not fit for purpose,

Nice hotel big rooms.much further from the airport as i through as im walking they do have a transfer car but expensive 15pounds
