Stansted Airport Lodge

Horrible place, absolutely foul. Dirty, smelly, folks smoking cannabis, no heat in one of the rooms, torn curtains like a back-end brothel; it is cheap, I suppose what do you expect. I couldn’t even stay there because of the problem with the heat in the first room and then in the second room the smell was so unbearable I told the manager I had to leave. They refused to give me my money back. Horrible: avoid like the plague; this is the result of part-time, thirsty, money grabbing immigrant landlords who take advantage of the lack of regulation in this sector and effectively cheat folks out of their money. Nobody will want to stay here, please please please, do yourself a favour and pay 20 quid more for the peace of mind that you won’t be murdered in your sleep. Perhaps murder is a little strong but, when you first park up and a guy comes right up to your car and says, “who are you? Are you staying here? What’s your room number?!” It’s a but like…erm…what? Where? Who? Why? Goodbye.

Arrived very late, flight delays and then a road closure forcing a substantial detour. Thankfully my room card had been left out with a useful note and I was able to access the room. It was cold, no curtains, and couldn't figure out the heating but the bed was warm and that was all I cared about! Shower okay in the morning, Job done. Thanks.

Was made to feel very welcome when we got there.

Everything very poor

Room was cold, water was cold. No staff at check out in the morning.

For an overnight stay so close to Stansted airport at a very reasonable price this was ideal

If I could give no stars I would. Please give this dive a swerve. It’s dirty, advertised it has a restaurant but hasn’t and there are only non speaking immigrant staff who are not happy to help!!

Good :- very close to the airport Room was a good size and warm. Bad:-Shower a trickle all scaled up ; floor slippery,not bath mat had to put the towal on the floor to get out of the shower. No hairdry in room as advertised. Bed lumpy, very uncomfortable. Did sleep much. Could do with a lot off improvements. Wouldn't stay again or recommend.

I couldn't open my room's door and the receprionist was aware of this problem already. it's not very safe. When I got home, I received a fine for parking. The receptioinst didn't tell me about parking restrictions.

Good location but very limited evening bus service from the airport. The 308 arrives at the airport from Great Dunmow at about 21.20 and returns immediately to Takeley, before going out of service. My driver was prepared to take me to Takeley Street / Stansted Airport Lodge as it was on her way back to the depot. This bus isn't shown on any of the airport timetables.

This was convenient and the room was clean. On arrival the man on reception did not smile or welcome us, and asked us to wait while he went to the toilet. He came out with wet hands which he shook hard to dry them. I was then charged £6.10 to park my car outside. He again asked us to wait while he put towels and pillow cases in the room. He never mentioned food but there was a poster about it in the room. However, no sign of it - we ate at the Green Man. We had to leave for our flight at 2.30am and got very little sleep because of a loud party of men downstairs until after midnight. In the morning there were numerous lager cans in reception (photo available!)

The restaurant was not open and I had booked because of this facility. My last night was noisy. The room itself was fine and the staff helpful.

Convenient location in close proximity to Stanstead airport. The 508 bus is handy to be dropped off within 100yds and get back to the airport again. Room info needed updating as no dining options. TV signal was hit and miss and my shower was leaking. However, I would use this place again due to convenient location and reasonable price.

Bed bugs in the bed

The worst hotel I have stayed in with not so good consequences for me as I write this. First, I booked this hotel because it was on the cheaper side and I just needed somewhere to stay before my trip in the morning. I had a flight first thing at Stansted. Getting to the hotel without a car is an absolute nightmare. Don't bother taxis will charge you excessively, and you are better off staying a bit further away. When I arrived at my Uber it wasn't clear where the entrance was, the pictures don't match the building I was in and the room I stayed in. I was greeted by a man who I don't think speaks to people in general. Finally was told my room on the first floor, room 27, and found my way pretty quickly. By midnight on 18th August, I dropped my bags and went to sleep. Woke up at 8.30 am got dressed got my things ready and was out of the hotel by 9.30 am that same day. After dropping off my luggage at baggage at around 10 am I started to get a slight red spot on my face. By the time I had completed my journey which was 10 pm UK time I was covered in rashes over my arm, chest, neck, ears, face all the places that were left open when I slept on the bed at the hotel. It was like I had been bitten by mosquitos. As soon as I landed at my destination I had to go straight to the hospital. They described it as an allergic reaction but I am not allergic to anything and as for that day and week I did nothing differently apart from staying there. Don't make my mistake, stay away!

Stop off for a flight from stanstead a bit noisy with people moving around with cases through the night and very basic but was fine for what we needed

Guy on reception was friendly and chatty but that was the only positive. The place just feels unloved, old tatty carpet, damp smell, dusty, mouldy smell, bed was bit uncomfy, half a toilet roll, light bulb missing, cracked wobbly bathroom tiles, door bashes sink if opened fully, no shower curtain, limescale on showerhead, tiles still dirty, streaky mirrors and most annoying 1 coffee sachet! I use two per cup. Definitely not value for money. Wasnt expecting much for £50 but cleanliness was lacking. No attention to detail eg linen sticker from laundry still on sheet

I stayed one night as I needed the airport close. Nice staff at reception, quick check-in, car park. The room and the bathroom were very spacious but level of cleanliness quite low (I had to get rid of dirty bed sheets myself). Comfortable bed

Ideal for what it does,stay overs for a morning flight.

Price was good as well as location and staff were friendly, however there was no hot water so I could not use the facilities. The main door to the building was left open all night which made me feel unsafe and people were slamming doors and talking into the early hours of the morning. The door to my room did not lock properly either and the room in general was not clean at all.
