Hilton London Stansted Airport Hotel

I don’t like when Parking is mandatory but not included in the price! Neither when you can not properly open the window

I stayed at the Hilton as a result of having some loyalty points spare and a late night flight getting into the nearby Stansted Airport before heading back to Edinburgh. It’s a five minute coach ride from the airport to the hotel which costs £3 per person (be aware that if you are tavelling in a group of 3 or more it may be cheaper to get a taxi).
The hotel is up to the usual Hilton standard with comfortable beds, nice sized rooms and your usual free wifi, TV etc. It was a nice touch to have a couple of small bottles of red wine, some olives and chocolates waiting in the room on arrival and they probably helped get a great night’s sleep.
I didn’t have a chance to at in the hotel in the morning as we were dashing back to Edinburgh.

Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Had dinner at the restaurant and the quality and taste was amazing. Had the double decker burger which one of the best burgers I have had.

I’m obligated to give them only 1 star, simply because of the crappiest WiFi available to the world. You’re not sure if you want to laugh or cry for how utterly useless and shitty their WiFi is. It constantly disconnects, in fact it throws you out simply by just trying to connect to it. I had to try getting it back 5 times just writing this review. Forget streaming, forget Skype or FaceTime, you are lucky if you can surf and check your email without having to spend what’s left of your stay reconnecting. Embarrassing and terrible for a hotel like this. Everything else is fine and I’m surprised they can’t get a simple thing like WiFi right. Reporting doesn’t seem to make any difference (I’m a frequent returning guest), the company responsible reportedly claims it’s fine. Get your lazy asses down here and see for yourself, or Hilton please, get another provider. Although I’m thankful for having free WiFi included in my deal, shame on you for charging for this shit. This sucks!

We had a relatively pleasant stay at the hotel. The charge of £3 per person to go from the airport to the hotel seemed a bit excessive, as really, you’re completely at their mercy if you’re without a car.
I think the best way to think of this hotel is to ignore that it’s meant to be a Hilton, and really remember that first and foremost, it’s an airport hotel. The staff were really friendly, and went to some lengths to help me print my boarding passes when the 2 computers in the business centre wouldn’t play ball. I noticed they were working fine later, and I imagine it was just a reboot situation. They have a Mac and PC that are free to use, and there was no charge for printing.
The room was clean, and a bit small with a distinct budget feel. But it was quiet, and the bed was firm but passable.
We didn’t have breakfast but we did have dinner in the hotel restaurant, and while it’s not amazing, it was nicer than we expected. Again though, you’re a bit beholden to them, and if the restaurant hadn’t been acceptable, you’d be in trouble as you’re really in the middle of nowhere.
I’d definitely stay again for a night before a flight, but not more than just the one night!

This is almost a three star hotel, but I can feel justified giving it two because as a Hilton, it’s a cool, tee letdown. Hilton should be embarrassed.
This is an «economy» hotel to say the least. The lobby and restaurant have obviously been renovated, but alas, this did not continue to the rooms.
Very shabby.
If I weren’t so tired, I would have left.

This hotel is pretty much what you expect for an airport hotel. It was clean, surprisingly quiet although the bed was a bit hard. But I’ll forgive that as there was unexpectedly free wifi — score!
The food here was surprisingly good even though the menu was like a copy editor’s nightmare! But seriously, it doesn’t need to be as good due to the rather captive audience but I was pleasantly surprised by it.
The only cheek is the £3 each way per person fee for the coach, which there really isn’t any other option other than using. But all in all, the hotel is perfectly acceptable if you have an early flight — i’d stay here again if this happens once more.

Prepare to pay for the airport shuttle as well as parking. The pick up location doesn’t have much of a shelter so you may be standing in the cold wind for 30 minutes waiting. The hallways smell funny, almost like cat urine. The carpet in our room was badly stained in spots. There isn’t a usb plug or convenient place to plug devices in anywhere in the room. Hotel rooms need to be updated.

If you think this hotel is at the airport think again! It’s a £11 taxi from the airport if your flight gets in after the hotel shuttle stops for the night.
They then put me in a room with 2 single beds. I tried to call reception and the phone is broken.
The room was inexpensive, however when you see a Hilton brand room going cheap you think you’re getting a good deal, and not getting a cheap room with a Hilton badge on it.
I took the shuttle back to the airport the next day, and it was 10mins late, causing me to miss my connecting bus.
Wifi is stupidly expensive too. It’s one redeeming feature is 12pm checkout.

Previous visit was very poor, hot noisy rooms and stroppy staff.
After a break of three years I stayed there again with some colleagues. The room was 24C. I selected 18C and maximum fan. In the morning the room temperature was 26 C and the’airconditioning’vent too hot to touch. My colleagues reported the same! Lots of door slamming during the night. I reported the high temperature to a lady at reception in the morning expecting an apology but she just sniggered.
There are many good hotels in this area all much better than this one!!!

Not a bad place to spend the night, but one piece of advice — check the alarm clock to make sure it doesn’t go off at 3 am from the previous occupier.
There was a convenient machine at the end of the hall that dishes out toothbrushes and toothpaste and things of the like.
Beds are nice, rooms are clean. A-​ok.

Not a bad place to stay on a layover in London. Hotel shuttle to and from the airport every ½ hour for 2 euros each way. Clean rooms although the walls are a little thin. Pretty good food in the bar. Wake up call right on time.

The name «London Stansted» is about as deceptive as the name «Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim». In short, the Anaheim Angels are nowhere near Los Angeles in the same way Stansted airport is nowhere near London.
Although it can be incredibly inconvenient, there will be at least one occasion in every Londoners life when he or she will choose to fly from Stansted because RyanAir has fooled them once again into thinking they’ve struck a bargain, when they’ll in fact end up spending far more just getting to Stansted from Clapham. However, there are also those occasions when we wait until the very last minute to book our Christmas flights to Ireland and realize that the only affordable flights remaining are from Stansted. That is what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Not only was my flight out of Stansted, but it was departing at 6:20am. The horror! The horror! My darling boyfriend and I decided to look into booking a hotel for the night prior in an effort to salvage some small bit of Christmas joy and festive spirit, as we all know the London transport system doesn’t exactly cater to early morning Stansted flights, and that sort of start to your holidays is sure to end in some kind of emotional break down.
We found a room at the «London» Stansted Hilton for 45 pounds and decided to go for it. And now I must tell you: you won’t find better value for money in this town, baby! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The room was spotless. There were Crabtree & Evelyn products in the bathroom. There was a giant flat screen tv. The bar food was good. The beer was good. The spa was great and as a guest you get 20% off! To be perfectly honest, after an hour at the Hilton I was ready to accidentally ‘miss’ my flight and spend Christmas right there with my new family. The Hilton family. Alas, it could not be so. At 3:45am we got our wake-​up call and our shuttle bus collected us at the front door promptly at 4:15am. We were then dropped at the airport and off we went, having had a fantastic night and a great sleep. I cannot recommend this hotel more! The Hilton has delightedly changed the way I feel about Stansted Airport… I mean London Stansted Airport!
