I had a short stay at the Novotel Stansted from 17th to 19th September 2024. Overall the experience was quite a pleasant one. The hotel building is fairly large and quite spacious with a couple of check-in desks in a fairly well presented reception area. The hotel is understandably very busy as it is located a shuttle bus ride away from Stansted Airport. Although the check-in wait-times was very reasonable, I did prebook and would advise that you do this where possible as this is a very busy hotel. The site has a huge parking facility which can accommodate a few hundred vehicles but it is still a challenge to find a place to park, largely due to its proximity to the airport. I stayed in a double room with a nice comfortable bed, not so smart TV, mini-fridge, free WIFI, desk & chair and a lovely comfortable armchair. The wash-room facilities are quite spacious and include a double shower, WC and sink with a double sided extendable mirror for shaving. There is a small gym on site which seems to be well equipped with machines for cardio and also for those who enjoy using weights. The refreshments area is also very well presented with a well stocked mini-bar for those who enjoy a tipple and for those who choose to go alcohol free. The dining facilities are of a reasonably good standard and food is served late into the early hours and the menu is large and varied. You can choose from steak, beef, chicken, fish all served with fries, potatoes and a variety of veg and salad. They also cater for guest who prefer non-meat and dairy foods. There is also a snack-bar which serves soft drinks, hot beverages, sandwiches, pies and the like. I ordered a Spicy Chicken Panini, which turned out to be a small role which was very pricy at £12 and in truth, it was an offence to refer to it as chicken because whatever substance was present, was facilitated in very tiny shavings, so I would strongly recommend that you avoid. In total contrast, the breakfast was a pleasant surprise. It contained everything you might expect from an English and also a continental breakfast, was very well presented and very tasty. Overall, if you choose to stay at the Novotel Stansted, you will not be disappointed.

“Perfect for airport stay with parking”

Clean, modern room and en-suite, comfortable bed, pleasant staff, only 7 minutes to airport by shuttle bus, and an ideal place to leave your car while away.

Clean, modern room and en-suite, comfortable bed, pleasant staff, only 7 minutes to airport by shuttle bus, and an ideal place to leave your car while away. We only stayed one night and didn't get a chance to use any of the hotel facilities, leaving early in the morning. However, we experienced no issues during our brief stay and would not hesitate to use this hotel again.

“Perfect start to our holiday”

Had a lovely stay at Novotel. Room lovely and clean and very comfortable. Also had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Our server Dimitar was amazing. Very friendly and very good at his job. The food was cooked to perfection. A very enjoyable meal.

“Staying at the Novotel the night before my flight got my holiday off to a good start.”

I had a very early flight in the morning so I stayed at the Novotel the night before. The room was great and I had a good sleep. I found all the staff friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was very good. My waiter Eric was a bonus. He was knowledgable about the menu and had a very … Több

I had a very early flight in the morning so I stayed at the Novotel the night before. The room was great and I had a good sleep. I found all the staff friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was very good. My waiter Eric was a bonus. He was knowledgable about the menu and had a very happy and open attitude. My stay made a good start to my holiday. Note that there is a shuttle between the hotel and the airport which runs at half hour intervals so check the times to fit with your departure.
