Pros:

Good location close to Stansted airport, with regular shuttle bus to and from the airport and hotel (extra cost, payable to the driver). Clean room, clean bathroom. Friendly staff. Breakfast included - breakfast was already out and ready to go by time I came down for the 4am shuttle, so its worth coming down a bit earlier to take advantage of that.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have a face cloth.

Comodo ed efficiente. Colazione top!
Pros:

Hotel a 5 minuti di autobus dall'aeroporto di Stansted grazie alla navetta (pagata 4£ a persona per tratta) con indicazioni sin dall'interno dell'aeroporto chiare. Colazione ottima e ben fornita (sia salata che dolce). Camera ampia e bagno tutto sommato puliti. Check in e check out facili e veloci

Cons:

La moquette potrebbe avere un po' di polvere e dar fastidio agli allergici (consiglio preventivamente un antistaminico). Essendo un 3 stelle non c'è il frigo bar in camera ma al piano terra ci sono delle macchinette automatiche per acqua e altre bevande.

Parfait
Pros:

Hôtel proche de l’aéroport ( 5 minutes de navette )
Chambre propre , calme et confortable
Pour un départ tôt à l’aéroport c’est l’idéal !
Il y a même le petit déjeuner ( réduit toutefois ) à partir de 4h
C’est top 👍🏾

Very convenient for catching an early flight
Pros:

Proximity to the airport. Shuttle bus on time.

Cons:

The shuttle bus should have been free, rather than eight euro round-trip. It was only a five minute ride to the airport.

Great place for access to the airport.
Pros:

Great location for easy airport access. Super staff, there was a mixup with the bookings due to change in software but the staff were very professional and resolved this well.

Cons:

The room furnishings could be cleaner ie sofa, cushions, curtains and carpet. But linen and bathroom were clean.

I booked a double bed, but I only got a single bed. Other than that, the hotel was fine. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
