Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"I’d say three star… I’ve stayed here often over the past few years and tend to enjoy it, but it’s starting to feel a bit tired. The carpets in the corridor were dirty, the room didn’t have a smart TV, amenities in the room were a bit dated. Could do with updating. Also: The bar is expensive."

The Essex Golf and Country Club

8/10 Good

"Overall, the stay was ok. I was not a fan of the connecting door in the room that had no visible lock on my side, which made the stay slightly uncomfortable. The Spa could do with some work, with the sauna door blowing open every 20 seconds and gaps in the Steam room tiles creating cold drafts. The Breakfast was good, but I was never actually welcomed or spoken to. So there might have been things I missed that I was unaware of. That being said, it was a buffet style, so fairly self explanatory."
