Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"I had a very good night's sleep and the beds are very comfortable."

St Nicholas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the St Nicholas, for a gig at the Castle, which is part of the George over the road where reception, bar, restaurant etc are. Location couldn’t be better. Room was fairly standard, but very clean. A bit noisy as fronted onto the High St but didn’t interrupt our sleep. The George is an old coaching inn and a beautiful building. The staff were all extremely friendly, the bar we used at the end of our night out was full of character and the breakfast served the next morning was excellent."

Holiday Inn Brentwood M25, Jct. 28 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really well run hotel. We had a large room with a super king sized bed. I asked for a softer pillow and housekeeping delivered one within minutes of asking. The pool is only small but it has a great jacuzzi (lovely and hot which often isn’t the case), sauna and steam room. The buffet breakfast was delicious. Obviously it’s not in a beautiful setting as it’s right in the junction of the A12 and M25 but it is a little haven of loveliness."
