Top Dunmow Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very comfortable. The bar staff were excellent and the service good. Would recommend the goats cheese salad it was delicious"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was good for £58 a night just before flying. The lady behind the desk was absolutely lovely when we checked in. The rooms were clean but they miss out on detailed cleaning but for one night, it isn’t an issue. Room was huge, we walked in and said ‘woah’! Very close to the airport, easy bus services that drop you off just outside the services. Also very close to multi different food places and they had their own separate car park from the services one."

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Clean hotel, great staff and good location. Shuttle bus runs every half an hour but there is a charge here - something you aren’t told when booking or when calling to enquire. There’s no EV charging points either and it is extremely noisy. We were staying at the front near the shuttle drop and you could hear every time it’s came and went. Patrons are also very noisy, we were frequently woken by people coming and going, not just a bit of noise, lots of shouting and laughing. Walls are also super thin, we could hear people next door and above us."

Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Health Club

6/10 Okay

"Lovely but needs some T LC. Nice pool .Would stay again as local to family. Pleasant staff. Room ok but could do a little better Seemed short staffed in some areas i.e. housekeeping and brasserie/kitchen. Staff responded to and resolved most issues with room and food that were below par! Issues that should not really have been present in the first place for any estabishment. Not wishing to be unfair but note should be taken by senior staff to improve when guests kindly advise manager of misgivings and problems with rooms etc. Not the fault of staff if they are untrained or short staffed and stretched. Stains on furniture in room. Cleaning missed one day. Brasserie has no windows. Not as nice in the brasserie as the photos suggest with high ceilings and 1970's offfice style polystyrene tiles some of which were missing. Shame is does not look out to grounds especially on a summer evening. Nice staff but not all had the professionalism expected The grandeur has slipped. One manager has tinted glasses.and no head for business. Opportunity missed of future business by this manager. I am sure if I had spoken to the gentleman on duty, the night before, the response to the suggestion of future work/events/bookings would have been more positive than "it's on the general website" at request for contact name and info. Reception 1st answer to concerns was to request I send in a email! I was infront of them! Ladies changing room is down winding stairs. Lovely pool,"

Signature Hotel London

8/10 Good

"Stayed for 2 nights whilst travelling for work. It's fine, the room was clean and decent size and is air-conditioned, but... There's a bit of a lack of attention to detail in the fixtures and fittings... The bed was very squeaky, there was a worrying "soft" square on the floor, the en-suite door opens inwards in to the bathroom making it difficult to close and open the door when your actually in the small bathroom, there was a gap between the blinds and no curtains, so I got woken each morning by the sun streaming in at around 4:50am... I should say I didn't raise any of this with the hotel whilst I was there - so perhaps it was just this room..."
