"Lovely little spot near to the station and local amenities. The room was clean and comfortable. The lift is a bit small but not complaints. The shower and bathroom was functional. Stayed for a night and ticked the boxes. "
"An amazing apartment for a nights stay, had everything that we needed and more. Complex was very secure, key codes worked great, will keep in mind for future trips."
"Great location and size for a one bedroom! Recommend they fix the running toilet and add a fan since it gets hot with the windows shut during the day. Very clean and convenient surrounding area. "
"An outstanding property, I couldn’t fault this place. Very clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The host was very professional at check in. Very secure for parking. I will definitely stay here again if visiting the area. Shops only 5 minutes walk. A true home from home feel from start to finish"
"Enjoyed the stay very much. Owner was very helpful and responsive.
The apartment had everything you need for a family stay - cooking, utensils, washing.
There’s no housekeeping during the stay and stairs to take, something to bear in mind "
"The apartment was nice and spacious. However only two towels were provided for 4 people, upon asking for more we received back a message to say there was more in the cupboard unfolded. These towels were dirty with stains on them. The apartment was quite dusty and bathrooms were not the cleanest, the owner of the property explained the cleaners were busy however offered no apology. Upstairs noises all night, and had to shut windows as outside traffic and noise from neighbours. "

"Reception
The staff on reception went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. We travelled to Braintree to celebrate my 80th birthday as our family is somewhat scattered, with our eldest daughter living in Braintree.
We had booked 3 rooms and the wonderful reception staff allowed my daughter access to each room to leave special gifts for us and balloons in my room.
There was even a birthday card and prosecco from the hotel.
Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with vegetarian sausages for one of my family. In all, nothing was too much trouble. We were able to order taxi's from the hotel to the venue and the bar was open for a nightcap on our return.
A huge thank you to all at the Holiday Inn Express Braintree for helping make my birthday so memorable.

"Staff are attentive and do a good job of listening to their customers. Excellent transportation with the neighboring station for Cambridge, London and Stansted airport. Trains do create some noise but not an issue unless the windows are open. Food and drink options at the hotel are good, and the next door pub has additional choices."
"Pros: really clean, modern, felt safe, professional and helpful staff, dining options available, nice shower and comfortable bed.
Cons: limited parking and directed to a car park that is 8 mins walk away.
Full review:
Great modern room, staff at the front desk were professional and helpful, the shower was fantastic and the bed really comfortable. I had a great nights sleep. The room was very clean!
I didn’t take the breakfast option, but one was available and there were also dinner options, although again i didn’t take them.
With hotels, I need to feel safe and comfortable and this hotel felt exactly that. The only con during my stay was that the parking was full when i arrived so they directed me to an alternative car park which was 8 mins walk away - something i didn’t feel like doing in the dark in an area i don’t know well. Luckily i found overnight parking nearby but i wouldn’t let this stop me from returning."
"Convenient if you have a really early flight from Stansted as it is a very short walk to the terminal. I booked a runway view room but I wasn't lucky enough to actually see any runway action from the planes. In fact it was completely empty in my view and I could only see planes parked far in the distance. It was more of a “plane parking view” rather than a “runway view”"
"Our stay was very comfortable — the rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff were polite, friendly, and always ready to help. Would definitely stay again!
"
"Staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. The rooms were fairly dark which made reading difficult. My only negatives would be the bathroom was very small with no hanging space and the wet towels I’d put on the shower floor to be replaced were refolded and put back to reuse. Also, our toilet roll wasn’t replaced. These were very quickly replaced when mentioned to reception though."
