The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of Stansted Airport. The room, while not particularly spacious for a family, was clean and well maintained. Reception staff were helpful and welcoming. However, breakfast and restaurant options for vegans or vegetarians (without egg) were rather limited.
One concern arose in the restaurant; a member of staff declined my son’s request to sit at a particular table, stating it was for five guests, though we were three. I explained that we would leave early if seated there, but the request was still refused. We accepted another table, yet later two guests were offered the same table, with the explanation that more people would join them. In fact, no additional guests arrived, and my son was disappointed that he had not been allowed to sit there. The restaurant was not particularly busy that day, which made the situation feel unnecessary.
Great hotel for this price all the things you need and breakfast a bonus has nice tvs although you’re unable to use Netflix or other services apart from Apple TV using the web browser. Showers are very easy and good to use as well as all the other things. These hotels come with more stuff then you would get in a premier in for a cheaper price very good.

The room was clean and the single beds were absolutely huge. I made a mistake with my booking, but the hotel was incredibly helpful and very accommodating in making the necessary changes for me.
The location is good and the walk from the airport arrivals hall is short, but the route was a bit confusing—the signs could have been larger or placed more frequently along the way. Another minor downside was the bathroom shower, which was a bit impractical as water easily ended up all over the floor. Overall, the great service made it a very nice stay!
It was a lovely hotel. Tho only issue was we could hear the lobby music till midnight, As we was on the first floor. The people were lovely and the beds were comfortable honestly best hotel beds I’ve slept in. The view from the hotel room was beautiful I would stay again 100%

I booked a last minute night away with the children: afternoon tea followed by an overnight. The afternoon tea was delicious and I was really well catered for as a vegan diner. The Grand Hall was a beautiful setting for afternoon tea. The children also loved their food - the sandwiches were much simpler for the children and they got seconds based on how delicious they were. Our room was large and had a sofa bed and a cot bed. We enjoyed playing in the grounds including the play area, outdoor chess, boules, the scavenger hunt and the fitness trail. My son also loved playing football in the garden - he was excited that there were goals set up. We had dinner in The Fox Bar and had drinks and played cards in the Grand Hall afterwards. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. We were really excited to find newts in the pond. They would love to stay again. I would love to come for an overnight with my partner to experience it differently without the children.

Our room was spotless , a comfy bed and a good shower , the pool+ hot room area were really good, but for reference there are 3 (members only) aqua aerobics classes a week which use the whole pool , and whose participants’warm up’ prior to the class -so it’s very busy to the class , there are a great selection of (pre bootable )classes , treatments and a well equipped gym (all obviously open to members ) , the meal options are delicious, and the staff are charming
Very quiet area you could swarm an apocalypse had happened
If you require medication put in the fridge ask the female receptionist the male is nasty and just outright refused
Breakfast is good and restaurant attached to hotel is good
Also Manager of restaurant is great

Beautiful hotel and grounds, well decorated room with everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing, with perfect poached eggs! All the staff we met were friendly and helpful.The Lychee Martini was an excellent recommendation too! Obviously, there was some aeroplane noise, but it didn't affect our stay. Would definitely recommend, and we look forward to our next stay!

GGuest UserJust a few points of feedback:
I paid for breakfast up front - which was meant to be open from 7am. However, what really happened was that breakfast (prepared by the Receptionist - who was very helpful) started to be prepared from 7am-ish. Coffee, microwave toastie, juice etc duly handed over in a paper bag (I was not the only one waiting) - but this was not ready 'till ~7.20am. Makes a difference if you need to eat and get on your way.
Also, £2.50 for the car-park - why? It's not the money - just the impression given.
The restaurant is Indian cooking - which I enjoyed. Waiter was pleasant and efficient.
Room was basic. Clean but a few cobwebs in the cupboards. No AC.

BBrendantongWe stay there as this hotel has a swimming pool. So, we are happy as not many people in the swimming pool and we can go anytime we want no need to book in advance. They only take a small area for swimming lessons so the normal guests can use more space.
DDens wowThe location and amenities are great, however it’s a bit confusing to have a dedicated hotel shuttle at a cost of £8 return. While there is a public transport (see attached image) within 4-5 minutes walk, even without basic pedestrian infrastructure, it’s easy to reach using Google maps.
All that enables the private 3rd party to become successful for offering a paid airport shuttle service.

GGuest UserI am going to make a point about the service in Novotel: I was greeted by Gita and she has done an absolute excellent job. I have asked for a quiet room so I can have some sleep as had an early flight. I have passed my special thank you to Gita when I was leaving, through a receptionist man, early morning. The hotel room was ready on my arrival but obviously it needs updating as looks scratchy, and shabby but it didn't effect me at all, for night before the flight it was excellent! I would definitely recommend the hotel and will be back again. Many thanks to Gita and manager Jastina.
SSamuelThe hotel staff were very nice and kind. Upon arrival we had a lot of bags and the staff made sure we got a room on ground floor and there was a trolley to move our items at once.
We were indoors all the time so cleaning staff left our room to give us privacy. Next morning we requested to have our room cleaned and in 5 mins there was someone there to clean. So efficient!!
