Best Birchanger Hotels

"The hotel itself is very dated and basic but absolutely fine for a night stay before or after a flight. Everything was just perfect for us. Cheap and cheerful for our budget. Staff were helpful and check in/ out easy. Ideal location for Stansted airport as it's literally 5 minutes away from the airport carparks. It's at a welcome break area so KFC, burger king and subway onsite."

"We were doing a self driving trip around London and need to take flight in the early morning next day. This Ramada is my personal highly recommended hotel for anyone who is in the similar situation as us. Check in was really smooth, which is self check right on the reception desk. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Room is clean and I could get whatever I need. The only one unsatisfied point was the strange smell, which I can’t tell where it came."

"Nice room with very comfortable bed, especially the pillows! Convenient to get to the airport, which was a £4 shuttle bus. Parking is £15 per day for guests, which is a bit of a rip-off as this should be free and included in the room rate… but other than that, no complaints. There was air con in the room, which was much needed as it was very hot."

"The location is a bit far from main road but the property is well situated. A clean building but the hot water didn't work in the bathroom (perhaps there needs to be some manual assistance in getting it operated that's if it works). My TV didn't work as there's a faulty connection. There should be some level of noise control in the building as you hear everyone speaking from within next doors. "

"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!"

"Great Lodge is close to the airport (58 mins walking or 14 mins by bus). I wanted a place in nature, and I was served : multiple public footpaths and hiking trail (see picture). The room was clean, spacious and warm. Didn't have soap or conditioner as mentioned, but I didn't need them since I had mine. Check-in and check-out were easy (a person was at the front desk). Thank you"

"Hotel is very close to the airport, but note that the hotel shuttle is 4 pounds (what happened to the days of this service being free? 😭). Staff was a bit of a mixed bag. I was checked in by a rather miserable person, but check-out was polite and friendly. My room said a king bed, but I don't know if UK bed sizes are different, but it was more like a double. Room appeared clean, but I did find some hairs in the sheets that didn't belong to me and one of my pillows looked a little suspect. Fine stay for just a night when you need to be near the airport. Vegan options available for meals, although I didn't eat at the hotel."

"It was good for a 1-night stay for early flights out of Stanstead My only issue was that there was nothing I wanted to eat available on the menu in the evening. Everything I chose was out of stock, so I had to have a small garden salad and nothing else, which was not very filling for a nightly meal. There isn't anywhere else you can go for food so this is the only option. Please note the breakfast is only cold options until after 6am so if you have an early flight you might (like me) just end up with yogurt, and when you only had a garden salad for dinner this is very disappointing. Another note is the shuittle comes once every 30 mins to take you to the airport on the hour and 30 mins past sokeep that in mind when going down for breakfast as well."
