Top Hempstead Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The shuttles were fairly regular but for some reason they este saying bay 28 and its not. Instead I saw a sign for holiday inn and got on that coach. Note its £4 per journey. Checking took a minute and my room was at the back overlooking woods so it was peaceful. It is close to m&s shop and McDonald's so you do have options for food. A kettle was provided which I used to make tea. The floor could have done with a vacuum but otherwise the toom was decent. I liked having a sofa to watch tv rather than the bed or a chair. The hotel did provide breakfast at 4pm but its such a rush to eat and get the shuttle so I just took some cereals and learned that coffee is not allowed on the shuttle."

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely welcome and such a nice surprise to be upgraded for our anniversary. Bed was huge and really comfy. Meal was excellent in the restaurant and couldn’t be a more perfect location for an early flight. Stayed many times and would not hesitate to stay here again for our next trip out of Stansted. Thank you to the staff for making our stay special"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

8/10 Good

"We had an enjoyable stay.All aspects very pleasing - especially the Indian food dishes which we ordered. Breakfasts very good too. We had a well-appointed room, spacious and suitable for my disabled wife. My only criticism is about policy of only servicing rooms when asked for; regular daily servicing means any problems are seen and can be dealt with sooner rather than later. Care for environment can be seen to by asking simply for thoughtful use of towels - avoid unnecessary washing. Thank you."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Hempstead cost?

Budget hotel prices in Hempstead vary, but you can find a great deal from £58 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.

Which area of Hempstead is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Hempstead, focusing your search on areas just outside the immediate town centre, particularly those with good public transport links, will yield the best options for cheap hotels. While Hempstead itself is a smaller market town, looking towards neighbouring areas or slightly further afield can often uncover better value without sacrificing too much convenience.

Consider exploring accommodations in towns such as Hemel Hempstead or St Albans, which are well-connected by bus and train services to Hempstead. These larger towns tend to have a broader selection of budget hotels, including well-known chains that offer competitive rates. Solo travellers will find the public transport systems in these areas efficient, making day trips into Hempstead straightforward and affordable.

Alternatively, some smaller guesthouses or bed and breakfasts a short drive or bus ride from Hempstead might offer more personal service at an attractive price point. These options often provide a quieter stay and a chance to experience the local charm, which can be a pleasant bonus for solo explorers.

When is the most affordable time to visit Hempstead?

The most affordable time to visit Hempstead is typically during the off-peak seasons, specifically late autumn (November) and late winter (February to early March), outside of school holidays. During these periods, you'll find lower prices on accommodation and potentially cheaper transport options as demand lessens.

For solo travellers, visiting in these quieter months means you can often secure better deals on guesthouses and smaller hotels. The weather might be cooler, but you'll experience a more tranquil side of Hempstead, great for exploring its charming streets and local attractions without the crowds. Many local eateries also offer seasonal specials, providing value for money.

Families looking for budget-friendly travel should also consider these shoulder seasons. While the weather might not be ideal for extensive outdoor activities, many indoor attractions remain open, and the reduced number of tourists makes for a more relaxed visit.

Is Hempstead a budget-friendly destination?

While Hempstead is generally considered a more affluent area, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, consider charming guesthouses or self-catering options slightly outside the immediate village centre, which often provide better value. Solo travellers might also find independent bed and breakfasts a more affordable and personal option compared to larger hotels.

Couples can enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside and quaint village atmosphere without spending a fortune. Many of Hempstead's attractions are free, such as walking or cycling along the picturesque footpaths and bridleways, exploring the historic village church, or simply enjoying a picnic in one of the local green spaces.

Dining can be kept affordable by making use of local farm shops and delis for picnic supplies, or by seeking out traditional pubs for reasonably priced lunch menus.

How can I save on a budget hotel in Hempstead with Expedia?

There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Hempstead. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Hempstead as a package?

Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Hempstead for you.
