Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Ramada Stansted was excellent. The room was spotlessly clean throughout. The beds were like a dream and the bed linen and towels were excellent. The staff on reception were friendly and welcoming and on entering the Ramada, you could see how inviting and clean the reception was. We did not have time for a breakfast, due to our early flight. However, we have had many deliciously tasting cooked breakfast at this particular Ramada in the past and really enjoyed it. When we stayed on 2nd September, the man on reception was fantastic, very helpful and very welcoming, which was a bonus straight away. We would give him 5 Stars *******."

"A lovely old-fashioned vibe permeates this hotel and the customer service is similarly first class. For the price of a bog standard chain hotel, one can enjoy a distinctly civilised stay in a grand old hotel set amidst lovely grounds on the edge of London. I'd highly recommend it."
