"I stayed here one night before an early flight from stanstead. The hotel is conveniently located about 5 min drive to the airport. The chap at front desk was friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were both clean as was the shower. The room had tea making facilities and a hair dryer. The bed was not so good very bumpy, you could feel the springs, and parking is not free as stated I was charged £6. 50. Overall ok for a one night stay. "

Top The Common Hotel Reviews

Gonville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The reception staff was very very helpful and patient. We had family there and a wedding event in the tent/garden. The setting was just perfect for a wedding group under 90 persons. Its location is very convenient to shops, coffee, restaurants etc. I would definitely stay here again."

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is the budget end of the Holiday Inn chain but it doesn't feel too budget. The check in was stand out in terms of friendliness and efficiency and there was a good choice for breakfast with plenty of food available. It was very busy on the Sunday morning but the team kept on top of it, turning tables around and keeping food stocked. The hotel itself is well located, with good parking (although you have to pay for it but there is a discount code provided by the hotel). It's possible to walk into Cambridge from there though it's a cheap Uber ride to get back. We've visited a few times now and will definitely consider again should we be in the area."

DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

4/10 Poor

"Staff were slow to help and wasn’t great at communication to help us with our queries. Only one pillow each given, bathroom didn’t seem too clean, was really hot even with a fan in the room. The shuttle bus was expensive. I would say I’d only recommend it you’re gonna be arrive late to the hotel and leaving early in morning for flight but then again the transport to the airport is expensive. I’d say if premier Inn isn’t too much more then stay there instead"
