Top Chelmsford City Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Room is clean, good space, big parking lot but full of cars. Good sound proofing, almost hardly hear anything from the plane noise. However neighbours were very noisy, at 4.30am, sounds like there was a party starting, loud music and talks, screaming. Unsure due to the thin walls or this family particularly wanted everyone to know they were up and ready to celebrate."

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

8/10 Good

"Stayed in a twin room, good sized beds which were comfortable with a choice of pillows. Hotel was clean and there was a good choice at breakfast. Wasn’t keen on the parking payment machine being outside the entrance. It took a few minutes to use and you can get quite chilly in the process. It would be much better if it was in the lobby."

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Lovely clean bedding and comfortable bed. There was no coffee or tea despite there being a coffee machine and kettle. The room description said there would be bathrobes and slippers (we were in a suite), but there weren't any. The sink in the ensuite bathroom was a bit tired. Generally, the bathroom could do with a light refresh. Friendly staff on check-in."

Campanile restaurant BASILDON - East of London

8/10 Good

"This booking was for a business trip, accommodation was suitable. Breakfast for good value for money."

Down Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay!!! It would be nicer to check out one hour later. Our room was clean and it had the necessary amenities. The breakfast was free and very nice and parking was free too. The only issue was outside noise from the busy road due to petrol station, M&S and Tobi Carvery. Although, I really recommend it specially for couples."
