This was a disgusting place to stay, and I will not be recommending this to anyone that is interested in staying close to STN airport. The staff was rude, and they were very loud until close to 4 am - smoking and yelling outside the windows. The windows also couldn't close all the way, and everything smelled like cigarette smoke.

A bit surreal, the place was devoid of staff, night or day! The room was clean but tiny and very sparse of comfort, which is OK for one night but does not match the price.
Also the name Airport Lodge is deceptive, it is 10' ride by taxi and that was 16 pounds. The following day i tried the local bus but it came 45´ late. At least, it was only 2 pounds.

Stansted Airport Lodge needs updating / renovating

Conveniently placed, closer to the airport. Fairly clean room but it needs updating, renovating the floors and put new tiles. Currently, the tiles are a hazard as someone is likely to trip and fall especially on the right as you walk into the room. The towels were stained as is shown on the picture. The remote control for the television is broken and needs replacing. Thank you.

This hotel is only to be considered for a night's stay between travel. We were a bit surprised Wotif would list the hotel as it is , as noted by a reviewer, closer to a hostel than a hotel. Still, the shower was hot and towels were supplied on asking. And the wifi worked. And we slept just fine. The bus to the airport was close by. I would be looking elsewhere next time, unless I was on a really tight budget.

Not a place to recommend

This definitely is dont judge on first appearance!!
Arrived & paked in the only 1 disabled space, but 1s better than none. Entered into a spacious reception & greeted politely, oyr roon was just to the right so access ideal. We opened the room door & thought geeat a good size
Unfortunately thats were the praise ends!! The room had damaged flooring a bed with no headboard no mattress or pillow protectors, only 1 towrl in the room a kettle that did not work lights that didnt work & although there was wifi instructions in the reception & room neither worked.
The bathroom had rust and rails that fell apart - the shower had missing rail connections so you coukdnt adjust the height.
On our return in the evening the parking area was completely full, random vehicles including lots of taxis so no where to park

They suggedted i move again but i asked for a replacement tv which arrived but the screen was sticky-taped on and with no coax cable i couldd not get local tv channels. The rooms were tired and worn and need a refit. Very basic budget accomodation.

Very Basic. Bed was OK. Only one towel which got wet as the shower had no curtain at its end, so water sprayed out. No food so I had to walk a mile and a half to a pub and back in the heat of June 21st. Not good for my age bracket (elderly). Very handy for Stansted airport (which is why I booked it) but the taxi cost me about £25 for a 7 minute trip! I wouldn't go again.

Booked because the plane was arriving so late at night & wanted a nights sleep before having to drive home. Later realised that hotel didn’t have 24 hour check in so if plane was delayed we wouldn’t be able to check in. Booked another hotel instead. Very annoyed that a hotel describing itself as an “airport” hotel does not make this clear up front.

Convenient but basic.

This place is for convenience, not luxury! The room I was given was next to a busy road and also a residents room who had the TV on quite loud most of the night!
The bed was fine, but the bathroom in poor condition and smelly. The staircase and landing area was also dirty.
The only plus was it being a short bus ride to and from the airport.

It was... almost all right. People over the phne friendly and lovely. Place... well, poor. No way around it - its poor, dirty. It was priced accordingly, but yes - by far the worse we tried. Would I use again? In company of 3 mates and 2 bottles - possibly. With my lady - no, I think I wouldn't. It actually was less than enough. Very sorry (hate leaving bad reviews, especially when staff nice), but this really was a poor place. I suggest to spend 20 quid more on something else.

It wasn’t unclean, but felt like it was; it was more worn out. There was a wierd smell in the air. It says it has a restaurant and bar, but not at 9pm it didn't. They told me it was better to order a take away, but the wait times were too long. So i ended up without (should have bought a sandwich before getting my Uber). There was no transport to or from the hotel (or i.would get a bus and.walk 27 minutes) which is why I got an Uber.

Not sure this place a suitable for anyone

My stay was really terrible. The staff was very unfriendly. My room door initially didn’t want to lock and that made me feel very unsafe … the manager got really annoyed with as he insisted I could work the door but even he struggle locking it. I got so upset and started crying as I felt extremely unsafe. Even after I asked to be moved to another room he made it clear that my room was the best in the place. But if that was the best then I seriously don’t want to see what the worst room looks like. I also didn’t have any towels in my room and had go and ask for some. Absolutely terrible service.

Horrible place, absolutely foul. Dirty, smelly, folks smoking cannabis, no heat in one of the rooms, torn curtains like a back-end brothel; it is cheap, I suppose what do you expect. I couldn’t even stay there because of the problem with the heat in the first room and then in the second room the smell was so unbearable I told the manager I had to leave. They refused to give me my money back. Horrible: avoid like the plague; this is the result of part-time, thirsty, money grabbing immigrant landlords who take advantage of the lack of regulation in this sector and effectively cheat folks out of their money. Nobody will want to stay here, please please please, do yourself a favour and pay 20 quid more for the peace of mind that you won’t be murdered in your sleep. Perhaps murder is a little strong but, when you first park up and a guy comes right up to your car and says, “who are you? Are you staying here? What’s your room number?!” It’s a but like…erm…what? Where? Who? Why? Goodbye.

This was convenient and the room was clean. On arrival the man on reception did not smile or welcome us, and asked us to wait while he went to the toilet. He came out with wet hands which he shook hard to dry them. I was then charged £6.10 to park my car outside. He again asked us to wait while he put towels and pillow cases in the room. He never mentioned food but there was a poster about it in the room. However, no sign of it - we ate at the Green Man. We had to leave for our flight at 2.30am and got very little sleep because of a loud party of men downstairs until after midnight. In the morning there were numerous lager cans in reception (photo available!)

Avoid at all cost = bed bugs/unclean

The worst hotel I have stayed in with not so good consequences for me as I write this. First, I booked this hotel because it was on the cheaper side and I just needed somewhere to stay before my trip in the morning. I had a flight first thing at Stansted. Getting to the hotel without a car is an absolute nightmare. Don't bother taxis will charge you excessively, and you are better off staying a bit further away. When I arrived at my Uber it wasn't clear where the entrance was, the pictures don't match the building I was in and the room I stayed in. I was greeted by a man who I don't think speaks to people in general. Finally was told my room on the first floor, room 27, and found my way pretty quickly. By midnight on 18th August, I dropped my bags and went to sleep. Woke up at 8.30 am got dressed got my things ready and was out of the hotel by 9.30 am that same day. After dropping off my luggage at baggage at around 10 am I started to get a slight red spot on my face. By the time I had completed my journey which was 10 pm UK time I was covered in rashes over my arm, chest, neck, ears, face all the places that were left open when I slept on the bed at the hotel. It was like I had been bitten by mosquitos. As soon as I landed at my destination I had to go straight to the hospital. They described it as an allergic reaction but I am not allergic to anything and as for that day and week I did nothing differently apart from staying there. Don't make my mistake, stay away!

Guy on the desk at check in was the best part of staying here. He was lovely. Room was dirty, no milk provided for coffee, shower leaked, toilet didnt flush properly, bedding wasnt clean, dusty fixtures, carpets up to the room looked like they hadnt been vacuumed for a year, door didnt lock so we had to barricade it during the night, kettle was dirty, housekeeping guy knocked on the door at 9am, obviously didnt respond because we were asleep and then he continued to knock for over ten minutes until i shouted that we were in bed. Went down for a phonecall and got hounded on the stairs asking when im leaving. Wouldnt stay here again.

Be aware that, contrary to the description, there is NO airport shuttle, NO bar, NO restaurant. There were no towels in the bathroom. There was a large dead spider on the ceiling. The kettle had not been emptied and cleaned and was unusable. Spend a little more and book somewhere else.

The room appeared to be neat. I dropped my knitting needle on the floor and while looking for it, I found there to be quite a bit of dust under the bed. When I went to take a shower, the edge of the shower door was cracked and it poked my thumb which bled a little. The number one reason I chose this place is because the bus came right at the door. I found out after I got there that the bus does not come on Sunday. So I needed to pay 27 pounds for a 5 minute taxi to the airport. They said they were 1.5 miles from the airport.

The worst hotel I ever stayed!!!!

I missed missed my flight and had to find a reasonable priced hotel to spend the night. If I knew what I was putting myself into, I wouldn't stayed there even if it was free. I had a prison cell size room in top floor that was just painted, but the window was broken and didn't close well. It had no electricity and the guy at the reception had to come and fix it. The mattress was very hold and the springs completely shot and impossible to sleep on it. Furthermore the mattress cover was missing, only a thin sheet was covering the nasty and hold mattress and I had to asks for some towels to cover it. The bathroom smelled like sewer and I had to keep the door closed the all time, the faucets were old and disgusting.
Not having a car to and the only way to move around was by taxi, which I had to take to get to the airport.
The worst hotel I have been!!!!!

For £59 a night I was not expecting much, therefore I wasn't too surprised by the spider webs above the bed. Otherwise, the room seemed clean, the bed too and we had 2 clean towels. Unfortunately, we had to sacrifice one towel to the bathroom floor because the shower bassinet was leaking like crazy. On top of that the water was lukewarm so if you like to take a hot shower, this is not the place.
The worst thing about the stay was the not flushing toilet. That was just awful.

Noisy could hear upstairs weeing, next door talking, bathroom smelt of mustiness, two half used toilet rolls for a week, two towels for a week, they came in made bed and left, no hairdryer, only a kettle. No restaurant or bar on site. Very disappointing. Bed was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in. Left after day 1 was meant to be there 5 nights.

Online it claims to have a restaurant - it doesn't, wifi doesn't work, no possibility to book the airport shuttle although it claims to provide that service, the \"wardrobe\" was a hook on the wall with one plastic hanger. Only light switch and light by the door - no beside light or switch. Alarm call for the morning not available. The room smelt musty and the bathroom smelt worse.
The young man staffing the wonky table which serves as reception was helpful but nothing he could do to improve the stay.

Good value for money

Can't complain for the price. I was just looking for a cheap hotel near stansted before catching my plane and it did the job perfectly. Its really close to the airport and there is a bus right next to the hotel....definitely recommend.

\"It ain't fancy, but it's cheap\"

This place does exactly what it says on the tin. Nothing too fancy, not the cleanest place out there, but the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and the kettle works great.
Not a lot to complain about if you're not expecting The Bellagio in Vegas.
Overall, it was good experience.

I also walked from Stansted airport both ways, which took about an hour and this was an excellent substitute for sleeping on an airport floor. There's also a bus that runs right past it to the airport, which could also be nice.

I'd read some horrific reviews after booking this place so wasn't expecting much..
Sure the front desk are a bit cold and disinterested And room was a bit beaten up but I wasn't there for a weekend of romance... It was just somewhere to crash after landing in Stansted late on Nye and it served it's purpose...
For the price it done the job!

The hot water didn’t work, the manager basically coerced us into getting a ride from him to the airport by knocking on our door repeatedly at 6:30 am and tried to charge us 40 pound for a mile and half when the going rate was 15 pound on Uber. He also dropped us off down the street from stansted and he we had to walk in the middle of traffic. It was very noisy. Just a bad experience overall.

I have stayed 3 nights ,
No hot shower freezing water in bath

Flight got cancelled then went back for 2 more nights same room no 21
No hot shower again . Reported to receptionist few times , no one seems to be bothered, no house keeping no fresh towels next day unless you go ask for it. Most of the time no body sitting @ Reception it’s like ghost hotel with very poor stay . Wouldn’t recommend to anyone, unless they improve service.

It’s good for what we needed- one night stay before travelling early to the airport. Difficult to get an Uber around and the bus was late so they recommended a taxi company which was helpful. Checking in receptionist was lovely and friendly. Receptionist in the morning didn’t really understand our queries as there was some confusion around the car parking as we weren’t advised.
Car parking was cheap compared to others, £6 a night and was able to leave the car there for the time we were away.
Room wasn’t dirty but just old, needs a bit of care and attention
Wish I got the name of the night receptionist, he was so nice!
