The Hampton is terrible because you need to take a million stairs from the airport building as the elevator is being renovated -- there is a shuttle but you won't know that before reaching the hotel because it's not on the website, it's not in the email, it's not signed in the airport building and reception doesn't answer the phone.

Hi All,Have stayed a couple of times at Hampton Stanstead, okay it’s a functional Hampton. Some of the rooms overlook some of the runway, what you might need to know is as you face the airport the Hotel is to the left. If you arrive at Airport by Train or Coach when you go up the escalator you come out in the actual Airport, when you leave the Airport turn to your Right. At the end of the Airport Terminal Building you will see some steps over the railway line, about 10 terminal side about 100 other side.Although I have not used it the lift looks finished, don’t think they are running Shuttle bus anymore.Hope this helps

Hi folks.
Off to krakow on March 1st so staying here the night before on a park and stay rate.
Just wondering if anyone has stayed recently as last post was 2018…..any relevant information would be appreciated thanks.

Didn’t get a chance to do live review here as I arrived late and left for an early flight.

Arrived 10pm , was pre upgraded a few days before from a queen room to a queen family room with airport view.
Swiftly checked in and entered car registration ( it’s here for 4 days ) , £193 on a park and fly deal.

ROOM - was a reasonable size, king size bed ( European size ) was comfy but noisy and creaking every time I turned over, had a terrible nights sleep, not a lot else to report really, kinda slept, showered, and left at 6am.

BATHROOM - shower only but works well, nice towels and flannels

BREAKFAST - this was really nice, only had coffee and toast but the selection looked great , coffee fairly decent too.

CHECK OUT - Checked out via express check out on way out…. Terminal building is a short walk across the road and along the covered walkway, than a lift up to terminal…it’s easy.

CONCLUSION - apart from the noisy bed everything worked well, I would stay again but avoid room 738

ROOM NO - 738

NEXT PLANNED STAY - Hilton garden inn Krakow ( I’m here now )

Very enjoyable mate, real nice vibe!

The hotel situation in STN has improved dramatically with the Hampton opening, compared with the previous option of the Hilton (where I stayed MANY times on business) which was miles away and involved a shuttle bus that wasn't even free.

I’m here again tomorrow night for a flight to Berlin the next morning.
Booked a queen guest room and preupgraded a few days back to a queen family room with runway view….its the same scenario as my stay here a month ago except this time my flight doesn’t leave until until 11am so I should have time to do a proper review including restaurant and gym this time.
Should arrive around 9pm …..will do the usual reporting.

wizla

Arrived 10-30pm, car park very full, got the last space!…. Room same as last report as it’s next door, not really a lot to say, swift check in , quick pint in bar ( stressful drive down ) ….very quiet indeed.
Now almost midnight so about to retire, flight not until 11 am in morning so hope to use gym and then breakfast…..will report back!

xooz

So no bus/shuttle, but walkable with appropriately sized bags.? If one had a large unwieldy bag, what options exist to get to terminal (if you know)?

wizla

Yes an easy 10 minute walk along a covered walkway opposite hotel with lifts up to the terminal.

Slept well bed very comfy and not creaking like 738 last trip, this room ( 740 ) has a different window configuration too as they are smaller with a wide concrete beam.

GYM - didn’t indulge but had a look for you guys, it’s a reasonable size , kinda two of everything cardio wise ( cross trainers / treadmill, etc ) free weights up to 20k and a decent pulley rack….towels and water provided.

Now gonna shower and have breakfast……will report back !

wizla

Shower very powerful!…impressive.

BREAKFAST - not a lot to report, no change from last stay / post….it was alright.

CHECK OUT - via express box.

CONCLUSION - yeah it’s okay, nothing great but convenient for airport stays, would stay again.

ROOM NO - 740

NEXT PLANNED STAY - Hilton Berlin ( I’m here now )
