Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good
"I’d say three star… I’ve stayed here often over the past few years and tend to enjoy it, but it’s starting to feel a bit tired. The carpets in the corridor were dirty, the room didn’t have a smart TV, amenities in the room were a bit dated. Could do with updating. Also: The bar is expensive."
