If you want the convenience of an overnight stay for an early or late flight, there are several great Stansted Airport hotels to pick from.

Circumstances can sometimes mean that an overnight stay at an airport hotel is either desirable or even necessary. If you’re catching an early flight to Kraków or returning late at night, there may not be the transportation to finish your journey. An overnight stay can also remove last-minute stress and pretty much guarantee you don’t miss your flight.
There are two good hotels connected directly to Stansted’s main terminal building. The Radisson Blu is the more upmarket and is right next door. The Hampton By Hilton has one less star and is slightly further away, but is still a solid choice.
Finally, we have chosen the Holiday Inn Express, which is a 5-minute shuttle ride away but will appeal to more budget conscious travellers.

The Radisson Blu is a 4-star property in the upper mid-range category, practically attached to London Stansted’s main terminal by a short covered walkway. In addition to the airport proximity, the rooms are stylish and modern, with on-site dining options, a wine tower bar, and access to the health club with pool and gym. Very handy if you need to be as close to the airport as possible, the Radisson Blu also brings a dash of luxury before or after a flight.

A 3-star hotel on the lower mid-range end of the scale, the Hampton By Hilton is also connected the Stansted’s main terminal by a covered walk of roughly 5 minutes. With free breakfasts, serving from 4am, and comfortable, modern rooms, the hotel is well-insulated against airport noise. Taken together, this would be the choice if you need to be close to the airport but don’t need all the frills of a more expensive hotel.
Holiday Inn Express Stansted Airport guest room

Located on the outer perimeter of the airport, the Holiday Inn Express is a 3-star property with a considerably lower price tag than its closer neighbours. Travel to and from the main terminal is via a paid, 5-minute shuttle service, but this runs 24 hours. There’s also a decent breakfast included with the cost of the room, which serves from 4am. All in all, the hotel scores well for comfort and service, and represents good value for money.
