Stansted airport used to be like a second home to me. I worked in the joyless town of Haverhill about 20 miles away and I flew out of Stansted at least once a week for many years. It used to be a super little airport where you could turn up shortly before the flight, drop your car in the short-stay and fly off without any trouble, but as the airport has grown it's become a much less pleasant and convenient place to use. So when I discovered the best way to get to Bremen in Germany on the day I needed to go was a 6.30 am Ryanair flight out of Stansted, I decided I'd do it but only if I could stay at the airport.
Since I last used Stansted, there's been one major improvement to the local hotel situation and that's the opening of the Radisson SAS. It's the only hotel that's in walking distance of the airport terminal - approximately 2-3 minutes under a covered walkway. Before this the nearest option was the Hilton which required a bus transfer. For a 6.30 am start, meaning a 5 am check in, I wanted to be right on the doorstep. I was surprised when I found that I could have the Radisson SAS for £99 even though I was booking only a couple of days in advance.
Finding the Hotel
When you arrive at the airport the Radisson is really well signposted. You follow signs to the short stay car park, drive past the car park to the roundabout at the end and then turn back to the hotel. I parked in the car park and wheeled my bags into the hotel. From the outside the hotel was a U-shaped grey block that fitted well with the architecture of the airport itself. Despite being a pretty horrible airport to use these days, I can't help but still admire Norman Foster's innovative use of light and space and I do think Stansted is an outstanding example of airport design.
Checking In
Outside the hotel there are flag poles, a very pretty fountain and the characteristic Radisson liveried Mini cars. Getting in took a while as the rotating door is one of the slowest I've ever seen. Stepping inside there are six or eight free-standing check in desks and a concierge desk to one side. The receptionist checked my details on the computer and I asked if it was possible to change my deal to a parking-included package. I'd seen that the day and a half I needed the car park for was going to cost me £50 but she changed my booking to parking inclusive for an extra £20, handed me a registration form for my car and a copy of the Radisson loyalty scheme paperwork, gave me my key and pointed me to the lifts.
The hotel has a central atrium with a bar in the middle and several restaurants around the outside including a steak bar, an Italian and a Spanish restaurant. In the middle of the bar is a 50 foot wine tower with bottles stacked up behind glass. From other reviews I've read, I learned that they have 'angels' in harnesses who are hoisted up to get your wine but nothing like that happened whilst I was watching.
Hunting for my room
Coming out of the lift there are no signs to indicate which way to go and I picked the wrong way and had more of a trek to my room than necessary. Opening the door I was really pleased with what I found. My room was one of their ocean-themed bedrooms, all done out in shades of blue and green. The room was quirky with lots of unusual features that showed a lot of thought had gone into the design. First thing I spotted was that the bed was set at an angle to the walls. The next odd thing was the funky chair - a bit like an upholstered deck chair - and then I noticed the multi-coloured carpet and the weird 'shark tooth' shaped mirror over the desk. The flat screen TV was wall-mounted above a light wood 'cube' that contained the mini-bar (one of those automatically charging computerised ones) and below that there was a drawer that contained the room safe. Inside the wardrobe there was a trouser press and iron which I later found were totally unusable because the trouser press wouldn't stay closed and the ironing board kept collapsing. That however was the only thing I found that didn't work. The bathroom was light and bright with a shower over the bath and plenty of towels. The toiletries were not a brand I recognised but smelled lovely. The lighting around the vanity unit was bright and there was a shaving/make up mirror. Everything was spotlessly clean.
Car Parking
I popped back to my car to fill in all the details for the concierge but there was nobody on the desk so I gave up and headed round to the airport to pick up some sandwiches for my dinner and some yoghurt for my breakfast. I then went back to hand over my car keys but the concierge still wasn't at his desk. The receptionist came over to help and was filling out the paperwork when the Italian concierge returned. When he realised I only needed the car park for 36 hours he couldn't apologise enough and said the receptionist really shouldn't have asked me to do the paperwork and he was really sorry to have wasted my time. He then gave me a pre-approved ticket for when I came back so all I would have to do was hand it in at the desk and get it activated for the security barrier.
Free WiFi
Hoorah for Radisson they have recognised the value of free internet access and seem to offer it in many of their hotels now which is always a nice bonus. I didn't have time to use it much - or to explore the rest of the hotel features and amenities - because I needed to be up at 4.30 the next morning. So I set my alarm, climbed up onto the high bed, snuggled down and then got out again to find all the light switches and turn out the lights. Back in bed I slept well but not for very long before waking up to pack up, catch a bit of middle-of-the-night Olympics coverage and head for the check-out.
Bye Bye Radisson
Check-out was quick and easy - thank goodness because any time wasted so early in the morning would have been annoying. I paid, got my receipt and headed out to the airport. I realised when I returned the next day to get my car that there's a 'grab and go' breakfast bag system which I'd missed out on - after all, you can't be expected to get everything straight in the wee small hours of the morning.
Summary
I wish I'd had the opportunity to stay a bit longer and check the other facilities but I was overall very impressed with the hotel and would be more than happy to go back and stay there again

Review of Radisson SAS Hotel London Stansted Airport, Stansted
Advantages: Clean, Friendly staff Disadvantages: Uncomfortable camp bed, slow service
...decided to stay in the Radisson SAS hotel the night before. There were nine of us in total in three rooms including two children. -Arrival- Being the only one of us living in London I was the first to arrive. Getting to the hotel was really easy for me, I just took the Stansted express and then followed the signposts to the hotel. It is really well signposted and I actually found the walk there to be quite pleasant. There were rabbits all over the ... ...maintained. Staff were friendly and went out of their way to help us. I've stayed at a Radisson SAS before at a different airport and compared to that one the bedroom in this one was a real disappointment.

****Radisson SAS Hotel London Stansted Airport****
Earlier this year i stayed in this hotel and i thought it was great.
**Location/Getting there**
The location of this hotel is fantastic!! It is literally a two minute walk from the airport and as such is obviously the closest.Not sure how to get there by anything other than plane but i did notice that it had ample parking .If you wanted to stay in this hotel you could probably get the train to ... ...The first thought in my mind when i saw this hotel was WOW. The design of the building is really nice and i think (don't quote me on this) it has won awards.Staff in 4 star+ hotels are usually nice and this is no exception.On the way to the lifts you pass a wine tower-it is about 13 meters high and people (well staff) go up and down it by harness .I wouldn't want that job.
**Hotel/Room**
Both times i have stayed in this hotel the rooms have been ...

Advantages: Onsite for the airport, beautiful rooms, runway views Disadvantages: no jacuzzi
We stayed at the this hotel for one night before a 6am check in for a flight to europe. The deal was 7 days parking and one night at the hotel. The price was fantastic.
The standard room had a superking bed - three pillows across it. It was very comfortable and most definately big enough with a 6'4" fella in it.
The room had runway views but not the noise you would expect. They must have very good glazing. The bathroom was fab and the shower was ... ...range of restaurants and the Italian was beautiful. The bar has a feature wine tower which is to the roof and acrobat girls get bottles down for customers. It looked really fantastic and the show the girls put on is very nice while you relax and have a drink. We would definately stay again for a pre-flight night as it was so easy...2 mins covered walkway to the terminal, you can even go in there for a shop the night before if you want, or to get ...
