How do you choose these Stansted Airport hotels?

We start from the hotels nearest to Stansted Airport in our own hotel directory, then keep only those whose listing includes the facilities this guide is about. The reasons on each hotel come straight from that listing. We don't accept payment for placement.

Do these hotels run a shuttle to the terminal?

Only where the hotel lists airport transport or a shuttle do we say so. Times and any charges are set by the hotel, so check with them before you book.

Are the prices final?

Prices shown here are for tonight, one room for two adults, and include the £1 booking fee. They come from our recent search results and are re-checked live when you choose dates and book.

It depends on the room. Every rate shows whether it is refundable and, if so, until when, before you pay.
