Only down marked because the Cafe / bar was not open

Unfortunately the bar and restaurant were closed. As we had been driving all day it was a chore to then drive to the local.

You get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful, a bed for the night, no frills.

No issue with cleanliness, location, staff, room for the price. Marked down as there were a few concerns with fellow guests, 1) at reception concerned parents needing to urgently see their son, 2) an aggressive family argument in the room next door at midnight. Both of these not directly the hotels fault, but took away from the experience.

In the middle of nowhere. Nowhere to get food nor drink . Drab not ni e rooms

Room was nice, but there was no hot water, and this wasn’t explained when I checked in.. I later visited reception to ask why and was told that there was no hot water as they were waiting for a plumbing part - I realise that items will fail occasionally, so accepted that.. However first thing the next morning I saw an oil tanker filling up the hotel oil tank, and on leaving the hotel overheard the tanker driver explain to a member of staff that a maintenance man would be needed to get things running.. so, it wasn’t a part failing, it was human (hotel management) error/ failure.. what really pissed me off was that I wasn’t told the truth. I was on business.. had just finished a long and grimy day, and had another one the next day, so a strip wash with a cold sink of water was not ideal

Apart from no hot water it was a pleasant enough stay The young lady at reception was excellent, very cheerful and informed me about the water situation immediately.

We stayed for one night. The female receptionist went above and beyond expectations.

Check in was quick and easy.. The breakfast on offerbwas a bit poor. I have a nut allergy so would not have veen able to eat some of it. Also expensive for what it was.

Lovely night stay over

Ibis Hotels never let us down, we have stayed in many over the last 6 years, whilst travelling around. There is always a friendly welcome, always clean, fresh bright decor, rooms are a good size, beds comfortable. The Ibis Budget at Bishops Stortford was exactly the same. So we would happily stay there again, and happily recommend it to anyone else.

Booked this hotel for a night's stay before our early flight from Stansted. Great location and clean room. Staff helpful. Plenty of free car parking.
