Christopher from Torslanda, SE (Mature couple) 13 October 2008

Great value for money, pleasant staff, beautiful surroundings, practical for airport (107665077)

positive comments Well situated to Stansted Airport and lovely surroundings
negative comments Room was rather spartan
Excellent
Leigh from Mississauga, CA (Family with older children) 05 October 2008

An extremely soothing and welcoming feeling. The hotel was worth the 99 pounds, (107231526)

positive comments The apartment was quiet and private. It had 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, plus a wide hallway with a sofa to sit on. All 3 rooms had TVs, coffee makers, etc. A family of 5 or even two families of 3 could easily share this space. The staff were brilliant, happy and polite.
negative comments I would have liked to stay in a room that was actually inside the primary building, instead of a later add-on. All we did was check in to the main building, then go back out and around to the side. Booking online with the 2 kids didnt seem to work well for me. Would have prefered a smaller room with cots rather than a full apartment, but this option was not allowed. Though, in hindsight, the space came in handy so we could re-pack our bags to board a ryanair flight early the next morning.

Good value for money in the area. Large spacious room. Happy staff. (97387345)

positive comments Friendly, helpful staff. Good car park facilities. Tidy. Generous English breakfast service.
negative comments Not so much bad as the place is beginning to show its age; a bit fray at the edges. Could do with updating decorative order, in particular, lighting which at present is fluorescent and a bit functional and dull.

1. Good parking facilities for our stopover 2. Adequate 3* accomodation for our requirements (except for the springs in the mattress) 3. Food adequate, wish the toast could be ordered when seated at your breakfast table (I hate dry cold toast, but hey, that's just me) 4. Checked-in's x 2, both very early of the hours of the morning, with ease and no problems, check out was also good. (99168254)

positive comments Good parking facilities while we were away and use of the hotel facilities as a stopover near to the airport
negative comments A little dated, but a clean appearance. The mattress on the bed was very very uncomfortable, we both woke the following morning with spring indentation marks down one side of our bodies.

I might have been put off had I known that there was some training course or conference on at the same time. This did not affect us in ny way however, except for all the people smoking outside the front entrance during their free time. The food (both dinner & breakfast) was very good. The manager and all the staff were very helpful indeed, willingly arranging a cooked breakfast at 7 a.m., before the normal time and co-operating in every way. This is a very pleasant place to stay, and I am glad we found it. (99118064)

positive comments Clean, spacious, quiet (as requested), room & facilities serviced very well both days. Room outlook across gardens and trees. (Room 250).

firstly my booking online was never received according to very scruffy night porter . picture of rooms would have been nice. I am in the tourist trade myself on the island of crete and would never dream of charging anything near that amount and offer far superior standards. would like to say that breakfast was very nice especially coffee once the waitress finally decided to serve us.

Trevor from Horsham, GB (Other) 11 April 2007

I booked this hotel on behalf of a colleague and with no previous knowledge of the hotel. The main requirement was convenience for Stansted airport for my colleague the next morning. Limited feedback from my colleague indicates the hotel was satisfactory and there were no problems. Other than that I have no basis to comment on the suitability of the hotel except that my first impression was favourable - location and friendliness of reception staff. I have entered 'fair' in sections where I have no actual experience(i.e. not as the person using the facility). (99274929)

negative comments Pearse House is more a conference centre than a hotel. The breakfast is geared towards conference delegates, not guests. Pleasant staff, but I don't recommend this one. Pound for pound probably better off at the Days Inn just up the road.

Valerie from Broadstairs, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 26 August 2006

Very attractive hotel. Good service. Pleasant staff. Good accommodation. Nice breakfast. Only draw back was the tired mattresses and the slippery floor when coming out of the shower and the slippery surface of the shower tray whilst showering. Safety handles would have been helpful in the shower and for stepping out onto the laminate floor. This is not a complaint but a suggestion. (3305218309)

positive comments Large room and spacious bathroom.
negative comments Being on the top floor with no lifts and being a mature couple having to climb the stairs with our cases.

This is a great place! I was overwhealmed after my exhausting but wonderful holiday in France. I was tired and dirty and felt really refreshed after a hot bath in the clean bathroom and relaxing in the spacious bedroom. This is luxury! I stayed for only one night but my breakfast was served at 6 a.m. and I was picked up by a taxi to take me to the airport. That was a great start of the day! I would definitely recommend it.

A wedding was on at the hotel which we were not made aware of which lead to the restaurant not being open in the evening. However, the receptionist was extremely helpful in recommending local restaurants & directions. (3305050883)

The staff were friendly, accommodating and attentive. I stayed in the annexe which was quite quiet but rather warm - the weather was warm but there was no safe way to cool down the room as my bathroom window opened on to a fire escape which fellow guests were using as an outdoor seating area. Breakfast was buffet style and very good. (3305077152)
