Getting There and Around
The Ramada hotel is 5 minutes from Stansted airport, and a 15- minute taxi ride from the centre of the nearest large town, Bishops Stortford.
From Stansted airport, you can take a National Express bus to central London. The fares start at £11 one-way, and the journey takes around one hour.
Don’t take a taxi from Stansted Airport! The 5-mile journey just to Bishops Stortford is around £35 (even with an Uber). Instead, just walk outside the Arrivals and pick up a local bus. This costs £2 and takes around 30 minutes to get to the centre of Bishop’s Stortford.
Taxi prices are normal travelling back to the airport – typically around £10 from the centre of Bishop’s Stortford.
Ramada Hotel
One night at the Ramada, including a full English breakfast, cost £89.
This is a 3-star hotel, providing the basics you need, with no extra frills.
Ramada Hotel Basic Room
The largely East-European staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are basic but comfortable. There’s no minibar, fridge, safe, or toiletries, but there is a kettle with coffee and tea.
Ramada Hotel – No minibar or safe
The room I was given had strange low (machinery) noises throughout the night. It sounded as though someone upstairs was constantly sliding doors open and closed.

Don’t be late for breakfast!
The full English breakfast is excellent, but things start to run out, so don’t be late.
I got there at 9 am when there were still croissants and pastries, but 10 minutes later came a surge of guests and the croissants and cakes vanished quickly, not to be replaced.
Ramada Hotel Breakfast – Full English!
Local Facilities
Next door to the hotel is a small ‘Welcome Break’ shopping centre which includes Waitrose, Burger king, and Kentucky fried chicken. There’s also a Starbucks nearby.
If you travel into Bishops Stortford and you need a bite to eat, don’t miss The Port Jackson – J D Wetherspoon, by the bridge. Great value for money if you enjoy classic English food.

There is a regular bus service to Bishops Stortford. You need to walk around the back of the hotel and about 10 minutes to reach the nearest bus stop.
So would we stay at the Ramada again?
