What Previous Guests Had to Say
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Kings Arms Hotel, with its charming English ambiance, is praised for its spacious rooms and lovely, modern bathrooms, some even featuring a bath and overhead shower. Guests appreciate the tea and coffee making facilities, along with a bottle of water and milk in the fridge. The convenience to Stansted Airport, about an 11-minute drive, is a definite plus, as is the pub offering reasonable food; however, some rooms are small and almost without windows. A good breakfast café is located diagonally opposite the hotel.
