“Desalis Hotel offers a practical launchpad for Stansted flights, set within surprisingly green grounds. I think the 'park, sleep & fly' packages are a smart move for travelers. It strikes me as a functional choice, with some quirks in decor but overall good value.”

an okay stay near the airport

convenient locationearly morning accessbathroom cleanlinesswardrobe interior
the location was convenient for early morning access to the airport. the hotel provides a chargeable taxi service, which helped with the early departure.
I found the cleanliness lacking. The bathroom needed more attention. also, the wardrobe interior could use better maintenance and cleaning.

the family room was quite spacious and well kept. I appreciated the common toilet and the two separate bedrooms. The door separated those bedrooms.
i noticed there was no air conditioning in the room. A fan would have been beneficial during warmer weather. the absence affected overall comfort.
