Convenient location

This is a nice hotel in a very convenient location. The room was generously appointed and very comfortable. Staff very friendly. However, it just feels a little tired and needing of a little more attention to detail. Not bad for the price I guess, but not great.

Perfect Pub stay. Walking distance to train with only one stop to airport. Stansted is lovely historic town. Bed was very comfortable and it was quiet at night. Staff were lovely. My only critique is cereal was offered in the room, but not enough milk packets to enjoy it. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place if you need to go to Stansted Airport

Great place to stay if you need to get to Stansted airport. Room was cosy, bed was very comfortable. Make sure you reach the correct Stansted train station (not the airport station).

Nice amenities and comfy bed with nice linens. Pub and dining room are downstairs so noise does travel as rooms are over the pub. Staff very friendly. Good food in the downstairs restaurant. Right in town and sidewalks for getting out and about in the small village.

Ok for our 1 night stay before stansted flights

Ideal location for Stansted Airport, We had a shambles of a checking in, as they could not find our room key, the room could be cleaner as well and stocked with Loo roll and hand wash, the room was nice and comfortable for our 1 night stay, free onsite parking with other food options in close walking distance

While our stay was short, Kings Arms was delightful. Yasmin, our host, was informative and friendly. Our only regret is we didn’t have more time to fully enjoy Kings Arms restaurant and pub. The accommodations were comfortable and perfect! Conveniently located to train enabling a quick trip to Stansted airport. Highly recommend!

Great hotel 1stop on train from airport

What a great hotel, very nice friendly staff who couldn’t of been more helpful, fantastic food we stayed on Sunday so had the roast dinner which was amazing. Right next door to train station so 7 mins to Standsted airport far cheaper than a taxi. Only downside was it was quite hot in the room but nothing a fan would have not sorted. Will definitely stay again when flying from Stansted.

A very pleasant surprise! Very nice and clean room above the great pub. Can't thank the staff enough. Besides being very helpful (booking taxi and arranging a table at the pub) they were also very kind and helped make our travel nightmare much better. Would be very happy to stay again, particularly when we could enjoy a few more pints!

Charming

Charming place with four nice rooms over a pub. Friendly staff and good food in the pub. Note no elevator/lift. No real climate control though had a fan and some other gadget, and the windows do open. Easy one stop on the Stansted Expess then you’re right there. The train in the AM did not stop frequently
