The George Hotel
Simple rooms in a traditional 14th-century building
Airport access
How you get from this hotel to the gate.
About this hotel
The 14th-century building is the standout feature here, simple rooms inside a genuinely old structure paired with a modern restaurant and bar that feels current rather than dated. Free Wi-Fi keeps a laptop connected throughout the stay, useful for checking a flight status without hunting for a signal, and kid-friendly rooms widen who the stay works for. Without breakfast, parking or an airport shuttle tagged, this suits a traveller who plans meals and transport independently rather than expecting them bundled into the room rate, whether arriving by taxi or a rental car. It reads as a straightforward, historic lodging rather than a full-service hotel, useful for a traveller who values the building's age and the modern restaurant over a long list of amenities.

- Kid-friendly rooms
Our take
Suits a traveller who wants genuine historic character in a simple room and is comfortable arranging breakfast, transport and parking independently. The modern restaurant and bar cover an evening meal without extra planning. Anyone who needs breakfast, parking or a shuttle bundled into the stay should book a terminal-ring chain instead, since none of those three are tagged here.
- Confirm parking and transport options directly before booking, since neither is listed among the tagged amenities here.
- Eat at the on-site restaurant if arriving without a car; it's the reliable option in a 14th-century building without confirmed extras.
- Ask about breakfast availability when booking, since it isn't tagged as a standard inclusion.

Why guests love itThe George Hotel sets simple rooms inside a 14th-century building, and its kid-friendly, smoke-free rooms make it workable for families who enjoy staying somewhere with history. The modern restaurant and bar mean dinner needs no planning, and free wi-fi helps with checking flight times. Breakfast, parking and an airport shuttle are not listed, so arrange those yourself. The 7/10 score from 220 reviews is average. I would choose it for character rather than convenience before a Stansted flight.
