Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"This Ibis is excellent value and I’ve stayed a number of times over the last 4 years. My only concern this time is the breakfast. The breakfast food is excellent, well cooked and a great range of foods. However the staff couldn’t keep up with demand. Between 8-9am food ran out. At times There was no milk, bread, pastries, cutlery and even space to sit and eat. Perhaps additional staff should be added between These hours to help replenish stocks. The same applies to reception. Frequently only one person was left to deal with checking out and checking in guests. This could be better managed. Other than the above minor problems it’s a good place to stay."

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge West Cambourne by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room very clean and housekeeping in attendance. Breakfast - chaotic but a very busy period for hotel; staff multi-tasking perhaps a bit too much; guests not too sure where anything was located at buffet; no room-check 'just turn up' gives impression of low-value aspect. Everything else, fine."

Christs College Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The staff at the Porters Lodge and at breakfast were excellent and very helpful. The room was minimalist, but the bed and chair was comfortable. The college is the middle of Cambridge and ideal in my case for meetings at two other colleges within easy walking distance. The only down side is that my room was on a third floor which entailed going up a steep and narrow set of steps with a suitcase. There was no lift and while not impossible with a small overnight bag with a larger suitcase, or anyone elderly, or infirm, or in need of stick to get around, would have found this very difficult. Hot breakfast was fine and typically long tables and benches to sit on."

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot fault the staff at this place. They were all really lovely and always willing to help. The breakfast is decent and ample parking on site. The rooms are a good size and very clean. We really appreciated that there was already a fan in the room alongside the AC - needed in the heatwave."
