West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation

"The property is very conveniently located to allow great access to all the Cambridge sights. The room was lovely and well-appointed with teas, coffee and even hot chocolate. The property is beautiful and allows for great walks in their green space. The staff were definitely helpful though sometimes with a slightly detached attitude. That is the only criticism I would have. "

"Lovely bay windowed room with garden views and enormous bathroom. We booked the upgraded room and the main difference to our friends standard room seemed to be the room location and the size of and facilities in the bathroom (we had twin washbasins, large bath, separate large shower, bidet, wc). The breakfast was very good. Plenty of parking. No dinner facilities or bar, but close to lots of bars and restaurants in the town."

"The hotel was in a great location very close to the train station - it was raining when we arrived so we were glad about that! Staff were helpful and friendly and check in & check out was very quick and efficient. We had a room on the 4th floor - very clean with tea & coffee making facility, hairdryer, great TV and comfy bed. The bathroom was a bit different - bit like being on a cruise ship as it was more of a "pod" than an actual room. That said it had good toiletries and nice towels although...

"I stayed here with my family and we had two rooms, each for 3 people. We got placed on the first floor near the access to the pool which was great. Sadly our experience was mixed, partly because one room was beautifully clean whilst the other wasn't - the unclean one; the carpet had crumbs all over it, the bathroom was dirty with toothpaste in the sinks, and the glasses had lipstick on them. The work surface was also unclean. As we had booked 2 family rooms, I was expecting that the...

5/5 Excellent
"The hotel was in a great location very close to the train station - it was raining when we arrived so we were glad about that! Staff were helpful and friendly and check in & check out was very quick and efficient. We had a room on the 4th floor - very clean with tea & coffee making facility, hairdryer, great TV and comfy bed. The bathroom was a bit different - bit like being on a cruise ship as it was more of a "pod" than an actual room. That said it had good toiletries and nice towels although we thought the shower was a bit basic. We feel it could have done with a separate hand towel though as once you'd used both bath towels you had to keep using damp towels until the next day! The restaurant staff were excellent - nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of food choices at the breakfast buffet but depending what time you arrived some of the hot food was a bit lukewarm. We enjoyed out 4 night stay at the Ibis and enjoyed our first visit to Cambridge."
