Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay, very convenient and well priced for an early flight from Stansted. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were super helpful. Would recommend!"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our visit, liked the hotel which had a cosy friendly atmosphere. Clare was particularly helpful when our television would not work, she made two visits to our room to resolve the matter to our satisfaction. Clare was also very chatty and friendly when we had other queries, a valuable asset to the hotel."

Rectory Farm

8/10 Good

"There are no useful amenities and the ones advertised aren’t really: the bar is a desk that never seems to be open no draft beer etc. the swimming pool was locked up with a comdnation lock that we were not given the code to on arrival and the nearest pub is 30 minutes away over fields however it was a very nice pub to eat & drink. When we arrived there was no one there and the door to the reception was not opened until 16:00 on the dot by the receptionist who was in there all along."
