"I wish I’d just paid more to go to a chain hotel. This was terrible, the shower took 10 minutes to warm up by this point the bathroom was already flooded and the water was leaking into the bedroom floor. One of the great benefits was ‘FREE PARKING’ listed on their advert but I was in fact charged for parking for the few hours I was there overnight!!! Conveniently close to the airport but that’s about all that was good about this place."

Top The Common Hotel Reviews

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

8/10 Good

"Good location at a fair price . Bathroom had loose floor tile , floor needs re tiling. Staff great very close to station. Pub next door needs air conditioner, hotel aircon worked great in the heat. Dog friendly but £@5 extra cleaning charge is a bit steep."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Room 554 is a spacious twin room with a pleasant view across the train station forecourt. An excellent budget hotel with great facilities. Nice staff. Room has everything you need including charging cubes for plugs and USB. Excellent location by the railway stations with taxis right outside. 24 hour bar service, sandwiches and snacks available in the cafe and pizzas available until 3am, great air con. The bathroom pods are not my favourite thing but the hotel is such good value it's not enougg to put me off."

Centennial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything worked, the staff, the amenities, restaurant, bar, check in and out, car park. All very efficiently run and reasonably priced. Tidy and good looking place, perfectly situated to explore Cambridge, right opposite the Botanical gardens and with the Railway station less than a 10 minute walk. Nice breakfast and although we did not indulge, they had a perfectly reasonable evening menu. Would stay again for sure."

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"Good location near city center and all with walking distance of main attractions, restaurants and shops. Hotel offers limited but expensive on-site parking. We had a superior double room which was a good size, clean and functional with most things you needed. Areas for improvement include the noise from live bands and DJ’s at wedding parties in the hotel both nights of our stay although generally quite after 11pm. Internet in room was poor - very slow to connect and access speed was so poor it wasn’t worth trying. Breakfast service was ok - nothing special"
