Premier Inn Cambridge East (Newmarket Road)
8.9 (53 reviews)

Premier Inn Cambridge East (Newmarket Road) ★★★

📍 Newmarket Rd, Cambridge

"Overall, this hotel offers good value for money. As a common chain hotel, the rooms are clean and spacious, and the service is decent. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the city center, which is acceptable."

Clayton Hotel Cambridge
9.4 (135 reviews)

Clayton Hotel Cambridge ★★★★

📍 27-29 Station Rd, Cambridge

"The restaurant service was friendly, but the food was just so-so. The hotel itself is quite new, and the room was very clean, with housekeeping tidying up daily (without any 'save energy' requests). The room window was small and couldn't be opened. There's no kitchen, washing machine, or bathtub. The wardrobe is small, and the fridge didn't seem to cool very well. The location is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the train station, and the bus stop is only 3 minutes away. There's a supermarket and a cafe right downstairs. It's a 20-minute walk to the city center, or a 4-minute Uber ride. There aren't any other restaurants nearby, so you'll definitely need to head into the city center for dining options!"

Hyatt Centric Cambridge
8.8 (157 reviews)

Hyatt Centric Cambridge ★★★★

📍 EN, 37 Eddington Ave, Cambridge

"This hotel was a really satisfying stay for me. The only minor drawback is that it's a bit far from Cambridge city center, but the hotel amenities are excellent. I particularly liked the blue color scheme in the room. Plus, there are bus stops nearby with routes to the train station and various attractions. If you're looking for a comfortable stay, I highly recommend it. There's also a large supermarket conveniently located next door."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge
9.1 (390 reviews)

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge ★★★★

📍 Granta Pl, Mill Ln, Cambridge

"Fantastic hotel with unbeatable views! When checking out, I asked the front desk for a room key as a souvenir, but they ended up giving me a whole bunch. I joked that I only knew Newton, and the front desk staff patiently introduced me to each scientist. Haha!"

Ibis Cambridge Central Station
8.8 (391 reviews)

Ibis Cambridge Central Station ★★★

📍 2 Station Sq, Cambridge

"The staff were friendly and helpful. However, the room amenities were quite basic; for example, there was no refrigerator. The water pressure in the shower was also insufficient. The hotel lobby's check-in area is small, and when it's busy, guests checking in or out can obstruct the walkway. The cleanliness of the restrooms on the lobby level needs attention."

Holiday Inn Express CAMBRIDGE by IHG
8.4 (313 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express CAMBRIDGE by IHG ★★★

📍 15-17, Coldham's Business Park, Norman Way, Cambridge

"Apart from location, good to stay hotel 🏨"

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge
8.3 (108 reviews)

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge ★★★★

📍 15-19 Trumpington St, Cambridge

"The hotel is artistic, conveniently located and retro British. The toiletries used are all from L'Occitane. It is a very clean and comfortable hotel. The meals are mainly British cuisine. There are also many Chinese restaurants, Italian and Spanish restaurants around. There is a bus to the train station at the door, so it is very friendly when dragging a large suitcase."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre
9.2 (165 reviews)

Wilde Cambridge City Centre ★★★★

📍 Round Church Street, Cambridge

"Everything was excellent, no complaints at all. Great location, clean, good service, quiet and cozy."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre
8.7 (300 reviews)

Hilton Cambridge City Centre ★★★★

📍 20 Downing St, Cambridge

"The hotel is right in the center of Cambridge, so the location is great. The lobby is on the second floor. Overall, it's pretty standard. The room size is decent for the UK, but the amenities are quite basic, and it's a bit pricey. Still, compared to other hotels, it's acceptable."

Travelodge Cambridge Orchard Park Hotels in Cambridge

"Disappointing. Unfortunately, this was not a great experience and, having stayed at Travelodge previously because they are convenient when travelling with our dog, I would not stay at this particular hotel again. The one real positive was the lovely receptionist, Hafsan, who welcomed us when we arrived. She was extremely helpful, polite and friendly and gave off a lovely vibe. There was also another lady on reception the following morning who was helpful when I spoke to her later and gave me Hafsan’s name. We had a family room and we had one small fan, but it really didn’t make any difference. None of the four of us slept properly, and we also had our dog with us who was clearly struggling with the heat. The double bed was comfortable, but the two single beds were not particularly comfortable. It may have been partly due to the extreme heat, as none of us had much sleep at all. Breakfast was, quite frankly, a shambles. The layout doesn’t make sense to me. The food and self service area is at the back, meaning people have to walk through the seating area where others are eating to get to it. There was a constant flow of people walking backwards and forwards through the tables, which made the whole experience quite chaotic. There were also long waits for food to be replenished. Even after a member of staff was told that things needed filling up, we were still waiting for quite some time. At one point there was no milk, and I also heard another guest mention that some of the advertised fruit wasn’t available. There seemed to be several people who were unhappy with the breakfast service. When I spoke to a couple of members of staff afterwards about the breakfast, I didn’t find them particularly welcoming or helpful. They looked miserable, which unfortunately added to the overall experience. I really think the layout could be improved. It would make much more sense to have the kitchen/self service area first, so guests can collect their food and then move through to the seating area, rather than having to walk through people who are already eating. I stayed at a Holiday Inn in Cambridge a few nights later and their layout worked exactly this way, with the food area first and the seating afterwards, and it made much more sense. Overall, this was a very disappointing stay. The helpfulness of Hafsan was our highlught, but unfortunately that couldn’t make up for the problems with the rooms, the heat, lack of sleep and the breakfast experience. I’ve stayed in Travelodge hotels before and have generally found them convenient, particularly when travelling with a dog, but this particular stay was not a good experience and I would not stay here again."

University Arms Hotel, Autograph Collection

"The hotel is in a great location, right next to the city park in the center of Cambridge. It was renovated from an old building, and the interior design is very tasteful. Because it is a traditional old hotel, there are no living facilities in the room other than sleeping (kitchenette and washing and drying machine). It is also a good choice for a short stay of one or two nights."

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff for such a wonderful stay for my son’s birthday. We stayed from the 3rd to the 4th of May, and they decorated the room so beautifully, it really made him feel so special!!.... The customer service was second to none. From bringing extra pillows to helping me sort the air conditioning, nothing was too much trouble. The food, as always, was beautiful!! and the sticky toffee pudding is incredible! It was also so kind of them to give my son a takeaway box for his leftover pizza (the pizzas are massive), and to bring extra yoghurt for my baby. Those little touches really meant a lot. I honestly can’t fault this Travelodge. Even if there are ever any minor issues, they’re always sorted so quickly. I’ve been coming for years now and absolutely love bringing different members of my family along to experience it too. Thank you again for everything we’ll definitely be back soon!! 5*"

"The hotel is very close to the Cathedral. Although it's not in the absolute heart of Cambridge, it's not too far from anywhere, which makes it very convenient. The breakfast is delicious, and you can order à la carte. The à la carte menu is so good it barely tastes like British food! Another great feature of the hotel is that they have a few vintage Bentleys, which they offer for a complimentary one-hour tour."

The Hobson Cambridge by Adina Hotels in Cambridge

The Hobson Cambridge by Adina

"Located right across from Parker's Piece, it's not far from the city center and just a few minutes' walk from the Fitzwilliam Museum, with plenty of restaurants nearby. The room isn't huge, but it has a microwave and is very well-equipped. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and proactively helped with our luggage."

The Waterman Hotels in Cambridge

The Waterman

"Cambridge is an expensive town. That said, the price of the room did not reflect the amenities or the size of the room. Basically, the bathroom was so small as to be useless, and the bedroom very poorly lit and felt cluttered. The hotel is on top of a very cozy pub near Jesus Green, and within a comfortable walk to city centre. The room was clean and relatively quiet (the pub/hotel are located at a big intersection with frequent traffic). It would be ideal if the room price was closer to 100£, rather than 200£…"

Clayton Hotel Cambridge ★★★★
"The room was too small, and the service was terrible. The service phone was never answered, and I requested a hairdryer multiple times, but it was never delivered. The fire alarm suddenly went off twice in the middle of the night. When I asked the front desk the next day what happened, the front desk agent showed no apology and only said there was smoke on that floor last night. The room didn't even provide water, and many amenities were missing. Very disappointed with Holiday Inn!"

"The room was nice, quite spacious, and very new, with a light blue oceanic theme. The location was decent; there's a bus stop right outside with direct service to the city center. The only downside was that there was only one restaurant nearby, an Italian pizzeria, but thankfully the food was really good."

Ibis Cambridge Central Station ★★★
"The management's service awareness is abysmal, and the service and complaint handling were extremely disappointing. Their attitude was arrogant, showing no empathy for the unexpected situations faced by guests, and constantly using hotel policies as excuses to shirk responsibility. This was, without a doubt, the most infuriating and disappointing hotel experience I've had in many years. I had booked a twin room for 4 nights, from August 13th to 16th, and it was fully prepaid. Later, I realized I had made a mistake and requested to cancel the entire order or modify it to reduce it by two nights. After several communications, the hotel firmly refused, which I understood, as it was my fault. So, I told the hotel that if I couldn't stay for those days, I might have a friend stay instead. But I never said I wasn't coming at all. On the evening of August 13th, I arrived at London Gatwick Airport, only to find that all trains from the UK to Cambridge were temporarily canceled, preventing me from reaching the hotel. I contacted the hotel, requesting to cancel only the night of August 13th, but this request was also denied. I had plans in London afterwards, and with train delays, I finally arrived at the hotel late on the night of August 15th. I was then informed by the hotel that my reserved twin room was no longer available, and they only had a single room, but could add a small extra bed for us. I was utterly bewildered at that point. I had paid for 4 full nights, yet I couldn't get the room type I booked. Moreover, we were assigned to a corner room in a remote location, and after a long day, we had to walk quite a distance to reach it. That night, my 17-year-old daughter and I had to squeeze into a small room with an added temporary bed, which was a terrible experience. The next morning, I spoke to the Assistant General Manager, hoping to resolve the issue amicably. However, they claimed the hotel thought I wasn't coming and wasn't aware of my exact arrival date, stating that I needed to proactively inform them of my itinerary and arrival time, and that the hotel was not obligated to proactively contact guests to verify information or hold reserved rooms. The only solution they offered was to switch us to a twin room on the evening of August 16th. On August 16th, I was in London during the day, planning to take a later train back to the hotel. Without any prior notice and in our absence, the hotel directly swapped our room and assigned us to room 444, a number considered highly inauspicious for Chinese people. Throughout this entire ordeal, the hotel consistently prioritized its own policies, showing absolutely no empathy for the unexpected difficulties faced by guests. Furthermore, despite paying for 4 nights, I only stayed for 2, and even then, I couldn't get the room I booked. The management's level of service awareness is truly frustrating and infuriating!"

"The room's air conditioner made extremely loud noises from time to time, severely disrupting guests' rest. When cleaning, the staff used towels as rags to wipe the countertops; who would dare use towels from this hotel? It was utterly disgusting."
