"Stayed here while attending an appointment at Papworth Hospital and had a great experience. The hotel was excellent value for money, in a peaceful location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. The staff were lovely, and having a bar and restaurant on site was a real bonus. We ordered drinks and dessert, both of which were delicious. I would happily stay here again if the price is right."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a perfect location for exploring Cambridge, ideal for families"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate room. Tasty breakfast served with a smile from Jeanie. Couldn’t get closer to the airport. My only sort of criticism was that we appeared to have to queue at the bar in the evening for a drink which the customers did, but the staff ignored !!!"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure staying here!"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

"Great stopover hotel for Stansted Airport"

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

8/10 Good

"One point to note first - despite the name, this is nowhere close to Cambridge South station, but is right next to Whittlehurst Parkway - there is little within walking distance in the surrounding area, so best if you have a car, but there are regular trains to cambridge that take 10-15 minutes. The hotel itself is fine, clean and modern. Staff friendly, small bar at the reception if you want a drink or coffee."

My wife travels with me and we find everything about this hotel is just right, the staff are super friendly which is the biggest plus of all. If only my team were as accommodating at keeping me happy."
