ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"A good location. Near rail station, and double decker tour bus stop."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel- central location on the river can. We stayed in a river view double room with balcony- very clean and classically decorated. The staff were amazing. Supplied a bathrobe so I could go for a swim and use the jacuzzi and steam room. The food and service are some of the best we’ve had in a hotel, from the breakfast- set in the quaint Garden House restaurant, to the afternoon tea- all were a very high standard. This hotel has so much to offer you can easily spend a lot of time here. Would definitely return."
