Ideal for the railway
I stayed here as base for going to Newmarket races, easy to get to the station as its over the square and lots of shops and cafes in the station square. I had a good pizza in the hotel bar area on Friday.

Ideally situated next to Cambridge train station, but still quite a walk into the centre. However plenty of taxis outside and cheap uber gets you to centre easily.

Ibis - reliable and predictable
The Ibis hotels are basic and minimalist but you know what to expect. Apart from no paper tissues, we had everything we needed.

Great location, great team, great value
Comfortable, clean room, very comfy bed, friendly staff and a good breakfast - what more could you want? Also very well located, close to the station and only about half an hour's walk from Cambridge's many attractions.

Expensive for not being able to connect.
Wifi is unacceptably bad and the TV won't even load the TV guide.
The bathroom is stupid as has a step and a door which only pulls shut, so you can't close it quietly. Fine if you're on your own, not if you are sharing and its the middle of the night!!
£190 for rubbish wifi and a rock solid bed just isn't ok.
