The breakfast was very good and the service excellent All the staff were pleasant and helpful. An iron, ironing board and hair dryer were all provided in the room, very useful. The location for me was particularly good as I was in Cambridge to attend a drawing class at the Botanic Gardens. It was also walking distance from the station. I did not require buses or taxis.

FAQs about hotels in Cambridge








The Inspiration for Genius

Open-plan and open-minded, Cambridge is best known for university colleges dating to the 13th century. King’s College is the most popular, and its chapel choir is internationally famous. Although accessed from cobbled King’s Parade, it is best viewed from a punt on The Backs, the part of the River Cam behind.

Cambridge punting is an institution and gives great views of Queen’s College Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs at St John’s College. Upstream is Jesus Green, site of an outdoor pool and a fantastic beer festival. Next to this is Midsummer Common, a park home to the annual Strawberry Fair (and the occasional cow). Opposite are the college boathouses - get up early to see the rowers in action!

Cows also roam the Mill Pond meadow, where the river leads south to Grantchester, a quaint village with a lovely cafe. Places to eat in Cambridge include riverside restaurants and typical English pubs like The Eagle, drinking hole of DNA founders Watson & Crick.

Cambridge shopping options include a daily market (in Market Square), the Grafton Centre and the exclusive Grand Arcade, the latest addition. The Scott Polar Museum and free Fitzwilliam Museum are 2 of many fantastic Cambridge museums.

Stansted Airport is connected by train to the city’s accommodation choices on Booking.com.

    We didn't visit the Centre of Cambridge.

    We didn't visit the Centre of Cambridge. We visited the Museum of the History of Computing which was fascinating! We then travelled across Cambridge to Eddington to stay at the Hyatt Centric for the night. We chose this hotel as it was opposite The Storey's Field Centre which was hosting a concert. The hotel was excellent, in house restaurant The Astronomer catered well for vegetarians. Eddington is a really lovely area, well thought out, looks new and clean and inviting! Love to go back

    Have been in this historic town several times.

    Have been in this historic town several times. Always mesmerised by the beauty, culture, historic presence, academic ethos of this town. There are different characteristic colleges of Cambridge University within short walking distance. A lot to see, experience and great food. Lovely scenery, green space and enjoyable stroll along River Cam. Impressive architecture. Very fond of Cambridge with good memories. The museums contain treasure. Not enough time to see everything. Will come again.

    Even more beautiful than the photos!

    Even more beautiful than the photos! Very clean and we felt very safe! The day tickets for the bus was £3.50 each and they last for 24 hours which is amazing! All flat so more bikes than cars which is great to see. Some paths can be quite thin and the roads always flowing with bikes and cars. I don’t know how ideal it would be for wheelchair access. We ate at The Astronomer as that was the closest to our apartments. We ate at Novi, Fitzbillies (we was stuffed!! Great food and prices), the MillWorks (only dog friendly in the bar area - the two tall tables). Benets and chop house were great locations for outdoor drinks with good views. The Lucy&Yak store and staff were amazing. Such a great, safe space and size inclusive. Full of colour. The giraffe walking tour was fabulous to get us exploring the city! We would’ve visited museums and botanical gardens if they was dog friendly!!

    Crowded - difficult to get a decent seat for coffee.

    Crowded - difficult to get a decent seat for coffee. A restaurant we used last time did not offer English food on the Sunday and were so, so slow. I wish we had brought a paper map - the online maps are so cluttered and confusing - we just wanted to know where the churches were and Google was just not up to it. A bus map with all the stops would have been very useful and would have saved us some time - again the Google mapping of stops was poor, and the automatic times at the stops sometimes wildly out. Fitzwilliam museum - some brilliant displays, but cafe disappointing. All you need to know is that the Universal electric bus (U1/U2, Kermit-green) from the station does stop right outside. When you travel up from Kings Cross station in London make sure you catch the 'fast' train - it can be difficult to find the platform and you can easily catch the very-slow by mistake... staff are unhelpful so (1) work out the geography of the station first, then(2) keep your eyes glued to the main departure board till the platform shows, and (3) run!

    We enjoyed walking around the colleges. The market was fun. The botanical garden is lovely. We had many options of halal restaurants for dinner - not the case in every town/city. Unfortunately, as it was not term time, evensong in King's Chapel was not on. I wanted my partner to hear it as it is so beautiful.

    Cambridge is a beautiful and interesting city, but I was sorry that my visit wasn't in term time. Then it would have been really buzzing, and I would have been able to experience evensong at King's College chapel.

    Beautiful modern hotel, the interior is really nice, the bed is huge and comfy. The staff and housekeeping was really kind and helpfull, thank you! The public transport is amazing and right in front of the hotel, so you can visit Cambridge without the 40 minute walk to the city centre. The hotel is really quiet, there wasn’t any street noise or anything else. There is a big tv that you can connect really easy to your phone, so you can cast your favourite show. We would like to stay here again!

    The room was great, very clean and comfortable. The downstairs communal areas are very cosy and unique, best I've seen so far from Ibis. I would genuinely recommend anyone to book a room there if you're in Cambridge. Also the location is great. Train station is just outside, making it very convenient if you were to travel somewhere. Cambridge town center is about 15 minute walk but there are plenty of cafes and bars just around the corner too.

    Well let's make it clear straight in the beginning that I stayed in Arundel House which seems to be the sister hotel of Ashley Hotel. Breakfast nice and very substantial, good location like 5mins walk from the centre of Cambridge. Our room was facing to the front, right on the river. Room was spacious, clean and heating was really good. Also the shower was really hot. Our room was cleaned during our stay and the room was left nice and tidy.

    The two rooms we booked were in close proximity to one another as requested and to a very high standard in terms of comfort and cleanliness. The hotel is surrounded by a few shops and cafes and while a distance from Cambridge city centre the walk is pleasant and not too far away (there are taxis available at the station too). I would certainly recommend the hotel.
