1. The Cross Keys

"An older property that will be considered characterful or dated depending on your viewpoint. I enjoyed it including the narrow stairs and corridors, and the historic nature of the room, which was not lacking for the usual amenities. I had an excellent dinner and the Full English Breakfast was all you could wish for. The staff were attentive and friendly. It is a short walk from the 24 hr public car park and is in the centre of town."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"Clean room, good breakfast options, good location."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Early aircraft taking off cause noise and because the soundproofing of windows is not the best,it disturbs sleep."

Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Good location for airport"

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this hotel for a bit of self-indulgence, and the weekend felt like we'd had a full restful weekend. It's quiet, and there's everything you need right there. The food is great; as a vegetarian, I appreciated the tasty tagine, and my carnivore partner had plenty to choose from. The gym is well-equipped, and the pool is lovely. We'll be back soon to try a spa treatment as well. Also, the staff were amazing."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in central Cambridge. On site washing machines were an added bonus. Would stay here again."

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"I was only in the hotel for a matter of hours, but was a good enough room etc!"

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

8/10 Good

"convenient location bar prices reasonable nice room"

Stansted Airport Lodge

8/10 Good

"I think this place has potential. It did it's job for me, somewhere to stay for a night close to Stansted Airport on a bus route that runs late I to the night as I was on a late arriving flight. Price is very reasonable to alternative accommodation, the accommodation is clean, it just needs some minor cosmetic repairs doing in the room. Perhaps an automated email could be sent to people staying the night reminding them of the check in process and how to find the accommodation, as the reception desk is not staffed."
