ibis Cambridge Central Station
The room is clean and the staff are very welcoming. Only one gripe is that the window in our room felt it was open as we could clearly hear the noise outside but thankfully everything closes after 11. The room was on 3rd floor

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa
Have stayed here several times, rooms and hotel overall always lovely and clean. Reception staff very pleasant, bar staff on this visit not so. Overall our short stay was good, but had booked a double room however were given a twin room, but didn’t realise until we were actually going to bed later ...
