"Stayed here while attending an appointment at Papworth Hospital and had a great experience. The hotel was excellent value for money, in a peaceful location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. The staff were lovely, and having a bar and restaurant on site was a real bonus. We ordered drinks and dessert, both of which were delicious. I would happily stay here again if the price is right."

Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent and defo return"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The bar and food were really good for an airport hotel and the staff were so friendly the breakfast was plentiful too very good stay indeed"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"The clean room and great staff are a plus. However, the food wasn’t to my taste and I wish they offered more amenities than just a gym. It’s a bit of a letdown if your layover is longer than 24 hours as there’s nothing much to do. Overall, it’s a good hotel."

"Great location and wonderful cafe in the lobby."

DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

10/10 Excellent

"Value for money was great. Receptionist was lovely. Rooms yes were dated but what do you expect for the price. Great airport hotel."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, we used the Castle Hill car park, that was a 15 minute walk, but cheaper. Before going, I checked that I could leave our baggage in reception and the response was quick and helpful. The rooms were lovely and spacious for the three of us. All the extra’s, like body wash, shampoo etc smelt lovely. Nice to have decent toilet roll. Loved the kitchen with the dishwasher, fridge & coffee machine. Would definitely stay again."
