"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."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Stay had a couples massage which was really nice Parking was great but should make sure you check car in would have been nice if they did that when booking hotel. Shame a couple of things werent available on menu but otherwise all good Will come back agin if in the area"

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"All staff members were friendly and accommodating. Great breakfast. Rooms were lovely, the beds were super comfortable with great pillows too. Bar service amazing. Definitely worth a high star rating."

"Great stay"

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"If you need a place to stay close to the Stansted airport this was an excellent option. Shuttle service was pain free, hotel was clean and quiet."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived midday and they tagged our luggage and kept it in a secure area. The room itself was clean and while it wasn't roomy it did have enough room to move around (We did keep knocking against the tv that was mounted on the wall). The bed was either queen or full size but it was actually two different mattresses put together which we actually liked because it gave each sleeper their own space. The bathroom is circular and small but manageable. We stayed for one night."

DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, nice food menu. Room comfy and large for a group of 4. They even do airport transfers but we didn’t need to use this. Would definitely stay again"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for our overnight stay"

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."
