Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"ONLY STAYED ONE NIGHT. BUT WE WERE KINDLY GREETED AND CHECK-IN WAS QUICK. ROOM CLEAN AND NEAT"

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"The room could do with some maintenance, the bathroom needs renovating and one do the lamps in the bedroom was faulty. The restaurant was useful for dinner but quite high prices. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the terminal building which is very handy."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

8/10 Good

"Very clean and comfortable. Took a while to find the switch for the electric blinds and had to go back down to reception for help - it wasn’t obvious. Signage in room would be very helpful!"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Really good experience. Nice hotel, close to the airport and an amazing breakfast included."

Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Ramada Stansted was excellent. The room was spotlessly clean throughout. The beds were like a dream and the bed linen and towels were excellent. The staff on reception were friendly and welcoming and on entering the Ramada, you could see how inviting and clean the reception was. We did not have time for a breakfast, due to our early flight. However, we have had many deliciously tasting cooked breakfast at this particular Ramada in the past and really enjoyed it. When we stayed on 2nd September, the man on reception was fantastic, very helpful and very welcoming, which was a bonus straight away. We would give him 5 Stars *******."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Check in and check out was very efficient. The room was spacious and clean. Staff were very helpful with regards to parking options. There was loads of good breakfast options."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best places to stay in Cambridge , right next to the Central station. Very convenient to go to London and other destinations. Being used to North America, i have come to expect hotels to have air conditioning and after going around the UK in hotels with no AC. The ibis in Cambridge with its super modern rooms, AC and large baths are a huge relief. This is such a gem of a place in Cambridge close to the University and all the Major shops."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Look for a building that says POLICE as the only hotel sign was on the door. Staff was very nice. Dining area is beautiful and breakfast was good. Room was clean and air conditioning was good."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Work in Cambridge for one night, friend have the Wedding there a couple years back. So we decided to stay at the hotel. Location wise is a 10 out of 10, very close to Kings College, only about five minutes walk. Walking to the shopping centre is also around five minutes where you can find all the shops. Our room was facing the Riverside, which was pretty quiet during the night. Parking was pretty easy only that £26 was a little bit steep. Overall, I think the hotel was up to its reputation and most likely we will be visiting again."
