1. The Cross Keys

0.2 km from Market Square

"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."

Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Room is clean, good space, big parking lot but full of cars. Good sound proofing, almost hardly hear anything from the plane noise. However neighbours were very noisy, at 4.30am, sounds like there was a party starting, loud music and talks, screaming. Unsure due to the thin walls or this family particularly wanted everyone to know they were up and ready to celebrate."

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Lovely clean bedding and comfortable bed. There was no coffee or tea despite there being a coffee machine and kettle. The room description said there would be bathrobes and slippers (we were in a suite), but there weren't any. The sink in the ensuite bathroom was a bit tired. Generally, the bathroom could do with a light refresh. Friendly staff on check-in."

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent for our visit to Duxford. Arrived by train, 1 minute walk to hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Night before our visit to IWM used kiosk in lobby to order taxi for our ride to airfield and back. Not a lot of dining choices if you don’t have a car, but no problem for us. Breakfast buffet is very well prepared with various choices for hot or continental. Had dinner here too and food was also very good. Highly recommend if you need to stay in this area."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, and very well appointed hotel close to many attractions"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good location for an overnight stay before a flight"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great find close to the centre of Cambridge. Easy (but expensive) parking, nice room, friendly and helpful staff and everywhere within walking distance"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It was fine and easy to get to airport"

DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

8/10 Good

"Room was okay but a little basic"

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."
