"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."

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable and so handy for the airport. Good choices for breakfast , including gluten free. Happy to recommend."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely stay! The hotel did exactly what we needed. The late food was really helpful, the beds were comfy, and the food was tasty. I also accidentally left my cuddly toy behind, and the staff found it for me and kindly kept it safe until I was able to come back and collect it. That was really appreciated! Overall, a very useful and comfortable stay, with helpful and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!"

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"I was only in the hotel for a matter of hours, but was a good enough room etc!"

B&B Hotel Cambridge South

8/10 Good

"convenient location bar prices reasonable nice room"

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."

Stansted Airport Lodge

8/10 Good

"The hotel could do with some tlc and was ok for a one night stay.Our room was clean but it did have a leek in the bathroom."
