1. The Cross Keys

0.3 km from Walden Castle Ruins

"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 Walden Castle Ruins Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very good value for the money, very convenient for the airport with the shuttle."

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."

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room was okay but a little basic"

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Very handy for Cambridge. Room very clean and good size. Good bar and restaurant on site, plus Sainsburys local in same block. Only downer was loose toilet seat - couldn't be bothered to complain about it."

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."
