Top Cranfield University Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Milton Keynes by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It’s worth the value as the free breakfast and parking was included with the price. The check in process was smooth and the shower room has body wash and shampoo provided. I didn’t have any issues with the property or staff."

Kents Hill Park Training and Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"My second time staying here. The place is really easy to find and preferential parking for overnight visitors makes it a bonus. I was checked in quickly and went to my room. The location is central to a multitude of dining options be it fast food, pub food or restaurant. I again used the Nuffield gym on site which went great. The shower was powerful and hot and allowed me to de-stress. Had a good night's sleep and enjoyed a wide variety of food for the buffet breakfast on offer. Overall I really enjoyed the accommodation. The only thing that detracted was that I paid nearly 20% more for a very standard double room as opposed to the Superior Double room that I stayed in last October. I will still look to stay here in the future though."
