My wife and I have just got back from a weekend staying in Cambridge at the Crowne Plaza. This must be the best located hotel in Cambridge - right next to the brand new John Lewis and just around the corner from the new Grand Arcade shopping mall, market and historic colleges. There's valet parking right on site [£15 per... more

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza during half term week with our 2 childen and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I must compliment all of the staff there, they really made an effort to help.

The positives - Excellent Breakfasts - Good Location The negatives - Room a little tired and in need of some updating - Room heating did not work Everything else was as you might expect from this type of hotel. At full room rate it would have represented poor value, but at 50% plus discount, okay value. more

The location of the hotel is really excellent - if fact could hardly be bettered. In addition the rooms are comfortable. However the place is completely soul-less, and the staff lack any real character. This is particularly evident in the bar. This is such a great shame as the city itself is really quite vibrant. Oh - the parking is... more

We travelled in a group of 12 females with 4 of us in each room for a Hen weekend staying 2 nights, Friday and Saturday. Check in was easy and unhurried. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Two of the rooms had towels for two people instead of four. We advised the staff of this on reception. Had a spot... more

I liked it overall except for the staff, some of whom were not very friendly. Some were smiling but were quite bitter in their attitude while others were not even smiling. Pretty disappointed. Rooms are nice but could have been better for a hotel of this standard. The only reason I would recommend this hotel to someone is the location.... more

The location of the hotel is good. In the middle of town and just above the train station. Breakfast is very good, especially if you get there early and get the pastries when they're still fresh. My room was quite basic. The size was ok, but the bathroom could have been in better shape. The worst thing about the hotel... more

Very nice hotel and very friendly staff. Location is near the main street of restaurants and pubs. Good restaurants include Asia (Indian & Thai fusion) and Anatolia (Turkish). High speed internet available in the room, but its billed through Cloud - not the hotel. more
