Quite well located, though a little difficult to find (local signage poor). Good bus service to Cambridge centre, the stop 9 or 10 minutes walk from hotel. Accommodation satisfactory and staff friendly - a (Duty?) Manager very helpful regarding an incident the first night. Seemingly no nearby dining and the hotel's bar offering extremely limited choice; not one sparkling wine... More

As always with most Holdiay Inn Express Hotels the breakfast is unlimited and free and the rooms are marginally better than a premier inn / travel lodge This one is hidden by the airport and is a congested 15 minute drive to the city centre or a straight non stop 5 minute drive. It has free parking unlike other city... More

Chose HIE as it seemed reasonable price compared to cambridge's overpriced hotels. You also usually know what you are going to get in HIE. This is a New HIE so had a nice newish feel to it. But some areas I did think looked a bit grubby and needed a bit of a elbow grease. LOCATION Location is a little... More

Check-in was quick, efficient and friendly. The room was a fairly standard Holiday Inn Express setup, though the TV was an old analogue 4:3 cathode ray unit. Beds were comfortable, if a bit narrow. Strangely, a choice pillows: one harder, one softer – and carefully labelled as such. Excellent light-obscuring curtains. Very little storage space for clothes, but then it... More

After reading some of the other reports posted after I had booked, I arrived at the Holiday Inn expecting the worst, however it wasn't too bad. Yes , the breakfast was average, maybe offer bacon as well as sausage for a change ,the same could be said for the scrambled eggs, maybe boiled as an alternative? The pillows, I agree... More

This chain of hotels is medium priced and geared for short stay rather than holidays. And the hotels ( which are franchises) in my experience do the job well. And this one in Cambridge is no exception. I feel we had value for money. Friendly service, comfortable clean rooms and an adequate breakfast with a variety of choices. We will... More

YOUTH HOSTEL - NO SLEEP We booked in for 2 nights - not to a hotel but to a place overrun with near to a 100 Italian students - it was, in effect, a youth hostel.  There was nowhere to sit in the lounge area, throngs of students around the 'business' computer area, watching football & absolutely screaming when there...
