I stayed at the Holiday Inn Cambridge during my visit – tucked away in a very quiet, wooded area outside the city. While it offered a peaceful environment and a decent breakfast to start the day ☕🍳, the location felt quite remote – especially at night, when it was eerily silent and surrounded by trees. 🌌🌳
The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, with friendly staff and all the basics covered. Just a heads-up: it’s quite a distance from central Cambridge, so be sure to plan your travel accordingly, especially if you're not driving.

Hotel staff friendly and welcoming quick and easy check in process.
Room was clean with plenty of towels and tea/coffee making facilities. selection of both soft and firm pillows.
Restaurant was pleasant though half the items on the menu were not available which was a little disappointing.
Breakfast had a good selection of items including bacon eggs ect and pancakes and cereals aswell as juice and hot drinks.
Hotel is located about 2.5 miles from Cambridge city centre but is easily accessible by foot or taxi or even an e-scooter/bike.

I must say this is how a hotel should be run!!
Friendly positive staff who are helpful with a smile!!
Our TV remote didn't work and a member of staff was there within 5 mins and sorted it...
Extra milk and tea bags for the room no problem...
Breakfast was fresh even at 9. 45am!
A little further out from where I usually stay when visiting Cambridge but it's only a short walk to the bus stop past a pretty lake..
All in all I will be staying here again..
