Hotels With Bar in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

I chose this hotel specifically because it had a washing machine and a kitchen, as I was dropping my child off at school and needed to help them set up their dorm room for a few days. It was a great choice! The location is convenient, right next to a Sainsbury's supermarket. There's a coffee shop nearby for breakfast, and the pizza from the adjacent pizza place is delicious. The bus stop is only about 100 meters away, with connections to the train station and the city center. Just be aware that the buses aren't very frequent, so it's a good idea to check the schedule beforehand. The hotel facilities are very new, and the room was spacious. The kitchen appliances were also fully equipped. Overall, it was a good stay.

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment I checked in until I left. The room was clean, cozy and exactly what I needed for my trip. The location was also perfect—it was close to all the places I wanted to visit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay, and I’ll definitely come back next time!

A lovely hotel with proper breakfast but the drawback is the size of room being a bit small which made our 3 luggages hard to store. Overall it was manageable as we only stayed for 1 night. The free parking provision is a great advantage!

Stayed 3 nights so that we could visit family and friends in the area. Booked a twin room which had adequate space for 2 of us and separate area with small table and chairs if needed. Beds were comfortable and the room was warm (once I was shown how to activate the heating) Unfortunately the bathroom was very cold as the hotel boiler needed repair so the radiator wasn’t working. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is quite dated and in need of an upgrade which is on the planning. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially when I realised I’d left my own personal pillow on the bed. They tracked it down and a friend collected for me the next day. Definitely stay agin when next in the area.

My stay at Novotel Cambridge was extremely disappointing due to serious cleanliness issues. Upon checking into Room 205, I discovered visible blood stains on the duvet. This is not a minor oversight — it is a basic hygiene failure. Clean bedding is the absolute minimum standard any guest should expect. Finding blood stains immediately raised concerns about the room being properly cleaned and inspected. I reported the issue and was informed that the bedding had been cleaned again. However, when I returned to check, the stains were still there. This was both frustrating and alarming, as it suggested a lack of proper quality control within housekeeping. Only after escalating the matter was it properly addressed. Charlotte, the manager, eventually upgraded us to an executive room and provided complimentary breakfast, which I appreciate. However, this does not change the fact that the initial room condition was unacceptable and should never have happened in the first place. An upgrade is a service recovery gesture — it does not erase the hygiene concern or the distress caused at the start of our stay. I hope the hotel seriously reviews its cleaning procedures and room inspection standards to prevent future guests from experiencing the same issue. Unfortunately, based on cleanliness alone, I would not rate this stay highly.

Had a comfortable stay at the ibis in Cambridge. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The best thing is the location — it’s right next to the train station, which makes it really convenient. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room has a great view too. There’s a bar open 24 hours and a nice lounge area on the first floor to sit and relax. No complaints at all. I’d happily stay here again.

While the hotel itself and rooms are fine. You have to pay extra for parking which is clearly just for capitalist gains as it’s on property. They advertise a pool (one of the main reasons we picked the hotel), which we were told on arrival has been closed for years, yet no thought to advertise this online was thought of? No instead they keep a picture of said swimming pool online when it would be a simple manner of taking one picture down to stop disappointment. They keep it up to attract visitors unfortunately. The water in the room for shower and bath simply did not go hot, but rather a low lukewarm. Breakfast also cost £15 which we opted not to do due to competition prices being so much lower for the same thing. Ultimately, it was a disappointing stay mainly due to their misinformation than the room itself.

The hotel is the basic we needed when we used it. The room is clean and the double bed is spacious enough for 2 people. The breakfast is great with a variety of breakfasts. My only concern is that the taxi is quite expensive compared to Uber, so I will recommend Uber instead of using the hotel taxi list.

The location was excellent for exploring the Cambridge area. I stayed in a room with a sofa bed alongside a double bed; the spacious layout makes it perfect for families or travelers with a lot of luggage. True to the Holiday Inn Express style, the room was immaculately maintained, allowing for a comfortable rest.

The hotel is a bit far from the main Cambridge University area, requiring a bus ride, but it's still very convenient as most Cambridge attractions don't have parking, so taking the bus is the usual way to get around. The front desk staff were also very friendly and patient in answering questions. While early check-in wasn't possible, they did offer luggage storage. My only minor complaint is that there was no phone signal in the hotel, so I relied entirely on Wi-Fi – though mobile network coverage across the UK isn't great in general.
