We were welcomed by a lovely young man called Justin who couldn't do enough for us. The hotel is in a great spot, right next to the train station and load of parking spaces. This was our first time visiting Cambridge, we were here for a gig at the Corn exchange which is only about 30 minutes walk which means plenty of food and refreshment opportunities on the way.

Four (all solo) stays so far, over 2 years. Very convenient location; surprisingly well-soundproofed, given adjacent main-line railway station; handy for local buses as well as trains; very friendly staff; other clientele also pleasant and friendly. The standard room would be rather cramped for 2 people (there is only 1 moveable chair) but it is perfect for my solo stays.

Lovely welcoming staff - practical, straightforward, informal, and gently fun. Pleasant room with some funky but practical features. Would have liked a recycling element to the bin, e.g. separate out clean paper/ card, plastic and mess.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the welcoming, informal atmosphere at ibis Cambridge, and especially that our reception team made such a positive impression. It’s lovely to hear that they were able to look after your riding kit, invite you to join the celebration during your stay, and make you feel genuinely welcome. We’ll certainly share your kind words with the team — they’ll be thrilled to hear them! We’re also pleased that you found the room pleasant and practical, enjoyed the little touches, and were able to make use of the member discount. Most importantly, it’s wonderful to hear that your stay was a positive experience compared with other hotels you’ve used, and that you would be happy to choose ibis more readily in the future. Thank you too for your very useful suggestions around recycling, our green service, breakfast and parking. We appreciate you highlighting these areas, as guest feedback helps us understand where we can continue to improve. We’ll also take your comments regarding the condition of some bathroom and room elements on board. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Cambridge again soon — perhaps on your next business trip! Kind regards, Medea Front Office Shift Leader

Joy F. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

£216 for a tiny room with a limescale crusted toilet bowl (room 256) and no breakfast is extortionate. We will not use Ibis again. In August we stayed at the top class Clayton Hotel with breakfast included for £195 without breakfast it was £154 for a luxurious superior room. Unfortunately the Clayton was fully booked and as my husband was having major heart surgery at Papworth and we needed to stay the night before his op we had no choice but to find a hotel very near the train station. I wish I could upload a photo of the limescale crusted toilet bowl.

Faye R. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is very convenient for the station and all staff I engaged with were so friendly and helpful. Unfortunately though, it was not comfortable or particularly clean. There were significant yellow stains on the hand towel, mattress topper/protector and duvet. I stripped the bed on my first night as the topper was incredibly uncomfortable. I discovered them that it had been put on upside down with the plastic side facing upwards. I then flipped it the right way up and discovered the stains, which didn't make me feel at all comfortable sleeping "on" it. I removed it from the bed. I found the bed far too firm, we have a firm orthopedic mattress at home, but this was ridiculous and I woke with awful pain in my left shoulder. I also found the flat sheet quite rough. I asked for a second duvet and hand towel and these were provided without any fuss- which I greatly appreciated. I slept better the second night, as I sandwiched myself between the two duvets. One as a sort of topper, and a nicer bottom "sheet" as the duvet cover fabric was so much softer. The other as a regular duvet. In the morning of my departure, I stripped the bed, a habit I picked up from my mother. Then I discovered the yellow stains on the duvet- the one I'd had beneath me. Understandably I didn't feel great about the cleanliness of the bedding. The room itself seemed clean enough. The bathroom likewise seemed clean, although the pod-like nature of it was very strange and made me feel as though I were in a train or plane type bathroom. The floating toilet was also very disconcerting as when I sat on it, it dipped downwards... I'm really not that heavy... The breakfast on the Saturday morning was also disappointing. The orange and cranberry juice was so diluted it was basically water. The coffee was very unpleasant. This was much better on the Sunday, the juices were much stronger, as you'd expect. I didn't brave the coffee a second time though. The food was fine, I appreciated the choice of stuff or crispy bacon and that there were soft yolked eggs. I very much enjoyed a free coffee from the cafe downstairs using my "no clean" voucher. I'd like to say again how lovely all staff were. I don't think I'd choose to stay here again though. I don't mind basic, but I do expect clean and comfortable.

We stayed for one night. The reception staff were excellent and really friendly (nice Irish lady and a man maybe with a Spanish accent??). The room was nice and clean with a hand written welcome card. Excellent location too. Just one bit that would’ve been better is breakfast; the quality isn’t great. the mushrooms tasted weird, hard bacon, and the coffee was made with coffee mate (at least it tased like it did ). However the rest of the hotel and the staff more than made up for this.

Thank you for your kind feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are delighted to hear that our staff made a positive impression and that you enjoyed the cleanliness of your room, as well as the location of our hotel.
