ibis Cambridge Central Station

Decent clean rooms with ok facilities, bed, shower etc. Nice bar / pizza / snack area downstairs which whilst ok in terms of food / drinks quality, suffers from painfully slow service, despite there being seemingly plenty of staff behind the counter

Great breakfast. Full English. We didn't stay as we live close by. Raquel our waiter was extremely pleasant and efficient. The surroundings were warm and cozy, comfortable chairs and settees.We couldn't ask for more on cold wet English morning

The best hot chocolate I have ever had, thanks to Raquel. Thanks so much! Clean rooms, not fancy, pretty basic but you get what you pay for. No complaints at all, a nice comfortable way to spend the night without breaking the bank.

Spending the weekend in Cambridge from London, selected the Ibis based on location to the train station and proximity to city centre (around 15-minute walk or 8-minute cab ride). Checking-in is a bit of a nightmare due to the ground floor layout. Reception is more like a booth squeezed in between the seating area and lifts, which makes it extremely difficult for large groups to congregate. The overflow can sometimes extend to the automatic entrance/exit doors. The 2 lifts are tiny, meaning realistically only 4 people with a small suitcase each can fit at one time. The rooms are fairly spacious with decent hanging space and the beds are relatively comfortable. However, the toilet/shower layout is reminiscent of those found on trains with the semi-circle shape and large creaking doors. Rooms are not particularly soundproof either as we were able to hear next door guests showering too. Breakfast on the first floor is very good with a wide selection ranging from cereals to fry-up and pastries. The ground Chill 2 zone is also excellent for eating/drinking options. The Happy Hour on a Friday & Saturday from 5-7 is also an added bonus. Staff are generally friendly and accommodating, but there was confusion around whether breakfast was included on my booking and took discussions with 3 separate members to sort out. Overall, our stay was ok but would not return in a hurry.

Hotel is 5 min walk from the train station. 15 minutes bus ride to the city centre.. Near supermarket and several cafés. Room is clean and spacious n well maintained. There is complimentary tea n coffee n cookies in the room. Nice lounge area at the ground level that serve food and drinks.
