Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is extremely luxurious, the staff are friendly and attentive and the breakfast delicious. A highlight that surprised us was that all guests can book a tour of villages around Cambridge in the hotel vintage Bentley.. and it's free! Mike was our driver and tour guide, he was very friendly and told us loads of interesting things about the places we went to. Thank you v much Mike 👍 We'd come back to this hotel just to go in in the beautiful car!!"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The wash-hand basin had a crack in it, so maybe it is due for replacement. Breakfast had a good choice, one little grumble would be the scrambled eggs!!! Very handy for the airport - I will be staying here again in a couple of weeks."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic hotel, with a great staff and location. I would definitely stay there again. The room is on the small side, but adequate; the staff are kind and friendly; the lobby cafe is excellent (we ate two meals there), and it's perfectly located next to the train station and within easy walking or bus distance of Cambridge town."
