"Our room was very clean and well presented. However, I was at a loss as to why we were allocated an accessible room as I definitely would not have made such a request. Booking was made over a month before so … Basin in bathroom tiny and knee high so with a bad back not so helpful. Room furniture nice but a bedside table on both sides would have been helpful to put drink/jewellery/fone/book etc! Also a chair? Handy for sitting or laying clothes on."

"One of the best places to stay in Cambridge , right next to the Central station. Very convenient to go to London and other destinations. Being used to North America, i have come to expect hotels to have air conditioning and after going around the UK in hotels with no AC. The ibis in Cambridge with its super modern rooms, AC and large baths are a huge relief. This is such a gem of a place in Cambridge close to the University and all the Major shops."
