"Stayed here while attending an appointment at Papworth Hospital and had a great experience. The hotel was excellent value for money, in a peaceful location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. The staff were lovely, and having a bar and restaurant on site was a real bonus. We ordered drinks and dessert, both of which were delicious. I would happily stay here again if the price is right."

Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure staying here"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for an early flight. Just a short walk to tge terminal."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"If you need a place to stay close to the Stansted airport this was an excellent option. Shuttle service was pain free, hotel was clean and quiet."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"It was a spacious room with two single beds and an arm chair that became a single sofa bed. The room itself was lovely and modern with all essentials provided and the location was excellent for sight seeing and being a walking distance away from a variety of restaurants. There was also a gym that was decently equipped with some weight machines and cardio machines. The thing that stood out the most though was the staff. I accidentally left behind my e-book reader after it fell down the side of the sofa bed. Despite not being able to originally find it, once I provided them with a more specific location they happily checked again a second time and called me once they found it which was very much appreciated. They even took the time to package it up for a courier I arranged to collect it which was really nice of them. Overall I would really recommend staying here and will be staying here again if I ever find myself back in Cambridge. If I am ever"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived midday and they tagged our luggage and kept it in a secure area. The room itself was clean and while it wasn't roomy it did have enough room to move around (We did keep knocking against the tv that was mounted on the wall). The bed was either queen or full size but it was actually two different mattresses put together which we actually liked because it gave each sleeper their own space. The bathroom is circular and small but manageable. We stayed for one night."

DeSalis Hotel London Stansted

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, nice food menu. Room comfy and large for a group of 4. They even do airport transfers but we didn’t need to use this. Would definitely stay again"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG
