"Wouldn’t rush back"

Stayed on Thursday 10th sept for one night with my partner and 20 month year old son. Found reception Manager when we arrived to be rude When partner asked if any chance room could be ready as our son needed a nap after a long journey to be told quite rudely no 2pm no sooner. We had actually been at another premier inn the night before in london and the staff there made sure they could let us check in early and were extremely helpful shame not here. Just seemed like at Cambridge they couldn’t even be bothered to look on the system to see if our room or another family room was ready just said no because of covid... had a banging noise throughout the night which woke our son up twice, to the point my partner had to get out of bed twice and find staff to inform them. We were told no rooms were above us we were in 330 and wasn’t until the receptionist actually stood in the corner of our room she realised how loud it was and was very apologetic, we had our breakfast refunded and parking due to the noise and lack of sleep. Soon after she had been in our room the noise stopped about 40 mins after as she said could be something on the roof? Breakfast staff were extremely helpful and friendly We wouldn’t rush back as the first impression of the lady when we arrived (assume manager in a suit) was rude and as we both work in hospitality we know first impressions go a long way! Shame they couldn’t even make an effort to look if our room or any room was ready just so my son could have a nap.

"A night out in Cambridge "

Well worth the £40 we paid for a night in Cambridge, 15 minutes walk from the city centre, we wanted a reasonable price car parking £6 for 24 hours and a bed and that’s what we got, stay here and don’t get ripped off in the over priced places yes it’s a premier inn but your going for Cambridge not the hotel 👍

"Disappointed "

Recently stayed two nights and was disappointed, unfortunately it could be down the current restrictions during the Covid Pandemic, the bar was not open but was advised could buy a drink and take it to my room, I gave up waiting and went to the local off licence. The service was not up to the standard I had received on previous visits

"Basic but good value."

Myself and my partner stayed here for a night whilst visiting Cambridge to do some shopping. The hotel is in a great location, with a very quick and efficient check in. Our room was well cleaned, and we had no problems, however the window did have a rather large crack in it, but wasn’t an issue to us. Overall, we would return if the prices stayed as low as they were when we originally booked.

"Disappointing"

We always use premier inn because of their high standard. However this is the most disappointing one we have ever stayed in. The corridors and lifts have clearly not been deep cleaned!!! The room was spotless and comfortable. The air conditioning was switched off at around 10.30 making it hot and uncomfortable during the night. We paid for breakfast at time of booking to be told the only time they had left was 7.00am in the Sunday morning. No mention at time of booking that you needed to prebook!!! Also no mention the restaurant would not be open for dinner. We understand that times are very different and we all must be tolerant. However you need to update you website stating all this.

Hotel description Our Cambridge City East hotel is the perfect place to rest your head when visiting this internationally-renowned university city. A guided tour is a great way to learn more about this beautiful city, which is steeped in rich cultural and academic history. Cambridge is a must for art lovers, with the Fitzwilliam Museum and Ruskin Gallery within walking distance of the hotel. And for an authentic Cambridge experience, you've to try punting on the river. After a busy day, head back to the hotel and sink into one of our brand new, slumber-inducing, king-size Hypnos beds.
