"terrible service"

Trying to contact this Premier Inn to cancel a booking that my husband made and there is no way to contact them directly. No email address and no one answering the phone at the Hotel. Tried booking into the system with the correct booking number from the email provided and the name on the booking and apparently the details are not valid. I know we all have to be safe but poor customer service can't use COVID as an excuse anymore we are more than a year in and other businesses have managed to provide great service.

"Perfectly acceptable"

I stayed here for a couple of nights with a friend as a mini-staycation break. We came by train which was about 20 minutes walk away. We were early for check-in but the receptionist was very helpful and located us a room that was ready. The room was in good condition, the beds were comfortable and we had no problems with the air conditioning. Overall the room was clean although we did find a couple of hairs in the bathroom which was slightly disappointing. Breakfast on both mornings was good. The staff promptly seated us, took our order and brought the food to our table. They were available when we needed refills or condiments. The food and drinks were good quality and served quickly. The staff overall were friendly and courteous although on the second day we were told "you're late", being all of five minutes late for our booked breakfast time! On our second day we asked for more tea and coffee for our room and the member of staff was very helpful, sorting it out for us immediately. The hotel is approximately 20 minutes walk from the city but there is a bus stop nearby. We found the number 3 bus was regular and took us directly into the centre, saving us the walk. Checkout was painless, just dropped the keys in the box. The staff said goodbye as we left. Overall we had a good, pleasant stay and would use again if we are in the area.

"Terrible time"

We had to change rooms 3 times, the menu for the evening meal consisted of curry only and no soft drink, the staff do not listen to your requests or orders at all and we ended up having two hours sleep because of the issues with having to move rooms 3 times during the night. Staff were rushing everyone and were extremely mismanaged! A fair throw from the hotel we visited in August 2019! It has gone down hill rapidly! I think we gave 5 stars for the last review I’m afraid this gets 1

"A Night and Day to Explore"

Having Stayed in various Premier Inn Locations around the Country this Premier Inn is in a good Location and nice walk into the City, Through the parks and along the canal is lovely, especially on a nice day sat watching the Punting boats and the scenic buildings. Cambridge is Beautiful in the centre, with lots of restaurants/bars and food markets!!! Now to the Room, unfortunately the room we stayed in was very cold (in July you thought this would be nice, However it wasn't!). This lead to a very poor nights sleep as the heater wouldn't come on and with the room being at the back of the hotel and shaded means that there was no natural warmth to this room. The Bed was very comfortable, but this is even more teasing when you can't sleep due to the internal temperature of the room and what sounded like a full piece Wind Orchestra coming from the air/heat fan in the ceiling. Finding a member of staff was more difficult then the best 'where's Wally books' and to have a phone conversation was impossible! Overall, I would still stay in a Premier Inn, Not this one based on 'my experience '. It's a Shame as this is the first time I have ever felt the need to make a review like this.

"Below the standard of a Premier Inn"

We all know what to expect from a Premier Inn but this fell short. Air Conditioning would not adjust so had to turn it off which made it uncomfortable. Not enough towels, had to ask for more. Understaffed in the restaurant, which was obvious and food quality was just about OK. Breakfast was luke warm at best. Shame really as location is good, with parking but not to the usual standard.

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.
