It is a nice hotel around 15 minutes away from the town centre. No supermarket or fast food shop within 10 minute distance. But good enough to take a rest. Very close to the airport.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Cambridge during my visit – tucked away in a very quiet, wooded area outside the city. While it offered a peaceful environment and a decent breakfast to start the day ☕🍳, the location felt quite remote – especially at night, when it was eerily silent and surrounded by trees. 🌌🌳 The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, with friendly staff and all the basics covered. Just a heads-up: it’s quite a distance from central Cambridge, so be sure to plan your travel accordingly, especially if you're not driving. #CambridgeStay #HolidayInnExperience #HonestTravel #Tripcom #TravelReflections

Excellent service, clean room, good breakfast and dinner. I would like to mention Kate in specific of the reception staff. She was really compassionate and supportive to arrange our room to accommodate 3 adults at short notice, and at no extra charge. We would definitely looking forward to staying in this hotel again. Thanks Kate and other staff members. B K Phadke United Kingdom.
