Nice double room, clean and comfortable bed/mattress. Some access to drinking water for filling water bottles would have been good. Otherwise, a really nice little hotel, decent breakfast, friendly staff on the front desk. Wireless internet very basic, though you can pay for faster service - this is a very old fashioned service to be honest. I'll stay again though.

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.
