"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 Hempstead Hotel Reviews

Turing Locke Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant efficient staff and good studio with excellent facilities. A handy tip is that you can park overnight (6pm-8am) on the street right opposite the hotel for free, spaces are limited but I got one for both of the nights I stayed. Even if you pay for a few hours, it's cheaper than £20 per night the hotel charges."

Days Inn by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Great stopover hotel for Stansted Airport"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"1 night stay. Comfy bed. Clean bathroom. Great service. So handy for airport 🛫"

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - it’s not central but if you have business in Cambridge’s west campus, it’s excellent. It’s about an horizon to walk its the centre of Cambridge, and the U1 and U2 busses plus a couple of others come out here. The hotel is well-kept, with a nice lobby fully of comfy seating and spots to get a bit of work done. Restaurant and cafe in the hotel, plus another cafe across the courtyard, along with a Sainsbury superstore. The rooms have small fridges, kettles and 2 bottles of still water daily. The rooms are quite pretty and spacious."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Best staffs and best vibe for Cambridge. Must stay if you visit to Cambridge"

Holiday Inn Express London Stansted Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel. Ideal for me as I'm a regular visitor to London for the football, I find this hotel an ideal base being so close to the airport. My wife travels with me and we find everything about this hotel is just right, the staff are super friendly which is the biggest plus of all. If only my team were as accommodating at keeping me happy."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here. Great place, friendly staff, room was really nice. Still the only downside is having to pay for parking, should be free for those staying at the hotel in my opinion."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean bedroom. Fresh bed linen. Staff helpful and courteous."
