A warm welcome. Friendly staff. Great accommodation, clean and comfortable. The bar and dining area is spacious (not easy though finding a table during the big breakfast rush from 8.30-9.30am. But given it's a free breakfast and a great one at that it's no surprise everyone turns up! The hotel is a 40 minute walk into the city centre. There aren't any other amenities close by. Because of this we dined in both nights. A good selection of drinks available at the bar with prices in keeping with many pub prices. Food is also in line with many pub prices. The burgers on the first night were enjoyable and came with two dips and a generous portion of chips. Food is cooked to order. The second night I ordered a steak pie and found the shortcrust pastry to be like concrete! It took a mighty effort to break into the pie and the filling whilst nice was a little dry. Perhaps the pie had been overcooked. The gravy that accompanied the dish was thin and watery and just ran off the outer pastry casing. The member of staff serving immediately sought to resolve this to my complete satisfaction. I mention this as it was the only negative we encountered. A small negative became a big credit to the hotel staff in how he handled it. The hotel is dog friendly which is a nice touch. Overall an enjoyable break away and without a doubt we would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable Stay with Friendly Service We had a very pleasant stay at Holiday Inn Express Cambridge. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with friendly and helpful staff throughout our visit. The rooms were okay, and provided everything except drinking water. Breakfast was organised with a good selection, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and efficient. The location is convenient for accessing Cambridge and surrounding areas, making it a great option for both leisure and business travellers. Overall, a reliable and comfortable stay, and we would happily stay here again.

Room was clean but a bit tired. Carpets throughout were worn and probably hard to keep given volume of traffic. Breakfast was fine.

The room was very clean, but cold, receptionist gave us another room as couldn’t get heating to work, had same problem with the next room. She couldn’t get it to work either but brought us a heater which warmed the room very quickly. She was very good & came back later to check it had warmed up. Would definitely recommend hotel to others
