Our family group were allocated rooms near each other as requested, the rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the bathroom spotless. The double glazed windows didn't keep out the noise of people talking in the car park, and we were woken at 6 am on Sunday morning by people talking in a room on another floor (maybe they had their...

We (family of 4 with kids 12 and 9) stayed here for one night whilst visiting a family member at Cambridge University. Friendly welcome, compact but very comfortable and clean room, cleverly designed and spotless bathroom and a great breakfast. It isnt in the centre of Cambridge, but neither is its price tag! Great affordable family accommodation that exceeded our... More

Having stayed here before we knew what to expect and we were not disappointed as the standards had not dropped, excellant welcome and the room was very clean and also quite. The only thing I would suggest is that the low wall between the breakfast bar and the seating area is moved forward to increase the area in the breakfast... More

I was going to be in Cambridge for business, but I didn't want to spend the 300-400$ for being walking distance to my clients. I chose the HIE because whenever I do, they deliver. This hotel is on the edge of Cambridge. The general vicinity is a little skeevy but the hotel is nice. My room was a little small,... More
