Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very handy for stansted airport stayed at this hotel many times clean good breakfast and nice rooms and staff helpful"

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Good stay overnight… breakfast was Good .. what they don’t tell you is it’s 15.00 per night for parking"

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

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

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"It was a mixed bag - mostly positives, but with a couple of inexcusable negatives. Pros: The hotel is new, nice interior decor and amenities (small but well equipped gym, narrow swimming pool but with sauna/hot tub, nicely done, laundry room in basement with free use of washer/dryer, underground carpark - a rarity in Cambridge (though at a fee), apartment style rooms with kitchen including pots/pans/plates/cutlery/microwave etc etc, decent bed and bathroom). Staff at front desk were great. Cons: One major and significant issue was the duvets were very poor, with huge lumps of filling in some pockets, while others were completely empty, leaving you with lots of cold spots. I asked for a replacement but it was the same. Clearly an issue with procurement quality, and something critical when sleeping in a new place. I caught a cold from the aircon and the unevenly insulated duvet. Second was the housekeeping staff who reeked of body odour. Not just one, but two different staff members - both male I should add - absolutely stank out my room. Third was a general issue with phones and communication. When I asked one of the housekeeping staff for a replacement duvet at 4pm, they never got back to me. I called again at 9pm, then still didn't come. Eventually someone came an hour later after a further call. Calls to room service were often left ringing for ages and not answered. Breakfast: it was 'ok' - standard full English, with pastries/bread etc, but a bit unimaginative."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and immaculate well appointed rooms. Modern and new, fresh rooms. Rooms have kitchenette though we did not use. Excellent location for touring Cambridge & punting boat tours. Very walkable with lots of restaurants & shopping nearby. Would definitely stay again!!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

8/10 Good

"Easy to find and park at the hotel - clean room and staff were helpful. Breakfast was decent too. There was an iron and board in the room and WiFi was good enough for teams calls."

Novotel Cambridge North

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly, and it was easy to get to."

White Hart Braintree by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very enjoyable (cereal followed by eggs royal) and the bed was extremely comfortable. nice touch with the added mini screen for the shower curtain to ensure no splashes on the floor, the three downsides, no lift and double set of stairs, the bath, having an overhead shower would have been better with a flat bottom (as in a shower bath) rather than a traditional rolled bottom bath which was quite slippery and, finally, the wardrobe looked very much past its best (more like old utility furniture than antique, but overall a reasonably priced comfortable hotel for a night's sleep"
