Hilton Cambridge City Centre
A nice quiet space int be enter of bustling Cambridge. Room was clean and well maintained. Nice breakfast with good choice! Didn’t eat in the evening or use the bar. Car parking is easy although a little expensive, but so is parking everywhere in Cambridge. A great location to walk out from.

Premier Inn Cambridge City Centre - Corn Exchange/Lion Yard
Cleaning the room is only done if you explicitly ask for it at the reception each and every day! And you have to ask them for fresh towels. The bedlinen was never changed during our stay. This is rather cheapskate for a £ 147 per night hotel.
