Rooms were excellent .. very clean .. very comfy. Breakfast was excellent.. the best in Cambridge. Only complaint was £6.50 for the smallest Bailleys I've ever seen! Apart from that we can't wait to go again! Well done to all the staff who work hard.

Great hotel. Very helpful staff and parking just outside for free in the road if space available. Couple of pubs and restaurants just opposite. 20min walk to the main drag where the river is.

Had a nice stay in this very reasonably priced hotel. The room was a good size, breakfast was great & the staff were friendly. First minor issue was that we were turned away from dining there on 16 Aug 2024 because they had a large group to cater for & we were told to return after 8pm so we went elsewhere. The other issue was that we paid extra to check out at 2pm, but found or electronic key was disabled at 12 pm. Luckily a cleaning lady let us into the corridor & opened the door to our room.

If you need somewhere to stay in a fairly central location, then thus is probably not a bad choice.Had some trouble with the key card that had to be changed, which although wasn't a problem, it was annoying as I just needed to get my head down , as it had been a very long day. Also, the internal door lock didn't work, but I couldn't be bothered to go back downstairs again.It's quite close to a main road, so if you are a light sleeper , you might be better off with a back room.

I stayed there 15-16th September 2024. I booked in about 7.30pm. The receptionist was a Trainee and was excellentThe room was super clean as was the linen. Those three things - welcome, cleanliness of linen and room - are all that matter to me. An added extra - the bus stop into the city and rail station is just outside the hotel. Great bonus. Thanks Travelodge.

Made a booking mistake which required me to sort out at the front desk. However, the staff member helping us was an absolute gem and he was a lifesaver.The rooms were comfortable but nothing special however my friend’s bed had bed bugs in it which was not a great experience.Overall about 3/5 stay

I had a wonderful experience during my stay, and the receptionist Mirza, made it truly memorable. His warm welcome and professional service were outstanding. He was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions and provided great recommendations for local attractions. Thank you Travelodge Hotel, for having such a fantastic team member!

There were power cuts for two consecutive days causing problems for people arriving...Room 234 needs a new floor in the bathroom as water collects and smells awful! The receptionists were excellent in dealing with the problems due to the power cuts and gave us complementary breakfast as an apology for our putting up with the horrible, smelly bathroom. Great breakfast and great breakfast room and bar area.
