For a no frills place this hotel ticks a lot of boxes. Simple but well laid out and quiet rooms; comfortable beds; efficient service from the reception staff; an unexpectedly good breakfast. Check in had a couple of hiccups but easily resolved. It is our 2nd visit. We would happily come back.

The service was amazing.Kelly was so kind and friendly throughout. Veronica from the desk helped us a lot in choosing the right pizza. We had the hot and spicy pizza and it was so juicy and tasty. Kelly and Veronica were stars of the day! Sowmya from reception was so kind, smiling and welcoming. Overall had a great experience

Check in is quick and convenient. The hotel has a contemporary design and everything is comfortable.The rooms are clean and minimal but have all you need. The bathroom is a little weird as it is an elevated cubicle.Breakfast is a good mix of cooked and continental so something to suit everyone.The hotel is conveniently located by the train station but I found it to be quiet that I wasn't disturbed by outside noise.It is about a 30 min walk to the main university buildings.

I had a wonderful stay at Ibis Cambridge, thanks in large part to the exceptional service provided by Sowmya and Susana. They went above and beyond to assist me with printing materials and accommodating additional breakfast requests, all with such kindness and efficiency. Their support truly made my experience outstanding. I appreciate their friendly and professional assistance, which added to the overall positive experience at the hotel. I would highly recommend Ibis Cambridge to anyone looking for a warm and helpful place to stay.

Only had a hot chocolate here while waiting for my friend's train.It wasn't too expensive and the hot drinks were great.Would recommend for anyone seeking a cool cafe close to the station to pass time.Also has some nice sofas that were unfortunately occupied at the time- one person took possession of an entire sofa that me and my two other friends would have enjoyed đŸ€ŠđŸœâ€â™‚ïžđŸ˜„Other than that it was a chill experience and atmosphere tooPS: we didn't lodge there, just used the cafe

Location was super convenient for me being right at the train station and it's an easy walk to downtown Cambridge. Room was clean and comfortable. Basic amenities, including iron and board. Discount in the coffee shop downstairs. All around great value.

Stopped at the coffee shop and was greeted by the friendliest team—Gerry, Veronica, and Ines. Gerry made a fantastic espresso, and Veronica’s cappuccino was spot on. Ines recommended a delicious pastry that perfectly complemented the coffee. Great service, warm atmosphere—I’ll definitely be back!
