Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ibis Cambridge Central Station from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ibis Cambridge Central Station is frequently chosen for its convenient location right next to the train station, making it ideal for travellers arriving by train, and within walking distance of the city centre and the Cambridge mosque. The rooms are considered modern and well-equipped, and the building's design effectively minimizes noise from the nearby station, ensuring a quiet stay. Breakfast receives high praise for its extensive selection of both continental and English options; however, some guests felt that parking was difficult to find and expensive. guests appreciate the hotel as a clean and functional base for exploring Cambridge.
