for a superior room i expected more than a small room with a dest put in the corner and a bath robe only big enough for a ten yr old. big dents in walls, plug in bath stuck closed and couldnt empty it.. staff on check in were polite. in the bar , no draft beer all pipes being cleaned... more

An expensive hotel - unless you can find a deal on the website - We found £89 per room with breakfast. This is a good price considering the Travelodge is now £80! Although the breakfast was excellent (cooked breakfast, continental, waffles, omelette cooked in front of you or even a steak..) it was an extra £15 per person if they... more

Having stayed at the CP Cambridge around 6 times over the past four years, I knew what to expect. Fairly decent service, chain type hotel rooms but the location is superb. Arrived this time and was appalled - booked 3 nights, 2 nights using reward points and one night cash. Called hotel before travelling to make sure they knew that... more

I telephoned the hotel in advance to ask for a discount and got an impressive discount by calling the head office central reservations and suggesting that I might as well stay at the Holiday Inn, they dropped the price by 50% immediately and so I booked a twin room ! I got £80 off the original price and still feel... more

We’ve just returned from 2 great nights at the Crowne Plaza, Cambs. Can’t praise the place highly enough. As my husband has Parkinsons Disease, I had to ensure that the hotel knew his special needs. We weren’t disappointed. A room near a lift and where it’s quiet, which is what we got. Room lovely & a good size, with 2... more

Stayed at the Crowne Plaza, where I usually stay when I visit Cambridge. Our stay was fine. Standard chain hotel type rooms with comfortable double beds, spacious rooms, and a clean bath room. Friendly service. I think our triple accomodation including breakfast was somewhere around 144 GPB per night. It might seem expensive compared to a similar hotel in North... more

We paid £184 for one night with £15.00 car parking and NO BREAKFAST. You are paying for the easy access to the city centre. Don't bother. If you do decide to stay,skip the £15.00 breakfast and go to the Copper Kettle outside Kings College and have a full English for £5.00 watching the world go by in a prime spot.... more

Cambridge can be a complicated city for driving and we would have arrived at the Crowne Plaza in a better mood if the email directions from the hotel had said 'follow the signs to G. Arcade', not 'follow the signs to Lion Yard' (the later signs no longer exist!) . We usually stay in smaller 'boutique' type hotels but were... more

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza for three nights when visiting Cambridge for a conference. As mentioned in previous reviews the location is spot on for exploring Cambridge, it is located opposite Downing College which conveniently was where my conference was. I found my room clean, the decor pleasent and bed reasonably comfortable. Service in the hotel was reasonably good,... more

This is a horrid place. It would be hard to make a hotel more unattractive or uninviting. Decor was dreadful. Carpet was dirty. Pillows was lumpy foam. No service in the bar. "Wine by the glass" was little bottles of undrinkable stuff. They clearly didn't really expect anyone to eat dinner there, and the menu was unappetizing. We had to... more
