Within the centre of Cambridge , around Regent Street and Parkers Piece in particular there are a number of top class hotels aimed at business travellers, or tourists who want to make their time in Cambridge that extra bit special. They offer all the 5 star facilities you would expect by way of Satellite TV, gym and concierge services. These hotels also benefit from being within a short distance of all the major tourist attractions such as Cambridge University and The River Cam and you can expect to pay anywhere in the region of ?80 (?120) to ?180 (?260) for a double room.
Good examples of this type of Cambridge Hotel are the De Vere Hotel and the Hotel Felix.
If you are on a limited budget and don't mind a bit of a walk there are plenty of B&B's and Guest Houses found near Cambridge University and The River Cam. These are both on the way into town and a walk into the centre shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes depending on where exactly you are. Alternatively, both streets are on major bus routes which would take you 5-10 minutes and cost no more than a couple of pounds (?3-4).
Prices range from ?50 (?80) a night, to ?120 (?200) for some of the larger Guest Houses. One of the benefits this type of accommodation is the family run atmosphere and the often invaluable local knowledge of the owner, so they are definitely worth considering.
If you want somewhere in between the two there are a number of Travelodge type accommodation providers in the area. These offer the look and feel of a Cambridge hotel, but usually at B&B prices. The only downside to this type of accommodation is their out of town location, but if you have your own transport this is not a problem.
Overall, you will not be short of choice when it comes to Hotels in Cambridge. The main things to consider, in order, are:
