Excellent stay at Centennial
Pros:

Excellent location. My room is at the back facing the car park. Very quiet and very comfortable. The room has recessed ceiling lights which are much brighter and nicer than many hotels with a couple of ceiling lights. There's car parking facility which is an added bonus. The restaurant served delicious evening dinner and the young waitress was very efficient and friendly. In fact all the staff are very welcoming. There was a good selection of breakfast choices.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Jolie chambre, hôtel un peu ancien, qui a du charme

Cons:

Chambre qui donne sur une route très bruyante. Prévoir les bouchons d’oreille.
Pour le petit dejeuner ça serait bien de rajouter des yahourts/ laitages

Perfect position, warm and comfortable, nice staff, good breakfast, we would recommend it.
Pros:

Perfect for rail station, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and town centre. Rooms are spacious, warm and nicely decorated.

Cons:

We were in a room with an accessible wet room for a wheelchair. Maybe that is the reason for a poor shower, I don’t know. Sadly, it was feeble and the water did not drain away properly and crept across the floor. Apart from that, it was a great place and I would recommend if.

Very enjoyable. Will definitely stay another time.
Pros:

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Good freshly cooked breakfast. Excellent staff. Free parking at the hotel was fantastic.

Cons:

Only from a personal point of view, a separate shower.
Having said that the shower above the bath was extremely good.

Buses to city centre or 30 min walk
Room and hotel very clean and recently decorated
Dining room was bright and had white linen table cloths and breakfast fabulous

Pros:

Friendly, traditional hotel - there's even a guest lounge, small bar and restaurant.
Breakfast was good too. It's not ultra modern but we like that!
Easy short walk to the station and some of Cambridge's best restaurants.

Cons:

Be ready for some stairs with some of the rooms.

Pros:

Extremely clean and comfortable. Great location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent parking facilities. Also my room was very quiet. Thank you
