We had 4 nights at the Helen Hotel which is in a fairly charmless area of Cambridge near the station but handy to central Cambridge with a bus-stop outside. Our room was quiet, clean and comfy, though a little small for 2 travellers from Australia with large suitcases. The staff - very friendly and helpful but a little jaded by... more

The Helen Hotel is a small hotel located in the Southern half of the city of Cambridge, close to the station and Addenbrooke's Hospital. It's approximately 25 minutes walk from the centre of the city. Nearby is a new leisure development with a cinema and ten-pin bowling. The hotel has a very flash-heavy webpage which whilst being stylistically pleasing was... more

Stayed one night after reading the favourable reviews. Good to be able to park right in front of the hotel (this was midweek). My room was a little compact for a double, but as I was on my own, this was more than adequate. The bed was really comfy, and I liked the hefty, lush furnishings - impressive curtains and... more

Booked Helen Hotel over the phone and stayed for two nights two nights (Friday and Saturday). Hotel is approx 15 min walk from the station (heading out of town) and about 25min from the town centre. Room was definitely smaller than expected with a retro 70s feel, oldish carpets and rubbish stuffed behind the bedside table! Bathroom was tight. Breakfast... more

I stayed at the Helen Hotel for just one night, to go to a friend's wedding. I made an intial enquiry via the website, which is rather disconcertingly flash, but actually booked over the phone. At all times the staff were really helpful and friendly. Both bedroom and bathroom were spotless and the bed vwas very comfy indeed. Breakfast was... more

The hotel is clean and comfortable. We had a twin room with a very small but clean and perfectly functional shower room(£80per night). Though the room was on the main road it was not too noisy (on a Saturday night) but there was a little noise from the room above. The room was well maintained with very slightly dated decor,... more

The hotel was clean and tidy and generally we enjoyed our stay very much. The major drawback with this hotel is that it is a long walk to the city centre and back, though there is a bus service. We stayed for 3 nights and on one of the days our rubbish was not taken away when our room was... more

We stayed here for one night and paid £80. The room was quite small - the smallest of the 10 hotels we stayed in in Great Britain. The bathroom was spacious and immaculate - like new. It had attractive tile on the walls. Full English breakfast was buffet style and pretty good. There was ample free on-site parking. more
