What guests think

Reviews of The Duxford Hotel Cambridge South M11 Jct 10 highlight friendly, helpful staff, generally clean rooms, and a convenient location by the railway for Cambridge and IWM Duxford, though train noise and a paid parking charge affect some stays.

Room comfort is mixed, with some praising modern, spacious layouts and big showers, while others note small or firm beds and pillows, tiny TVs, warm rooms, or loud or ineffective air conditioning. Breakfast is frequently rated good with plenty of choice, though a few mention undercooked items, machine problems, or limited vegan options; evening food is basic and limited but serviceable. Overall, it suits short stays focused on convenience and price rather than full-service amenities.

The hotel could do with a refurbishment of the corridors and communal areas. The carpets are dated, worn, and not that clean. The parking is limited. Good commuter hotel. Soundproofing works from the outside but not as good from room to room.

Room was clean and well laid out, but beds were not that comfortable. Breakfast offered a good selection. Looks like some sort of work is being carried out in/around the hotel at the moment, so a good portion of the carpark is being used for the portacabins and work area.

Overall it was good for the price, reception staff vg, rooms clean, shower good, BUT one pillow is just not right and because of the one pilloew you also notice the quality of the mattress is not the best.....do two pillows each and you might not notice the mattress quite as much. Breakfast was quite good as well. £10 parking charge as well.

Chicky to have a parking charge NOT mentioned while booking or part of booking process. Not a location you would go on foot or public transport. V practical for my purpose

While the property was clean and tidy the staff friendly it was let down by the property being next to a working railway line that seemed to have maintenance going on from around 12 pm till 3 am which made sleep difficult. Also while the room was nice there were no USB points in the room which in this day and age was surprising as was having to pay for parking

Tired, old hotel. Carpet stains. Chair stains. Dirty mirrors. Corridors smell of chemicals. Staff checked me into someone else’s room. Staff unable to give me a VAT receipt. Filthy cups at breakfast. My bathroom stank of damp. Road noise in my room with presumably no sound insulation from the outside. Banging noises in the hotel from 6am. Mouldy bathroom ceiling. No water available at breakfast. No bin in the room.

We arrived at 11:30 at night for a late check-in as we had been to a local festival. Check in was efficient, however, our room was not clean (toe nails all over the floor) and had obviously not been vacuumed. Due to our late check in we decided not to contact reception and leave things as they were. Breakfast was also a poor selection, cold, and very busy. The location of the hotel is great though for train links to Cambridge and London.

The room was a little dated and the window allowed a fair bit of noise in from the train tracks outside. The room I had was definitely priced high, borderline unreasonable for what you got. The tv in the room was tiny. Washroom was clean and well lit. The carpets in the room had some stains, especially around the door.

The staff were brilliant. The hotel was clean and what we wanted. The bed was not at all comfortable, was lumpy and you slid away to the edge. It had a mattress topper on to detract from this. The pillows were realy lumpy and hard and the duvet was tiny. When there were 2 of you in bed there was a gap at the edge if the duvet as it was too small.

Rooms noisy next to train line. TV is from the 90s - needs updating. Placing towels in the bathroom on the towel rail rather than on the bed would be more helpful when getting out of the shower. Shower was great. Sockets on both sides of the bed would be nice. Parking charged at £7.50/night but should be free for guests and I'd look elsewhere because of that. Breakfast reasonable. Staff friendly. They also operate the Red Lion over the road so can do meals like curry, pizza, burgers etc.

The staff at this hotel were exceptional. After 4 days in the UK, I can honestly say that they were the mostly friendly people I've met over here. The room was spotless and much nicer than I expected. The area is beautiful and the hotel is perfectly located to go visit areas like Cambridge or the Imperial War Museum. If I come back soon, I will absolutely be staying here again.

Staff are attentive and do a good job of listening to their customers. Excellent transportation with the neighboring station for Cambridge, London and Stansted airport. Trains do create some noise but not an issue unless the windows are open. Food and drink options at the hotel are good, and the next door pub has additional choices.

Stayed only one night in visiting Duxford Air Museum, and ate out so can't comment on the food. But the hotel was excellent, right next to the railway station and M11. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, room was comfortable and had aircon. Only niggle was the overnight parking charge but overall I would thoroughly recommend it.
