Premier Inn Cambridge City Centre (Corn Exchange/Lion Yard)

A central base

Few Cambridge hotels are this close to the middle of town. The Market Square, Great St Mary's and King's Parade are a few minutes on foot, and the Corn Exchange is next door for evening concerts and comedy. The hotel says the university is about a 12-minute walk, which covers most of the central colleges.

Rooms and dining

Room types include doubles, twins, family rooms and accessible rooms, with Premier Plus options for a few extras. The on-site restaurant is Thyme Bar & Grill, which serves breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is Premier Inn's buffet with cooked, continental, vegetarian and vegan choices, and up to two children eat free with a paying adult.

Getting there

There is no on-site parking, and Cambridge's centre is largely closed to through traffic, so arriving by train, bus or park and ride is the sensible option. Ask the hotel about the nearest car parks if you do need to drive. Once you are here, almost everything visitors come for is walkable: the colleges and the Backs, punting on the Cam, the Fitzwilliam Museum and the market, with Grand Arcade and Lion Yard for shopping two minutes from the door.
