Best Western Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel, Stow cum Quy

Advantages: Health and leisure facilities, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Poor quality food, very uninviting restaurant, location (if you need to get into town)

...It is a nice hotel in pleasant surroundings but I may have stayed there on a bad day as it's not somewhere i'll be planning to stay again. It's location is on the outskirts of Cambridge so not ideal if you need to get to/from the city centre. A big negative point for me was the local traffic in the morning. I had to get to a meeting in the city centre and it took about 10 minutes just to get out of the hotel! It eventually took about 45 minutes to travel the few miles into town but I can't blame the hotel for that. Just be warned, if you need to get somewhere, leave yourself plenty of extra time for sitting in traffic. The hotel has a health and leisure club which looked very nice although I never had time to use the facilities when I stayed. The hotel (and leisure club) car park is big enough to allow most guests to park their car... Read review

Advantages: Independently Owned & operated Good Quality
Disadvantages: Very Few

...Best Western Hotels are among the world’s largest hotel brands but is actually somewhat unusual. This international hotel chain is made-up of individually owned and operated hotels and inns around the globe. However, reputedly it is not easy to qualify for membership of Best Western – prospective members must meet some very exacting standards and each hotel in UK is independently inspected on an annual basis by the AA. Globally there are around 4,000 hotels in the group whilst there are several hundred in the UK. Some are bustling city centres hotels, others are nicely converted Elizabethan lodges and some are plush Georgian style country manor houses. Among Best Western hotels in London are the Delmere Hotel, Hyde Park, the John Howard Hotel, Kensington, the Mornington Hotel, Lancester Gate, Raglan Hall... Read review

Advantages: 3* Hotel in a 5* location
Disadvantages: Noisy rooms.

...This Best Western hotel is one of about six Best Western Hotels all in this old part of Istanbul known as Sultanahmet. It really is in a very convenient location and the LOCATION is its greatest asset. It is a three star hotel in an area containing five star holiday attractions. The hotel advertises its roof terrace as the sort of restaurant under the stars of everyone's dreams. I thought it was jaded and thus overrated with a distant view of the sea which was hardly on the waterfront. The rooms are OK. I had a de-luxe room which had been reduced on-line from an advertised price of Euros 134 to Euros 75.The TV had CNN and BBC World and the bed was very comfortable. I found the decor a bit drab. A buffet breakfast on the roof was fine but the service was non-existent. Didn't really matter though - the stuff was all there, I... Read review
