    1 Arundel House Hotel 53 Chesterton Rd 01223/367 701 www.arundelhousehotels.co.uk A converted row of late-Victorian houses overlooking the river and Jesus Green makes this one of the better mid-range hotel choices. Neat and tidy rooms, but mundane modern furnishings. Price: ₤91-110

    2 Author Pick Cambridge Garden House Hotel Granta Place, Mill Lane 01223/259 988 www.cambridgegardenhouse.com Outstanding hotel, the city's best, in a strikingly modern 1960s building a couple of minutes' walk from the centre. The foyer is wide and open; the breakfasts are first-rate; and some rooms have balconies overlooking the river (though the views are hardly riveting). Price: ₤111-150

    3 Cambridge YHA 97 Tenison Rd 0845 371 9728 www.yha.org.uk This well-equipped hostel has laundry and self-catering facilities, a cycle store, a games room and a small courtyard garden, and it's close to the train station. There are one hundred beds in two- to eight-bedded rooms and advance reservations are advised. Price: hostel £19.95 Price: hotel Up to ₤40

    4 City Roomz Hotel Station Rd 01223/304 050 www.cityroomz.com This popular hotel is in an imaginatively converted granary warehouse, right outside the train station. Most of the rooms are bunk-style affairs done out in the manner of a ship's cabin, and there are a few doubles too. All rooms are en suite, with shower and TV. Price: ₤51-60

    5 Crowne Plaza Hotel Cambridge 20 Downing St 0870/400 9180 www.ichotelsgroup.com Immaculately tailored behind a dignified facade, this sleek and slick hotel is first-rate. The rooms are resolutely modern in efficient chain-hotel style. Great central location too. Price: ₤111-150

    6 Lensfield Hotel 53 Lensfield Rd 01223/355 017 www.lensfieldhotel.co.uk Well-kept, medium-sized hotel in Victorian premises. The pleasantly appointed guest rooms are decorated in frilly retro style. Price: ₤91-110

    7 Worth House 152 Chesterton Rd (about 20min walk from the centre) 01223/316 074 www.worth-house.co.uk Pleasant four-star B&B in a tastefully upgraded Victorian house. Rooms are all en suite and have free wi-fi. Price: ₤51-60
