Novotel Cambridge North

10/10 Excellent

"All Brodsky Very very nice staff"

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here before my wedding and Patrick was so welcoming - we had a lovely time however they don’t have a laundry service or a steaming service or normal hangers to hang things which was a bit hard. Everything else was great"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The Wilde is super convenient to Cambridge attractions within walking distance. Every staff interaction was helpful and pleasant. Though rooms are fairly small, due to thoughtful design, they do not feel cramped. We would stay in a Wilde Aparthotels property again."

"Staff went the extra mile!"

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

"Great room and beautiful central atrium Maybe change the coffee machine to a better quality one as cumbersome with ill-fitting biodegradable coffee capsules. Excellent stay - lovely room and great location. Definitely recommend and we will definitely stay again!"

Turing Locke Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Convenient location 15 minutes outside of Cambridge, new hotel in a new neighbourhood. Great staff, very good facilities. One recommendation is to request the couch/sofa that converts to a bed, the other option is uncomfortable."

Arundel House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our lovely room felt like a B&B. We opened the window. I don't think our room was air-conditioned. Excellent location by the river and Jesus Green, and walkable from Bridge Street. We enjoyed dinner and happy hour"
