Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a superior double room which we had stayed in previously. The decor was slightly tired and the A/C was quite noisy. Staff as delightful as always and breakfasts are excellent. Delighted to join in with International Champagne Day and enjoyed a glass of fizz and a lovely chat with the impressive head sommelier."

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The website stated parking was provided, but when we arrived we were charged a substantial extra - not very welcoming. On Sunday morning we were woken by a very loud alarm. The staff's reaction was incompetent and seemed to reveal a complete ack of Fire awareness or training. No attempt was made to reassure visitors, ensure that everyone was accounted for or inform them that it was a false alarm. Restaurant staff were helpful and attentive."
