Top River Cam Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing. The room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. Nice, pleasant and safe neighborhood. But breakfast was very disappointing. Either a very expensive large buffet; too much if you're not a breafast person, or the Luqa cafe. Which had limited and small portions, totally fine, but delivery took 20-25 minutes and food was cold, four mornings in a row!!"

Novotel Cambridge North

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly, and it was easy to get to."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel provides great customer service. There is a real attentiveness to their guests. The hotel lounge is a great space to relax and good quality food and coffee is served for breakfast."

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"As a family we discovered this hotel when looking for somewhere to stay for my nephew’s wedding at South Farm, Royston. From start to finish the staff on reception could not have been more helpful reassuring me that all would go smoothly in terms of booking in and out individually and at different times, taxi recommendations, meal times, bedding arrangements for small grandchildren. I arrived a day earlier than my family and Naomi I believe her name is could not have been more charming, welcoming or helpful. Equally the case when Karolina later took over on reception. Whilst Emily and Helen had fewer interactions with me, they were just as professional and helpful on the 2 occasions I needed advice. The rooms were excellent: even the classic is a very good size and comfortably accommodates 2 easy chairs and a coffee table alongside a desk and chair. I’d booked a junior suite for my daughter and family as they needed extra space for their 4 year old and 18 month old: they were blown away by it! As I stayed on for a few days R and R post wedding, I was able to make sure of the leisure facilities: the pool is a good size and the sauna and steam room excellent. I couldn’t recommend highly enough."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

8/10 Good

"The Hotel overall is nice. It's 10-12 minutes from thr city centre and King's College. Unfortunately, the Hotel is under construction and the dining area was closed off. Breakfast is decent, but limited compared to something like the St. Ermins in Westchester District, London."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The room was great with a good view of the river and lawn area. Plenty of space in the room. The leisure facilities are very good and the staff there were super-helpful. The bar was so-so, waited a while to get served and then the wine I wanted was only available by the bottle and not the glass. 30GBP a day for parking felt a bit steep!"

Centennial Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and front desk staff were very helpful"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"Clean room, good breakfast options, good location."

Rectory Farm

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice accommodation, with a fabulous country house setting."
