"Stayed here while attending an appointment at Papworth Hospital and had a great experience. The hotel was excellent value for money, in a peaceful location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. The staff were lovely, and having a bar and restaurant on site was a real bonus. We ordered drinks and dessert, both of which were delicious. I would happily stay here again if the price is right."

Top River Cam Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, would recommend"

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, great location but the stand out was the staff, every person of staff that I spoke to was very friendly, a lot of the staff were young which in the U.K. could be a red flag however, maybe it’s the Cambridge air but they were all great."

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, who is an artist, loves the decor of this hotel. I found the staff really helpful. We had an odd problem with our room due to the kettle causing an electrical short. The staff were excellent in sorting out the problem and gave us an upgrade. The breakfast is very good and well laid out with options for a personalised service. The beds are very comfortable, we have stayed there before so can compare the rooms. The location is excellent, just near the railway station. We plan to stay there again when visiting family."

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."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Clean room, though grout needs addressing in bathroom"

Centennial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast very clean hotel, staff very helpful good location"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel, it’s really world class. Beautifully decorated, amazing staff, we are always so well looked after. The location is fantastic and our room had a lovely view over Parker’s Piece."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Location was ideal for us and pricing within reason. We just spent one night before going on to Ely for a wedding."

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."
