Hilton Cambridge City Centre

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely love this hotel, lots of space, great decor, dog friendly, john lewis next door, nice staff. Lovely breakfast. Only downfall small mini croissants not that fresh. Bar food good. Also there was an ice machine outside lift and not water. Was my main concern as both myself and dog getting dehydrated and online ordering was closed. Dog station near bar great idea and area close to breakfast for me to leave dog and eat."
