Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"We liked our stay here. Very nice area with supermarket and deli and pizza place nearby. Very nice room and comfortable bed. Liked the downstairs area and bar. Only issue is £20 a night parking but can park in park and ride and walk 10mins to hotel. Central garden is attractive"

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."
