"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

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff: friendly and helpful. Very handy for the station. Comfy bed, clean bathroom, great blackout curtains and power sockets next to thd bed"

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! You have everything you need. I will return."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Everythin was excellent. Very comfy and quiet room."

Rectory Farm

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, very good value for money. Parking is very good as is contactless booking in. Did not see any staff. Breakfast would have been a nice option. We arrived after a gig at 11am and left around 10am. Did exactly what it says. Have stayed here several times and always good."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location near to the centre of town and not too far away from the station which is rather out of town. Beautiful old building and comfortable albeit compact room. Very nice staff and we loved everything apart from the breakfast - self-service and rather poor quality cold food items with little choice. It was a surprise as it didn’t chime with the rest of the hotel which lent itself towards a more upscale service so hopefully this is constructive feedback."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, we used the Castle Hill car park, that was a 15 minute walk, but cheaper. Before going, I checked that I could leave our baggage in reception and the response was quick and helpful. The rooms were lovely and spacious for the three of us. All the extra’s, like body wash, shampoo etc smelt lovely. Nice to have decent toilet roll. Loved the kitchen with the dishwasher, fridge & coffee machine. Would definitely stay again."

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t get over how comfy the bed was, definitely need to buy one of these mattresses for home!"

Novotel Cambridge North

8/10 Good

"Stayed as a family of 4 for 1 night. The rooms were really modern and clean and staff generally friendly. The kids enjoyed using the pool."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, clean room no issues"
