"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

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."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfy room. Only issue I had was one of the bedside lights didn’t work and the tv remote controls battery went flat during our stay."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

8/10 Good

"I thought the staff on duty were very good, but I believe the Graduate was understaffed in the bar and restaurant area."

"Room was clean, too warm to start but the air con helped. Staff were nice, no waiting around. Everything we needed was there"

"Really nice and good value for overnight stay, however no amenities such as proper bar or restaurant / breakfast. You can buy limited alcohol from reception and there are vending machines for coffee and snacks / confectionery. You have to drive to local pub / restaurant for cooked meal / breakfast. I would use again when stopping overnight but not for longer stays."
