Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent
"We chose this hotel for a bit of self-indulgence, and the weekend felt like we'd had a full restful weekend. It's quiet, and there's everything you need right there. The food is great; as a vegetarian, I appreciated the tasty tagine, and my carnivore partner had plenty to choose from. The gym is well-equipped, and the pool is lovely. We'll be back soon to try a spa treatment as well. Also, the staff were amazing."

8/10 Good
"Hotel was very easy to get to with plenty of parking, lovely furniture and decor all around. To the rear of property was a small lake with Fish which you could feed if asked reception for food for them. Room was really clean and very good as it had both bath with shower and a seperate shower. Large tv and comfy beds. Pool was slightly smaller than i expected but nice and warm. Changing rooms needed someone to regularly attend and clean especially as bins were always full. Restaurant was very nice could do with a bigger menu however food was tasty and reasonably priced. Breakfast had plenty choices however for some items there was an additional charge which i thought was a bit cheeky. Quiet location from the hustle n bustle 9f Cambridge but not much in the immediate vicinity other than Morrisons. The only downside to hotel when i was there was that both lifts were not working for 2 days which with heavy suitcase or anyone with disabilities getting upstairs was a major issue. Was informed that help with the evacuchair could be used to get downstairs but this seemed a bit excessive. All in all a pretty good hotel and i would stay here again."
