Apart from all the comforts of a 5 star hotel, the atmosphere - generated by the artwork and well-crafted design themes of Cambridge academia and Grand Britannia - gives the visitor a sparkle to their stay. Traveling from my foreign field, I will return to this corner that is forever England. ##### Terry Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### richard Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Maybe it was just had bad luck, could be a great hotel but was seriously lacking. Aircon and hot water stopped working in my room, but didn’t seem like an urgent matter to resolve, moved room after a protracted process. Six was a disappointment, service was seriously lacking with both food and drinks, staff seemed fair more interested in talking to one another. ##### richard Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Leonard Nov 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay. The room itself was good but the fixed shower head was rather high which allowed shower water to go over the shower screen. We informed the staff os this as an observation but it in no way spoiled our stay. ##### Leonard ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Sep 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Meh This is a pleasant hotel, and the staff were lovely but the decor and fittings are really quite tired. It was fine, I have no complaints; but I really didn't think it was the outstanding luxury hotel which other reviews seem to suggest. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon Dec 11, 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Room small for price paid, breakfast poor quality, heating didn't work, just one pack of biscuits and poor selection of tea and coffee in room ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rashpal Jun 20, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We were not informed when we checked in that there would be a £29 charge for valet parking. As there was a very high cost for the basic room you would think it would be included. Not staying there again. ##### Rashpal Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John Nov 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place very central. No parking available at property unless you pay £29 for additional parking. That is a a little hefty to be honest, and if you park in a residential bay outside, Phone is only £35.. breakfast is an additional cost after an already hefty room rate… £247.12 for one night.. without breakfast and without parking.. Nice central hotel- but circa £300 for a night away- is taking a liberty.. even if it did have a roll top bath 🛁 ##### John Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicola Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Wouldn’t bother Travelled for a friends birthday. We paid over £260 for our room for the night, this did not include breakfast. The room was ok nothing great, the bed was so hard we slept terribly, the air con didn’t work, we opened the window and on the Sunday at 7am the rubbish collectors spent over 10 minutes collecting bottles and rubbish right below our window. We booked a pod on the roof for dinner at 8 and couldn’t get our table until 8.40 as the previous customers were still there. We didn’t get our mains until nearly 10.30 way to late for us to eat we were past being hungry at that point and we all barely ate. Such a shame. Breakfast service was just as bad, waited nearly 45 minutes for our breakfast, had to go up and ask to order coffees and teas. Wouldn’t be returning. ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul May 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Hotel in need of some moderisation, simple things would improve the look and feel such as upgraded lighting in the room / bathroom and some usb sockets. Bed extremely noisy, and bottles being emptied into a skip at midnight and again at 0700 resulted in limited sleep. Only one biscuit and one set of toiletries provided despite a booking for two, all added to the annoyance and disappointment when spending £250 for a single night stay. Poor value for money, there are better options in Cambridge. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Baileys-Hotel-London.h523223.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Cambridge Central Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambridge-Hotels-Ibis-Cambridge-Central-Station.h15401581.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
