FAQs about hotels in Cambridge







The Inspiration for Genius

Open-plan and open-minded, Cambridge is best known for university colleges dating to the 13th century. King’s College is the most popular, and its chapel choir is internationally famous. Although accessed from cobbled King’s Parade, it is best viewed from a punt on The Backs, the part of the River Cam behind.

Cambridge punting is an institution and gives great views of Queen’s College Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs at St John’s College. Upstream is Jesus Green, site of an outdoor pool and a fantastic beer festival. Next to this is Midsummer Common, a park home to the annual Strawberry Fair (and the occasional cow). Opposite are the college boathouses - get up early to see the rowers in action!

Cows also roam the Mill Pond meadow, where the river leads south to Grantchester, a quaint village with a lovely cafe. Places to eat in Cambridge include riverside restaurants and typical English pubs like The Eagle, drinking hole of DNA founders Watson & Crick.

Cambridge shopping options include a daily market (in Market Square), the Grafton Centre and the exclusive Grand Arcade, the latest addition. The Scott Polar Museum and free Fitzwilliam Museum are 2 of many fantastic Cambridge museums.

Stansted Airport is connected by train to the city’s accommodation choices on Booking.com.

    We enjoyed walking around the colleges. The market was fun. The botanical garden is lovely. We had many options of halal restaurants for dinner - not the case in every town/city. Unfortunately, as it was not term time, evensong in King's Chapel was not on. I wanted my partner to hear it as it is so beautiful.

    Cambridge is a beautiful and interesting city, but I was sorry that my visit wasn't in term time. Then it would have been really buzzing, and I would have been able to experience evensong at King's College chapel.

    It's a lovely town with a lively centre, and lovely old buildings. The river is charming, and it's very relaxed. People can go punting on the river, or eat / drink in one of the pubs and restaurants that look onto it. All the high street shops are here, and there's a market in the central square. Prices are high enough here, as it's constantly busy, so you don't really get last minute bargains. Therefore, book early!

    Cambridge is a very pretty place with lots of charm & historical interest. We filled each day just discovering its magic! We watched the heron just standing in a stream. We saw huge swathes of blue windflowers near to The Backs. Delightful!

    What a beautiful city!

    What a beautiful city! Lots of lovely walks, beautiful architecture, friendly people, delicious coffee (tried Hot Numbers and Bould Brothers) and vegan food spots (Chai Walla is fully vegan and Venezuelan stall at the market had delicious option), shopping, good transport links. Would also highly recommend punting, you won't regret it, especially if you are lucky to get good guide who tells most interesting facts of colleges and bridges. I booked directly online with Rutherford's Punting, that's probably cheaper than buying in person.

    Beautifully decorated, clean and new hotel. Comfortable room with a really nice bathroom and more amenities than expected. Breakfast was amazing. We ate in the hotel restaurant both nights as the food was great and our son particularly loved the kids' buffet. Fabulous pool. Good location, lovely walk along the river into the city centre. Super family friendly. We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again if visiting Cambridge in future.

    This hotel is a little gem, close enough to walk into the centre of Cambridge with parking available too. The staff were all super friendly and the whole place was spotlessly clean. After reading some of the reviews I agree our room was a little dated but that doesn’t bother me it had every thing we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

    This is our favourite place to stay in Cambridge… just off the vibrant Mill Street, but tucked away so that you don’t have all the noise at night. Spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed with everything you’d need for a night or a week, and the most comfortable bed in all of the UK! ☺️. If this place is available, book it!
