Top Whipple Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, great location but the stand out was the staff, every person of staff that I spoke to was very friendly, a lot of the staff were young which in the U.K. could be a red flag however, maybe it’s the Cambridge air but they were all great."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Easy arrival and no nonsense facilities, very decent breakfast and good relaxed atmosphere makes this my go to stay when having to be in Cambridge for a few days"

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, who is an artist, loves the decor of this hotel. I found the staff really helpful. We had an odd problem with our room due to the kettle causing an electrical short. The staff were excellent in sorting out the problem and gave us an upgrade. The breakfast is very good and well laid out with options for a personalised service. The beds are very comfortable, we have stayed there before so can compare the rooms. The location is excellent, just near the railway station. We plan to stay there again when visiting family."

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a superior double room which we had stayed in previously. The decor was slightly tired and the A/C was quite noisy. Staff as delightful as always and breakfasts are excellent. Delighted to join in with International Champagne Day and enjoyed a glass of fizz and a lovely chat with the impressive head sommelier."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Clean room, though grout needs addressing in bathroom"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel, it’s really world class. Beautifully decorated, amazing staff, we are always so well looked after. The location is fantastic and our room had a lovely view over Parker’s Piece."

The Regent Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a great location and easy to get to. The staff are friendly. The room is a good size."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Location was ideal for us and pricing within reason. We just spent one night before going on to Ely for a wedding."

West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good

"The staff was very nice and helpful, and overall the building and room were clean. For some reason they put me in an accessible room, which I did not request nor need. Since it was an accessible room, the bathroom was outfitted for accessibility, which made it a bit awkward and a little bit of a pain to use as someone who doesn't have accessibility needs. Additionally, the bathroom wasn't as updated or clean as it could have been. Due to the layout, there was a ton of water damage, mold, and warping on the door and along parts of the floorboards. The breakfast is given in the dining hall, as it's campus accommodation. It was cool to see and the walk over was beautiful, but the breakfast itself left much to be desired."
