Top Whipple Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"Clean room, good breakfast options, good location."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

8/10 Good

"I left a hand-written note requesting more sugar for the room as it had not been replaced the day before. What I received were half a dozen shrivelled, stained packets which were unusable and placed in the basket so I did not notice them until I came to make a coffee the next morning. This felt like a deliberately nasty act because I had left a note. I reported it to a chap on reception and handed him the packets but he only asked me if I wanted them replaced. I told him not to bother, I just wanted to report this. I wouldn't say he was that helpful or particularly apologetic."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Large and spacious hotel with welcoming vibe. My room was very comfortable, especially the bed. It was quiet and had useful things such as an iron. Great bathroom. High quality fixtures and fittings. All very modern and clean. Large choice of well prepared food at breakfast. Fast, friendly and efficient check out. Hotels.com, on the other hand, was nightmare. Messed up my booking, accused me and the hotel of lying about it and took nearly a week to refund me."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in central Cambridge. On site washing machines were an added bonus. Would stay here again."

The Regent Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great. Room was simple and functional. Lots of cold breakfast choices."

8/10 Good

"Great location. They offer storage as well."

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very convenient, clean and efficient hotel. The only downside was a very disappointing shower"
