Top St. John's College Hotel Reviews

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel provides great customer service. There is a real attentiveness to their guests. The hotel lounge is a great space to relax and good quality food and coffee is served for breakfast."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

8/10 Good

"The Hotel overall is nice. It's 10-12 minutes from thr city centre and King's College. Unfortunately, the Hotel is under construction and the dining area was closed off. Breakfast is decent, but limited compared to something like the St. Ermins in Westchester District, London."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The room was great with a good view of the river and lawn area. Plenty of space in the room. The leisure facilities are very good and the staff there were super-helpful. The bar was so-so, waited a while to get served and then the wine I wanted was only available by the bottle and not the glass. 30GBP a day for parking felt a bit steep!"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

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

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."

Christs College Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Great location. They offer storage as well."

Premier Inn Cambridge City Centre - Corn Exchange/Lion Yard

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, with market, food, and shopping all around. We had a nice, spacious room as well. Easy hub for exploring by foot."
