Top St. John's College Hotel Reviews

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the complimentary drink upon arrival! The breakfast was plentiful with great variety and the staff was very friendly. Our room was charming, clean and quiet with a great bed!"

Turing Locke Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant efficient staff and good studio with excellent facilities. A handy tip is that you can park overnight (6pm-8am) on the street right opposite the hotel for free, spaces are limited but I got one for both of the nights I stayed. Even if you pay for a few hours, it's cheaper than £20 per night the hotel charges."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - it’s not central but if you have business in Cambridge’s west campus, it’s excellent. It’s about an horizon to walk its the centre of Cambridge, and the U1 and U2 busses plus a couple of others come out here. The hotel is well-kept, with a nice lobby fully of comfy seating and spots to get a bit of work done. Restaurant and cafe in the hotel, plus another cafe across the courtyard, along with a Sainsbury superstore. The rooms have small fridges, kettles and 2 bottles of still water daily. The rooms are quite pretty and spacious."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. Quirky layout on several levels, lots of cosy snugs and areas to sit. Nice and cosy bar. Room spacious, quiet and a comfortable bed with crisp beddings. Very enjoyable"

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"So convenient to the Train Station!"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Best staffs and best vibe for Cambridge. Must stay if you visit to Cambridge"

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!"
