Top St. John's College Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms. Only drawback was limited parking within the property. However, parking available just outside the Hotel."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and wonderful cafe in the lobby."

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Very satisfied"

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"5 star Restaurant food was amazing."

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The website stated parking was provided, but when we arrived we were charged a substantial extra - not very welcoming. On Sunday morning we were woken by a very loud alarm. The staff's reaction was incompetent and seemed to reveal a complete ack of Fire awareness or training. No attempt was made to reassure visitors, ensure that everyone was accounted for or inform them that it was a false alarm. Restaurant staff were helpful and attentive."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location near to the centre of town and not too far away from the station which is rather out of town. Beautiful old building and comfortable albeit compact room. Very nice staff and we loved everything apart from the breakfast - self-service and rather poor quality cold food items with little choice. It was a surprise as it didn’t chime with the rest of the hotel which lent itself towards a more upscale service so hopefully this is constructive feedback."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, we used the Castle Hill car park, that was a 15 minute walk, but cheaper. Before going, I checked that I could leave our baggage in reception and the response was quick and helpful. The rooms were lovely and spacious for the three of us. All the extra’s, like body wash, shampoo etc smelt lovely. Nice to have decent toilet roll. Loved the kitchen with the dishwasher, fridge & coffee machine. Would definitely stay again."

West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location and comfortable and well maintained lodgings. Thoroughly recommend. Breakfast in hall was wonderful."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, clean room no issues"
