Top St. John's College Hotel Reviews

Turing Locke Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable spot"

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and helpful, room was large and spacious, comfortable bed."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"It was a mixed bag - mostly positives, but with a couple of inexcusable negatives. Pros: The hotel is new, nice interior decor and amenities (small but well equipped gym, narrow swimming pool but with sauna/hot tub, nicely done, laundry room in basement with free use of washer/dryer, underground carpark - a rarity in Cambridge (though at a fee), apartment style rooms with kitchen including pots/pans/plates/cutlery/microwave etc etc, decent bed and bathroom). Staff at front desk were great. Cons: One major and significant issue was the duvets were very poor, with huge lumps of filling in some pockets, while others were completely empty, leaving you with lots of cold spots. I asked for a replacement but it was the same. Clearly an issue with procurement quality, and something critical when sleeping in a new place. I caught a cold from the aircon and the unevenly insulated duvet. Second was the housekeeping staff who reeked of body odour. Not just one, but two different staff members - both male I should add - absolutely stank out my room. Third was a general issue with phones and communication. When I asked one of the housekeeping staff for a replacement duvet at 4pm, they never got back to me. I called again at 9pm, then still didn't come. Eventually someone came an hour later after a further call. Calls to room service were often left ringing for ages and not answered. Breakfast: it was 'ok' - standard full English, with pastries/bread etc, but a bit unimaginative."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and immaculate well appointed rooms. Modern and new, fresh rooms. Rooms have kitchenette though we did not use. Excellent location for touring Cambridge & punting boat tours. Very walkable with lots of restaurants & shopping nearby. Would definitely stay again!!"

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!"

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."

Sidney Sussex College Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"None"
