"We loved our wonderful 3-night stay at this exceptional hotel! The location, the staff, the room were all spectacular! The complimentary Bentley excursion around Cambridge with Mike, the most knowledgeable driver ever, was the highlight of our UK trip. The breakfast was also spectacular, especially thanks to Daniela, our hostess! We also loved the complimentary bicycles offered by the hotel! Thank you to all the staff at the Gonville Hotel for making our stay so enjoyable!"

Top Scott Polar Research Institute Hotel Reviews

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had ensuite with a bath which was lovely. The room was very clean and the continental breakfast was very generous. Our room overlooked the park and the river which we really enjoyed, the busy road at night not so much but that's because we are not used to it, it was warm and we needed to keep the windows open which let in more noise. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. There are stairs everywhere so if you have limited mobility this could be an issue. There are ground floor rooms but to access the breakfast room you do need to go up and down stairs and to enter the hotel from the front. Overall we had a good stay at a very reasonably priced hotel."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our visit, liked the hotel which had a cosy friendly atmosphere. Clare was particularly helpful when our television would not work, she made two visits to our room to resolve the matter to our satisfaction. Clare was also very chatty and friendly when we had other queries, a valuable asset to the hotel."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and rooms, beautiful building and nicely located. Rooms were large and my room had a small kitchenette. There is a beautiful restaurant which was where they used to take he old trains, breakfast is also available here too. There is also a lovely staircase with stained glass. Jessica helped me upon arrival and was very friendly and helpful. Tamara the manager introduced herself and also checked the next morning how my stay was. Thank you"

Centennial Hotel

8/10 Good

"Centennial was a wonderful stop for a solo traveler. The breakfast and dinner were both excellent, and service was great. The rooms and spaces were clean and well furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall it was a wonderful stay and close to the Cambridge station. It’s about a mile walk to the city center, which isn’t as far as it sounds. Two things to note: there is no elevator, but the staff will take your bags upstairs if you need the help. If you are someone who is accustomed to air conditioning, bring a travel fan. The rooms can get quite warm in the afternoon/early evening. To be fair, I stayed late summer during a bit of a heat wave. I would recommend this hotel for the price, convenience, charm, and restaurant."
