Have stayed there on numerous occasions and the rooms are cosy but lovely and perfect for me on my own. Great location too, easy to cross the river and be in town in under 10mins. I will def stay there again. Staff even helped me getting a taxi to the station this morn when i thought i would miss my train bit i just made it!! So thank for that guys and thanks for a lovely stay in Cambridge! ##### philip Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 16 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed overnight here so we could catch a nearby folk music gig. Everything was outstanding! If you're looking for that "Sign of the Prancing Pony" romantic inn experience, this is it. I half-expected to see Aragorn ensconced in the corner. Breakfast was absolutely terrific: my wife had the vegetarian full English and I had the regular, both superb. Strong, flavorful coffee made fresh. Staff were always helpful and friendly. We'd definitely stay here again in Cambridge! ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 4 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had an amazing couple of nights and would definitely return, lovely place, lovely staff wonderful breakfast , thanks guys ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great staff, great location. ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelique 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was fun. ##### Angelique Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely room and facilities.

Parking was challenging, but otherwise everything was just what we needed! ##### Brianne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The location by Jesus Common is excellent for walking to town and to the Wilberforce Road Sports Ground. We found parking about 7 minutes away. We were a little disappointed that our 'deluxe double room (Super King) was the same room ('double room') that we had the year before. It is quite cosy but difficult to open the small window due to secondary glazing and difficult to clean teeth due to shelf above the tiny washbasin. ##### Linda Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff is very friendly and willing to help. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 27 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location with a short walk along the river to the main town.

Great pub with friendly staff ##### sally Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely cosy hotel Lovely hotel but the emergency exit light in our room (4) was so bright it was difficult to sleep. Couldn’t fault it otherwise but obviously this is an issue restwise Really pleasant staff and nice location just out of town ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great spot at a good price with friendly staff Great place to stay. The pub is cool, the food is excellent, and the staff are super-friendly. The room was nicely decked out and although it was a hot night, there were numerous fans in the room to help out. Great shower. Dog friendly too, with treats and lots of welcome fuss. Location is convenient and there are paid parking spots along the road so it wasn’t a problem. Recommend. ##### Lee Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Shirena 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice, shower, sheets, comfy mattress, but a bit spoiled by the damp stains all over the walls. room needs a bit of tlc. Staff lovely and most helpful. ##### Shirena Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne 17 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Waterman has it all. Really clean. Lots of facilties (pub/cafe next door/short walk into town). The coffee in room was really good. I slept like a log despite being in a bedroom above a pub. The hubbub had gone by 11.30pm which is reasonable for city accommodation. ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Waterman - overnight stay Lovely pub and room facilities. Stayed during the England Euro game so extremely busy but great atmosphere. Bar and food facilities great - parking quite expensive but that applies to the whole of Cambridge centre. Plenty of room in the double deluxe and everything available in the room for an overnight stay. Only small issue is proximity to busy road and the noise from the road traffic. Ideal for our purposes as we had a late night out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Geenie 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very hot in the room, some proper air con rather than a fan would have been welcome. Food was pretty good, more gluten free options would be welcomed. Staff were very pleasant, and the location was excellent (we were staying over night to see a gig at the portland arms!). Tea and coffee making facilities and water in the room was good (some biccies too would be nice). Shower was good too. All in all would recommend. Wish we'd actually booked for 2 nights not just one. ##### Geenie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sara 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### One night stay The Waterman is in a good location only a 10 minute walk from the city centre, parking is not easy the street we was told to park in was full. The staff were friendly, the room was lovely the problem was there was a green safety light near the door that was so bright we struggled to sleep, as we checked out there was nobody available to speak to about our lack of sleep. ##### Sara Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gonville Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Gonville-Hotel.h6878.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, West Court - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551380.Hotel-Information) > > [Addenbrookes Townhouse with Parking and sleeps 6 ; 5 mins to Papworth hospital](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Addenbrookes-Townhouse-With-Parking-5-Mins-To-Trumpington-Hospital-Sleeps-6.h32647827.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Cowan Court - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551387.Hotel-Information) > > [Christs College Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Christs-College-Cambridge.h7307741.Hotel-Information) > > [Westminster College Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Westminster-College-Cambridge.h30551383.Hotel-Information) > > [Regent Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Regent-Hotel.h4026591.Hotel-Information) > > [Regent Street apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Regent-Street-Apartments.h59951029.Hotel-Information) > > [The Varsity Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Varsity-Hotel-Spa.h41854.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Fenners-Hotel.h9202402.Hotel-Information) > > [West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-West-Court-Cambridge.h35250698.Hotel-Information) > > [Turing Locke Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Turing-Locke.h68459935.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cambridge-Formerly-Known-As-The-Tamburlaine-Hotel.h17161972.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, Churchill College](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551548.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Trinity Hall - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551403.Hotel-Information) > > [LETS Concourse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-LETS-Concourse.h29347134.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Christ's College - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551406.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > > [Nidus Flat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Nidus-Flat.h53777893.Hotel-Information) > > [Rectory Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Rectory-Farm.h4026576.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Homerton College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551435.Hotel-Information) > > [Apple Apartments Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Apple-Apartments-Cambridge.h16012487.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Harvey Court - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551420.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Clare College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551413.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Graduate by Hilton Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Graduate-Cambridge.h22462.Hotel-Information) > > [Downing College Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Downing-College-Cambridge.h91837596.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, St John's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551417.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, King's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551510.Hotel-Information) ---
