Liked the location. It was a tad loud in the morning being above the kitchen, but wasn't a deterrent. Just got us up :) ##### Rachael Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good but no parking Overall good - great staff and service, easy check in check out, the pub downstairs was nice and did good food. The room was clean and perfectly well presented but on the whole a little small for the price; especially the bathroom which had a sink so small you struggled to brush your teeth over it. I specifically searched for a hotel with free parking and there was none, so I had to park a 10 minute walk away on a residential road. Would stay again but I'd get the train next time! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### MAXIM 26 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place.

Nothing was particularly bad and nothing was exceptional except its location to the river and centre. Parking a nightmare and the bathroom sink is ridiculously small, real trouble turning the shower on ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Geweldig! Heel hartelijke ontvangst. Geweldig ontbijt (Eggs Royal en Full English). Voetbal (Europa League) voor ons op een Nederlandse club gezet. Lekker eten. Kamer iets aan kleine kant, maar heerlijk stil en mooi ingericht. Parkeren wat lastiger. Je wandelt echter zo de stad in langs de Cam en door een park. Zeker aan te raden. ##### Melanie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 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 #### Charles 22 Jan 2025 Very nice ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### roxanne 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice place to stay ##### roxanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 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 #### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Gabriel 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The englidh breakfast at the waterman is excellent ##### Gabriel Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bradley 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Small rooms, right bathroom space, but it is a very old pub. Staff were great. ##### Bradley Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie 17 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice base for Cambridge but quite far from centre. Stayed at the Waterman for our anniversary trip to Cambridge. Was a bit further away from town than expected however it was a pleasant walk into town. Waterman welcome was very nice. Stayed in room one. Bed comfortable apart from the pillows we both had neck ache by the 2nd night. Could have done with drawers in the room as the storage was very limited and only 4 hangers for 2 of us for 2 nights. Ceiling/wall fan didn’t work and one bulb in toilet / shower room kept flickering for the 1st 5 minutes of being turned on. Window was small in the room and obscured as it looks over the pub garden. Room had hairdryer and a floor fan and tea / coffee making facilities. Overall a pleasant stay. Breakfast wasn't included if not booked direct which wasn’t clear when booking through hotels.com especially as I had filtered for accommodation that included breakfast. ##### Debbie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brianne 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely pub and rooms! Parking was challenging, but otherwise everything was just what we needed! ##### Brianne Stayed 1 night in Sep 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 ### 8/10 Good #### MARK 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location ##### MARK Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Regent Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Regent.h79385850.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Cambridge.h7727331.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Clare College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551413.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cambridge City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hilton-Cambridge-City-Centre.h8067.Hotel-Information) > > [Turing Locke Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Turing-Locke.h68459935.Hotel-Information) > > [Lux Living Apartments - Alpha Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Lux-Living-Apartments-Alpha-Apartments.h11629098.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Cambridge Orchard Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Travelodge-Cambridge-Orchard-Park.h12064012.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Trinity Hall - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551403.Hotel-Information) > > [Lensfield Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Lensfield-Hotel.h17185181.Hotel-Information) > > [Gonville Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Gonville-Hotel.h6878.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) > > [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) > > [Cambridge University, Churchill College](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551548.Hotel-Information) > > [The Earl of Derby - Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Earl-Of-Derby-Inn.h4190502.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Cambridge.h993753.Hotel-Information) > > [The Varsity Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Varsity-Hotel-Spa.h41854.Hotel-Information) > > [University Arms, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Arms.h26072.Hotel-Information) > > [Graduate by Hilton Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Graduate-Cambridge.h22462.Hotel-Information) > > [Christs College Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Christs-College-Cambridge.h7307741.Hotel-Information) > > [Sorrento Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Sorrento-Hotel.h900680.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, King's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551510.Hotel-Information) > > [Robinson College - Cambridge University - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Robinson-College-Cambridge-University.h14582331.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Cambridge Central Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Ibis-Cambridge-Central-Station.h15401581.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Cambridge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-YHA-Cambridge-Hostel.h11518406.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Cambridge.h68865589.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cambridge-Formerly-Known-As-The-Tamburlaine-Hotel.h17161972.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, St John's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551417.Hotel-Information) > > [Arundel House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Arundel-House-Hotel.h1381852.Hotel-Information)
