Top Whipple Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Location was ideal for us and pricing within reason. We just spent one night before going on to Ely for a wedding."

West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good

"The staff was very nice and helpful, and overall the building and room were clean. For some reason they put me in an accessible room, which I did not request nor need. Since it was an accessible room, the bathroom was outfitted for accessibility, which made it a bit awkward and a little bit of a pain to use as someone who doesn't have accessibility needs. Additionally, the bathroom wasn't as updated or clean as it could have been. Due to the layout, there was a ton of water damage, mold, and warping on the door and along parts of the floorboards. The breakfast is given in the dining hall, as it's campus accommodation. It was cool to see and the walk over was beautiful, but the breakfast itself left much to be desired."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Very nice room with great bathroom. There was a few stains on the carpet which didn’t bother us so m but it’s a shame having it on light blue carpet. There is a small electric kettle to make tea or coffee which was very helpful after arrival. The only negative thing was the price of parking there £20, which is a extortionate rate for guests of the hotel."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"It was a comfortable stay. Welcomed the £5 voucher to spend in the Ibis cafe, for choosing not have our room serviced."

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent and defo return"

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 Regent Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Breakfast has lots of options"

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."

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"
