Top Whipple Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Great modern hotel with a bit of character and flair, set within a purpose built community with a really nice feel. Well located within a 10-15 stroll of the park and ride, so ideal for a Cambridge stay. Parking was £10 for 24 hours in the park and ride."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet location with a 20 minute walk into town centre. Helpful friendly staff, great stay"

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Work in Cambridge for one night, friend have the Wedding there a couple years back. So we decided to stay at the hotel. Location wise is a 10 out of 10, very close to Kings College, only about five minutes walk. Walking to the shopping centre is also around five minutes where you can find all the shops. Our room was facing the Riverside, which was pretty quiet during the night. Parking was pretty easy only that £26 was a little bit steep. Overall, I think the hotel was up to its reputation and most likely we will be visiting again."

Novotel Cambridge North

10/10 Excellent

"All Brodsky Very very nice staff"

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here before my wedding and Patrick was so welcoming - we had a lovely time however they don’t have a laundry service or a steaming service or normal hangers to hang things which was a bit hard. Everything else was great"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The Wilde is super convenient to Cambridge attractions within walking distance. Every staff interaction was helpful and pleasant. Though rooms are fairly small, due to thoughtful design, they do not feel cramped. We would stay in a Wilde Aparthotels property again."
