We had stayed here in 2012 and had nothing but good things to say about it. Sadly, this year things have changed. Although it is in a wonderful location - an easy walk to everywhere - we felt that there had been some drastic cost cutting. Prices had gone up considerably, our bathroom was not very clean - and plumbing... More

I stopped over at the University Arms for just the one night for a conference in Cambridge and was very pleased with the hotel. The staff at the front of house were very polite and extremely helpful in recommending me a nice restaurant in the city. I was very happy with my room which was extremely smartly presented and importantly... More

Firstly I was confused because the entrance to the hotel looks nothing like the photos on the website. There has been a very ugly, and now dated, extension built on Regent Street. However the foyer and public areas were beautiful, as was the dining room and bar. Our room had positives and negatives: it was a mini suite - a... More

My husband and I loved this hotel. The outside has had a makeover in the 60's. It is dreadful, but don't let that put you off. The beautiful reception, circular waiting area/dining room and best of all the breakfast room hark back to the early 1900's. The huge breakfast room is an absolutely beautiful timbered room, which was once used... More

I look forward to staying... More

The hotel is wonderfully located, which is its main attraction. The staff were friendly and helpful, the bar pleasant, and the breakfast decent. My room was just fine. The property is a bit old, as some reviewers have remarked, but although worn in spots is certainly not shabby. I enjoyed my stay, and would stay there again.

This hotel has been needing an upgrade for some time. Cambridge is such a busy city though that hotels are always busy which does not give some hotels the incentive to improve appearance or customer service. I was there to work so being put next to a low roof with very noisy kitchen fans was a major problem. They claimed... More
