Easy to find, this guest house is perfectly run. On a bus route, with both bus stops right outside, to centre of the city in 15 mins. You won't want to try to park in Cambridge, we tried and gave up. Take the bus - all day for under £4. Room has TV, alarm, fridge and use of ironing facilities.... More

Found this B & B at short notice after rejecting a nearby "B&B" which we had booked online from Australia. It turned out to be a workers accomodation type guest house with no live in host. And our room was double booked. At Hamden nothing was too much trouble for our willing and friendly hosts. Could not complain about anything.... More

I used this b&b for 5 weeks before moving to the area. I can't fault the service provided and the location was perfect for me. I booked a single room and had a couple of different rooms while I was staying there and they were all clean and comfortable. The rate was good value for money as I was paying... More

First class venue. Clean, comfortable & an easy place to stay. Friendly. Breakfast can be big or small, as you wish. On site parking. Easy & frequent buses into Cambridge, which is just a few miles away. Only one potential problem - only one local restaurant/ pub with food in the area. I would recommend Hamden House to others.

Very clean and comfortable. We had a room view of the garden, on the first floor, lovely and quiet. Breakfast was nice and lots of it. I would definitely stay again.

The owners left us alone which is ok but we have found that the B&B's we have stayed at have been much more personable than this one. If you are looking for just a place to sleep and a greasy breakfast this is it.

Needed a B&B in the Cambridge area and booked here due to reviews on Trip Advisor, and because of price compared to many others in the area being much more. Although not walking distance to Cambridge centre and not in an area with much to do, for anyone with a car this is ideal. Room was spacious and very clean.... More

We were lucky to find this guest house as our stay was in the same week as the Cambridge Folk Festival. I booked online and Don the owner responded very quickly and was able to fit us in on a cancellation . We provisionally booked as we had not received our tickets for the festival at that point in time.... More

I Stayed at the Hamden during the Cambridge Folk Festival. I do not drive but I did not have a problem with getting from Cherry Hinton into town as we were on a good bus route, with bus stops within sight of the guest house. There were also ample shops for my needs, just a few yards from the guest... More

Let me just start by saying that because we didn't have breakfast, and it's a bit too far from centre to walk in, I've only given an Average, but if it's the right location for your stay, I would absolutely recommend it. My husband and I stayed for two nights at Hamden with our niece. The proprietor was very pleasant... More
