Kathryn from Robertsbridge

Check-in date:

We have stayed at this hotel on a few occasions. On this visit we were charged £16 per night for car parking which has not been the case when booking in the past through another web site. Also the extra charge was not made clear when booking.

However the staff are mostly very helpful indeed.
In the evening we dined at the hotel as always at least once, however the food was not up to the usual standard.

We have become fond of the University Arms and will continue to return.
They are great with the dogs too, which makes life there even more pleasant.

Check-in date:

Excellent location, very good staff, afternoon teas can be recommended in the comfortable bar watching the world go by. very English. Rooms are comfortable but dated, is definitely ready for a refurb at the prices charged.

Top Tip: try the traditional chinese dim sum lunch directly across road at Charlie Chans, it is a Cambridge institution.

Gerald from Norwich

United Kingdom

Check-in date:

Room 136 far too hot, ceiling stained from an old water leak, bathroom floor tile cracked and completely loose, water from shower leaked through shower screen seal all over the floor, drenching the clothes prepared for the day which had to be on the floor as there was nowhere else to put them.

Public rooms fine, breakfast quite good, toaster a bit daunting. Service always friendly, helpful and with a smile.

Top Tip: Good pub: The Plough at Fen Ditton

Check-in date:

Good bits: great location, impressive exterior, sumptuous communal rooms, excellent breakfast.

Bad bits: horrible poky little room, too hot, limescale in the bathroom, constant noise, awful view, couldn't sleep due to noise/ventilation system, car park far too small, massively over-priced.

Top Tip: Avoid the area around the hotel late Saturday night, it's full of drunks.

Situated in the heart of this beautiful city this elegant grade II listed building offers both elegance and ease of access to all the city has to offer. Enjoy a warm atmosphere and a friendly welcome for that home from home feeling.

Very friendly and helpful reception, and when I could not find a kettle in my room the duty manager very rapidly fetched one for me. Comfortable bed, though the room was a bit small.
