De Vere University Arms Hotel

Breakfast was very good. Reception helpful

Hotel looking very tired. Badly in need of updating.

It was well located and central to Cambridge.Within easy walking distance of the venues I needed to visit.

The room had a bad odour,stale 'old' smoke and musty. The staff at breakfast told my the cost of cooked breakfast was£14.50.I had paid for bed and breakfast which I assumed meant 'cooked' breakfast.

The reception staff were spot on, very polite, helpful and friendly - an excellent first impression - keep it up ladies! The location is within walking distance of the train station and was close to our destination for the evening (Corn Exchange) which meant not paying out for taxis!

The lift! It has an old fashioned lift with metal lattice gates which although quaint, was rather slow. There were a lot of stairs up to our room - I actually collapsed half way up (in a fit of giggles though!). A fantastic place, good atmosphere but that lift is a bit of a pain and as I said oh so many stairs to conquor after our night out on the town!

Traditional hotel in a very good location. car parking on site

Our bedroom was very dated & drab. handles came off drawers when opened. bathroom sink was so small as to be very impractical.central heating did not work at all. Air conditioning unit which we used to try and heat the room was bulky, unsightly ands noisy

Staff are friendly and helpful.

The car parking facilities are limited.

The staff were very attentive and welcoming. ANy problem was dealt with promptly and efficiently. Breakfast was excelent.

The mattress was too soft and one tended to roll into the middle as it was clearly worn. The heating was too high and the room slightly stuffy. It was not possible to open the window.

Near Cambridge University and other amenities such as Chinese restaurants, and shops.

The room lights were not working and we were only offered a change of room on the third day of stay.

Small room, needing a facelift. Smell in corridor outside room (304). Bottles and glasses left outside room from previous occupant, and still there when we left. Lifts very slow to respond.

Excellent location. Good shower. First class breakfast. Charming and helpful staff. Older parts of the building attractive. Quaint lift with surreal floor announcements!

A bit down at heel - in need of a brush-up (eg scuffed varnish on furniture and skirting boards etc). Room (north side) noisy from plant outside and nearby carpark.

its situation near my Cambridge college.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout

old meals left outside people's rooms. We arerived at 3pm, and a tray with old food was lying in the passageway, it was still there the next morning despite our telling staff.

Its location was good. Sufficient parking.

The room was very ordinary for the rate and the perception of the hotel. The rooms need to be graded so one does not have hi expectations. We were on our honeymoon, made this known to booking and checkin staff and were very dissapointed.

Good central location. Rooms are of a good size and standard. The reception staff were also very helpful and friendly.

We overlooked the park - which was great when we arrived. But quite noisy in the wee small hours as it was a Friday night.
