    We missed having a small fridge in our room. Which we’ve had at other Hilton hotels. It felt really cold in our bathroom. There was no heated towel rail.

    Pleasant hotel. Well situated. Friendly, very helpful staff. Excellent breakfast and evening meal. The hotel and our room were both clean. We had a comfortable bed.

    Our room was a bit tired. The bed was ok but softer at the sides than the middle. Didn’t use the shower but the bath I took was the worst I’ve ever experienced, even in much, much cheaper hotels. Hot water a trickle, gave up after about two inches and sat in it and froze. No shower gel in the container, and placed too high to reach from the bath. Really old, frayed shower curtain, which is rare in modern hotels. Especially one that cost us over £600 for two nights. Also the obligatory valet parking is an absolute pain and very expensive. Hilton you can do better.

    Location is in the city centre, but it’s weird having to take two lifts to get from street level to the rooms, as one (or an escalator) goes from street to reception, then you have to take another one to the rooms. There is no escalator down, hence two lifts. This is because the hotel is part of a huge parking complex and basically has no ground floor. Guess you trade convenience for a city centre location.

    We received our wine when we almost finished our evening meal despite reminding the staff. Bed not made daily. Coffee cups not washed up. Suspicious stain on floor around base of the toilet in the bathroom.

    Car valeting. Great selection at breakfast. Reception very welcoming and helpful.

    It was all good apart from the shower pressure wasn’t fantastic. Sadly the fire alarm accidentally went off at about 10.30pm which woke me up as I was beginning to sleep…somehow my children slept through it - it was loud! The hotel were very apologetic.

    Amazing location in the centre of the city, very helpful and friendly staff, decent facilities on site including restaurant and bar and comfortable room for a family of 4.

    I had one small issue with the shower drain but I reported it using the Hilton app and the staff addressed the problem the same day. I did need an electrical power adapter for UK electricity to charge my phone and laptop. Not a big deal but I’ve noticed that some hotels have this built in.

    The check in process was easy and they let me check in early. The location was good. It was about a 45 minute Uber ride from Stansted airport, which was pretty good. There is also an option to take a train from Stansted airport to Cambridge.

    Corridors to rooms and the room itself needs freshening up. Although the room was clean, the decor was very dated

    I thought he price of £200+ for one night was a bit on the high side, but apart from that, I had a very nice stay.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and professional. The location was excellent for the event I was attending at the Corn Exchange.
