FAQs about hotels in Cambridge

The Inspiration for Genius

Open-plan and open-minded, Cambridge is best known for universities dating to the 13th century. King’s College is the most popular, and its chapel choir is internationally famous. Although accessed from cobbled King’s Parade, it is best viewed from a punt on The Backs, the part of the River Cam behind.

Taking a flat bottomed punt in Cambridge is an institution and gives great views of Queen’s College Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs at St John’s College. Upstream is Jesus Green, site of an outdoor pool and a fantastic beer festival. Next to this is Midsummer Common, a park home to the annual Strawberry Fair (and the occasional cow). Opposite are the college boathouses - get up early to see the rowers in action!

Cows also roam the Mill Pond meadow, where the river leads south to Grantchester, a quaint village with a lovely cafe. Places to eat in Cambridge include riverside restaurants and typical English pubs like The Eagle, drinking hole of DNA founders Watson & Crick.

Cambridge shopping options include a daily market (in Market Square), the Grafton Centre and the exclusive Grand Arcade, the latest addition. The Scott Polar Museum and free Fitzwilliam Museum are 2 of many fantastic Cambridge museums.

Stansted Airport is connected by train to the city’s accommodations choices on Booking.com.

    When we visit a city we are not interested in high street shops ( don’t be put off if you are as there are plenty including a big John Lewis). So we headed straight for the area around the colleges and Trinity Street and Market Square. These are lovely small individual shops and lots of cafes. It was end of November and there was a great festive atmosphere. We ate at The Copper Kettle which was very good. We were staying just outside the city and on recommendation took the Park & Ride which was excellent. Once in the city everywhere is easily walkable.

    City centre is a wonderful warren of narrow streets stepping back through history, surrounded by the colleges and chapels. Take your time to wander, take a river trip on a punt, or just admire the view. Certainly we will be back for more.

    Beautiful, busy city - loved the atmosphere, vibrant, lively, day & evening. Eateries, lots to choose from & our choice of restaurant was very good. Pity the colleges were closed to visitors (October half term) so will have to visit again soon. Hop on hop off bus, punting down the canal, walking tours - so much to choose from. Lots of roads works which didnt bother us as we were able to walk from our apartment along the canal into the city. Beautiful open spaces along the canal to sit & have pinics

    We ate in restaurants near the train station as well as on the main road to City Center. Cambridge is a very walkable City. The Botanical gardens should be included in your visit and do go inside some of the colleges. many are closed to visitors, but several you can walk their gardens and interior buildings.

    The grounds and the buildings were absolutely beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable, with comfy beds and a good hot shower. (The rooms are fancy student accommodation rooms but with hotel style facilities added in). The staff were faultless and cooked breakfast was really good. The location is a 15 minute drive into Cambridge so I’d say it is quite essential to have a car to reach the main city centre as the nearest bus stop is fair walk away. Parking facilities were great.

    The staff was great and very accommodating. I preferred a room on the upper level, and they were able to move us to a beautiful room. The restaurant was amazing, authentic Italian food and wine! We dined there most nights. We were even treated to some Limocello liquor after dinner! Breakfast was pretty darn good, too. They even have a cappuccino machine! We were able to park our car in their lot (4 nights) and walk to town. There are lots of things to see and do in Cambridge!

    Beautifully decorated, clean and new hotel. Comfortable room with a really nice bathroom and more amenities than expected. Breakfast was amazing. We ate in the hotel restaurant both nights as the food was great and our son particularly loved the kids' buffet. Fabulous pool. Good location, lovely walk along the river into the city centre. Super family friendly. We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again if visiting Cambridge in future.

    Locations was 2 miles out of Cambridge but right next to Park and Ride so we used that both days to go into Cambridge. Really comfortable bed and great shower. Nice kitchen equipment and fridge so we made our own breakfast. We got a special offer so the room had twenty pounds off - it was a really nice place to stay rather than just a one bedroomed cheap hotel.
