Hotel Royal Cambridge Hotel

Trumpington St, Cambridge, CB2 1PY, United Kingdom –

My single room was small but perfectly comfortable. The room was on a quiet corridor which was a relief as there was a noisy party in full swing when we arrived back after going out for dinner. Staff were friendly.

Hilary, United Kingdom

Manager, Stuart Rushton, remembered me from previous stays. I had travelled from Upstate New York through JFK, picked up at Heathrow and driven directly to hotel. I was tired. He brought my bags to my room. I was bathed and asleep by 10:30 am. Awake at 8:30 pm to good dinner of feta panna cotta and chicken curry. Very rested for annual Pembroke College event. So good was my stay, I extended it another night. Cheers.

The elegant bedrooms each have a satellite TV, work desk and Wi-Fi access. Some rooms have a seating area, while all have a private bathroom and tea/coffee facilities.

High Table Restaurant serves a modern British menu, featuring fresh local produce served 24 hours a day. Guests can enjoy fresh coffees and light snacks in the spacious bar, and continental breakfasts are available daily.

The Royal Cambridge Hotel is just 650 feet from the Fitzwilliam Museum. The Grand Arcade Shopping Center is a 10-minute walk, and the lively market square is just half a mile away. Stansted Airport is 45 minutes' drive away or a 50-minute coach ride.

This is our guests' favorite part of Cambridge, according to independent reviews.

“Adequate”
- • Business trip

- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
It's kind of tired. Toilet didn't flush effectively. Shower was poor. Decoration was 1950s/60s
It had everything I needed for an overnight stay. Much like a Premier Inn.

Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. On our last day we were in a rush and accidentally left the room key in the room, at checkout we were told they would charge us £50 lost key fee if we didn't hand it in at checkout.

“Lovely hotel ruined by Christmas party disco and drunken revellers”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
At 9pm we had to leave the lounge as music from the Christmas party disco made conversation impossible. It was impossible to remain in my room on the first floor as the bass beat there from the disco was also horrific. The staff were excellent in moving me quickly to the 2nd floor on a quiet corridor. Unfortunately it did not remain quiet as a loud argument broke out with screaming and shouting in the room opposite at 2.30am. Again the staff were excellent coming straight away and moving people away but I had to call reception again at 3.30am as the argument broke out again, several people involved, doors opening and shutting constantly and arguments ensuing. Once more the staff came very quickly and sorted the problem but it was nerve wracking and I didn't sleep the rest of the night. I will never stay there again without asking if there is a function and I will stay elsewhere if there is.
Staff were excellent and helpful when I had to move rooms because of very loud music from Christmas party. Also when I had to call them up to quell drunken revellers twice during the night.
