We had the most lovely stay at the University Arms in Cambridge. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the hotel smelled amazing. The rooms were quite spacious and the beds were very comfortable! The bartenders in the lounge area were exceptionally kind and made delicious cocktails! I especially want to highlight the restaurant manager, Francesco. He was extremely gracious, welcoming, and professional and made our stay at the University Arms that much more wonderful. We will definitely stay here again!

The boutique hotel host up to rooms with Chinese and European style interiors and have a beautiful public spaces which house bars and communal outdoor areas. The art style interior of the rooms is characterized by combining the past and the future. Everything comes from Cambridge history. The homey and comfortable Mattresses is why I chosen here, we spend around a third of our lives in bed, should give ourselves the best experience, and highest quality rest we can. Excellent value. Breakfast and garden dinner were always a good choice. We will definitely come back in the future!!!

I came here with friends for a couples evening towards the end of a night out in Cambridge and we used the ground floor bar at the hotel. The ground floor bar is cozy with open and closed seating arrangements. you even sit an alcove with your other half to enjoy a drink. Later on, we got to enjoy a drink in a library of the hotel, which has a warm environment. The bar is an extensive cocktail and spirit menu and a good list of fine wines. There is even a wine cellar next to the bar We were served by the bar staff, Andy and Luca, who both did nice job at serving us drinks and looking after everyone. Both friendly and very approachable. Though I have not tried staying at this hotel or tried restaurant yet. But I get the impression from the decor of the hotel that you are likely to have a very comfortable stay.

The location is excellent which is at the city centre. The Grand shopping arcade is next to the hotel. Very convenient to the travelers. The hotel is at the city centre which walk 10 minutes can reach most of the important sites. However, the hotel forget to arrange housekeeping for my two rooms for one night. When I come back to hotel after whole day visit, I was surprise by the untidy room. I tried to call house keeping but the line is busy. I go down to the concierge but they could not help. They just said to make sure housekeeping will be arranged tomorrow. I was so disappointed. Moreover, I have requested laundry services on two consecutive night. The concierge said that both laundry can return to me after two day in one go. After two days, I asked the hotel to give back my laundry. They can only give back one pack of laundry. After my repeated complaint, they finally find out my second pack of laundry bag. Their service is quite disappointing.

Standard old English hotel, the room is quite big, all facilities are good, the location is very close to the city center, eating around is very convenient, the hotel restaurant is very lively at night, drinking and singing and dancing. Breakfast was very good.

Breakfast includes bread 🍞, eggs (put them in the pot), juice, milk, dried fruits, tomato slices, dandelion, cheese, hot tea, fruit cups, sliced ham, coffee

The room is clean and tidy when we checked in, they use white company shower products and also provide bedroom slippers which is great for hygiene. We did experience some poor customer service experience as we arrived around midnight and there’s no service staffs at the front desks and we had to knock on the glass door to seek attention. Then the reception staffs got confused with the room booking and assigned two same rooms to us. Then they asked us to insert card and pay again for the prepay hotel. I had to clarify and then also informed them about the breakfasts for next two days had been paid. On the next day they asked again and on our last day they still didn’t have our records about the breakfasts again and all the staffs did was to blame that it’s systems glitch. Even on our last day they still said there’s no records of breakfasts paid. Overall the room quality is pretty good, the cleaning of the room could be better as we still see hair on the bed after it was cleaned on the 2nd night. There’s also some issue with the bathroom door for one of our rooms, and the staffs fixed that timely. It’s mainly the front service staffs that were not very professional and seems like they haven’t been updating the systems records well or getting the systems fixed so that all these could be prevented.

The guest restaurant is large and the living is very comfortable. Laundry and cooking are also very convenient. The dedicated parking space downstairs is very suitable for self-driving friends. Before arriving, you must inform the homeowner of the expected arrival time in advance, because this house is not self-check-in, and the homeowner needs to deliver the key.

Right next to the train station, since we have a lot of luggage, zero-distance check-in is still a good choice. Although there are railway tracks outside the window, the sound insulation is very good and has no effect at all. There is a bus at the entrance of the hotel that can go directly to the center of Cambridge, making travel more convenient. There is a restaurant downstairs in the hotel, there is a costa in the station, and there are no other commercial facilities around. The room is more comfortable and the price is good.
