Top 10 The John Barleycorn Inn Hotels

Nice hotel, very good location. Just a short walking distance from the city center. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The building is well decorated. I liked the bar and the restaurant. It was a comfortable stay. The staff was very good, very helpfull especially Ms Fidan at the reception. She was very polite, kind and considerate. This was my first visit to Cambridge. She gave me precious hints and tips which helped me enjoy the city much more.

The location of the hotel is very good. There is a museum opposite and almost all attractions can be reached on foot within 15 minutes. The hotel service is very good, very welcoming, and there is also valet parking service. The food in the restaurant is also good, but the speed is a bit slow. The hotel is in British style and is very unique. Already recommended to friends.

Business stay with plenty of tables to work at. Excellent, polite, professional service from staff. The room was spacious with black out curtains.

Hotel location is very good than the imagination, the top floor view is good

Spent a lovely week at the Hotel du vin. Our room was clean and cozy, food was delicious and staff was very friendly, ready to fulfill every request we had. The bar was so good that most of the nights we preferred staying at the hotel rather than going out. Definitely coming back soon

On arrival we were greeted by a pleasant reception staff. We were extremely underwhelmed by our room, for the price that we paid - £188.00 for room only. It was certainly not worth it. We were hoping for some nice toiletries but only had a tiny bar of soap and a small pot of body lotion. The room itself wasn't in the best condition, the carpet was very warn and there was countless spiderwebs, we had to remove 5 spiders before we got into bed. We had a slight panic when we arrived and noticed that there was a wedding, we expected it to be really loud until the early hours but we couldn't actually hear them at all - which was a relief. Until 1:30am when the staff decided it was a good time to take the bins out... dragging them across the gravel outside our window. It's an old building so there's also lots of creaks and movement through the night, even our door was rattling with the wind. The spa facilities were lovely, and it was great that we could access these before and after check in/check out - one has to wonder if the cost reflects the use of the spa as opposed to the room itself. If you aren't going to use the facilities, it's not worth the cost. Breakfast was lovely - £30.00 for 2 people, expensive but i think it was worth it. Cooked breakfast was fast and really nice. The continental buffet was well thought out with lots of options to choose from and tasty pastries - not sure the Indie music playlist was quite appropriate to the setting though! I wasn't expecting to sit in a spa hotel listening to Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance whilst i had my brekkie.

The hotel should be considered very good in the UK, but it is incomparable with the domestic Hilton. The room was clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit far from the attractions, and it costs a lot to take a round-trip taxi.
