I stayed here just one (hot) no a/c) night in July with my daughter. Hotel is in a great location to walk into the town and river. We had a room at the back so not on main road. Room size and bathroom OK...Breakfast good.....service at breakfast a little surly, but good at reception. The hotel overall is adequate...clean but... more

On arrival, we were fairly pleased with this hotel. Check-in was quick and efficient, the hotel has a free car park, and the room was spacious and well-furnished. Our experience thereafter had both good and bad points. While the room was very comfortable, and contained all that one might need, I cannot help but report a threadbare carpet and mildew... more

With several colleagues went to cambridge for a conference and the whole group stayed in this hotel (for just 1 night). My experience was OK. The common places of the hotel are in typical English (old fashioned) style. It would probably benefit of some refreshing works, nevertheless it is still acceptable. The room is quite basic but was not small... more

Possibly because of my lowered expectations for all lodgings in Cambridge, I was favorably surprised by the very sunny, high ceilinged executive double we booked for one night mid week (sans breakfast) a room that looked back over the parking lot and the somewhat busy traffic on the Fens but was still surprisingly quiet. Furnishings were very antiquated and worn... more

Stayed here when I went back for a reunion dinner. One of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in!!! As we arrived we saw the only good thing about the hotel- the free car park. On check in we were forced to pay for the room in advanced. We later realised this was to stop you running off! The... more

Stayed here recently just for 1 night. Hotel very central and ideal as a base for visiting the city and its famous sights. Also has a car park which is a bonus. All staff were exceptionally courteous and polite and could not do enough for you. Room was small but adequate and although on the main road, there was no... more

After reading other reviews on this website we were a little apprehensive about going to this hotel. However we needn't have worried as we were more than satisfied with every aspect of the hotel. We booked in for Valentines Day and thoroughly enjoyed the four course dinner and complimentary chocolates. The tables were beautifully decorated and the staff were very... more

I stayed here for 3 nights on business. The room, on the 2nd floor, was of a good size but I am told those on the 3rd floor aren't and they have tiny windows. Mine overlooked the rear of the hotel and was quiet - those overlooking Trumpington Street are noisy. The room was extremely clean but the furnishings are... more

I have just spent two nights at the Royal Cambridge. It’s funny (as in funny peculiar) how it’s possible to agree with bits of both the most negative and the most positive reviews already here! Certainly, the hotel will benefit from redecoration: carpets in the corridors look a bit shabby and old fashioned. But the location is fantastic: 5 minutes... more
