Royal Cambridge Hotel - Cambridge 52.19771, 0.12191

Stayed here for a night to enable us to explore Cambridge. V good location for it as can easily walk everywhere. Rooms were clean although the decor a little dated. Given Cambridge is an expensive place to stay, it's reasonably priced but nothing outstanding in this hotel at all. Was bit disappointed that the staff at reception didn't know the name of our restaurant when it is very well known in Cambridge and a short walk down the road.

from the hotel you are walking distance to the shopping centre. good for sightseeing .john lewis store very clean .very impressed with the toilets one of the best for a long time

For a 3 star hotel this one wasnt bad, I think you pay for the location which was pretty good, walking distance from town. Was a bit disappointing not to have air con in the room though as the hotel is on a busy road and too noisy to have to window open at night. The room itself was nice though, had a large flatscreen tv with freeview, the room was very clean and the bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the morning was a little disappointing and had quite a long wait as there is not many kitchen staff. Also had to pay a fiver a day for parking which should be included in the hotel price.

Having read most of the reviews I could find about the Royal Cambridge, I was not expecting the greatest of stays......however, it was a really pleasant surprise to find that either the previous reviews were wrong, or that the management has read them and listened to them...... Checking in was the only weakish moment, as the duty receptionist was not terribly friendly, but most of that was because her English was not great. However, we had arrived earlier in the day, dumped the car in the car park and went in to ask if that was all right. "Perfectly! -and just come back and check in any time after 2.00 pm". Anyway, once we'd checked in, it was all very good. Lovely big room - I liked the ducks in the bathroom, and the enormous bottles of toiletries. Breakfast was stunning - a great buffet, and a nice choice for English breakfast, which they got right as well. Yes, the hotel is slightly faded, but not anything like as bad as other people have suggested. Checking out was easy and painless, and they got that all right as well. We were expecting to pay for the car park, but no, that was free - and we asked if we could leave the car there as we were going to spend the day in Cambridge - "Absolutely fine, just come and collect a token when you;re ready to go!" Wow! Really, it was a very good deal (Thank you, Hotels.com!)

An excellent choice for Camgridge as the hotel is very close to the ,main attractions and has very good parking facilities

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in August, and were very impressed. The location of the hotel was fantastic as it was very central and only a few hundred meters from nice restaurants and bars, yet still quiet. The large free car park was excellent. Our room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was fine. My only complaint would be that our shower did not produce properly hot water. Overall we were very impressed with this hotel and would definitely recommend it.

The hotel could be very nice but is in bad need of redecoration, everything is very tired and not very clean. The central location and the complimentary car park are a significant advantage

A very impressive hotel - the room was enormous, quite beautiful and one of the best we have stayed in. Everything was excellent apart from a failure to make clear that the breakfast was included in the bill - the cost was on the breakfast menu and did not make it clear that it was free for guests.

Glimrende hotel, dog synes jeg prisen var lidt i overkanten da vi fik et kælderværelse hvor der var rimelig indelukket og vinduerne var svære at åbne. Men meget rent og komfortabelt hotel. Jeg ville ikke tøve med at bruge det igen, dog vil jeg næste gang ikke acceptere et kældeværelse.

Chambre très confortable à décoration très anglaise
