The room was over heated. The TV casting was unusable which we were not warned about and were very disappointed as we weren’t able to watch films in bed as we’d hoped. I requested a bath ahead of time and dint get one. We went for a drink in the bar which was chaotic, overrun, it was impossible to be served, other guests were complaining and the staff were squabbling. We didn’t get a menu for 30 minutes and had to go up to the bar to order. Drinks of course took forever. Disappointing experience, the room didn’t feel up to the price standards either, and had wall markings. I left feeling underwhelmed, the experience was subpar.

The grout in the bathroom was cracked, crumbled and missing in the shower flooring where you stand. Als, there was hard water buildup on the waterfall shower head.

We had a pleasant stay with a couple of frustrations. Our room wasn’t ready for 4pm so had drinks in the bar but very expensive, wouldn’t have hurt the break to stand the first round as an apology for not being ready. When we got to the room it was lovely and spacious but it was very cold the AC was set to 19c we whacked it up high but it took over 5 hours to warm up enough to be comfortable very frustrating! We had a long day shopping and so opted for room service, they had run out of the Gin we ordered and it took 3 trips to deliver our order. We settled in to watch some TV and relax in the chilly room but it was a very old TV with no modern entertainment like Netflix etc when we had intended to watch a ln Xmas movie. We slept well and breakfast was lovely. Pretty big queue to checkout but w head to do in person because of room charges etc. We enjoyed the stay and the hotel is beautiful and location brilliant but expected a little more for our money.

Bar and restaurants fantastic. Lovely ambience with the hotel especially for Christmas

The thermostat in the room was not quite functional. It became hot and then cold. The maid service one day missed replenishing a number of things, but they brought the supplies when we called and gave us some chocolates. We forgot about things in the safe, and they called us and arranged to send back the items. This part was very good.

Loved the Art Deco illustrations throughout the public areas. One of the best designed art hangings I’ve seen outside a museum! Loved my view over Parker’s Piece of students cycling to lectures and playing sport. Staff were generally very kind and helpful.

As usual, excellent stay. Attentive staff, clean room, amenities etc. Kudos to concierge for getting me an EV charging spot in the car park Ant the superb restaurant manager who very calmly solved the problem with the restaurant booking for our group on the saturday eveing

It is beautifully decorated, but need to keep up with the maintenance to keep it at the right level. eg carpets are pale and starting to look stained.

We loved the hotel and the room, one thing I felt wasn't customer focused was a pre£35 charge for having a pet ( fine after if she fouled but usually it's complimentary or £10), and£40 overnight parking. Excessive. Everything else was superb.

Great hotel, very conveniently located however, we were a little disappointed with the restaurant. We’ve stayed there before and had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant but this time it was a little disappointing unfortunately

I’ve stayed here many times. I went for Room 202 which was nice and quiet. I would stay again.

3.0 / 10.0

Food at the Tavern is truly amazing. Rooms aren't great - curtains don't close properly so you get woken up early. Also, no sound insulation so we can hear every step from the person staying the floor above. Breakfast options are very limited. Drinks/mocktails at the bar are not great - too sweat.

5.0 / 10.0

Highly recommended. university arms isn’t just a beautiful hotel — it’s a place that understands what true hospitality means. Every space reflects elegance. Every detail feels intentional. And the team? Exceptionally professional, responsive, and kind. When a hotel combines style with substance — and the humility to listen and improve — it earns more than a good review. It earns trust. And admiration. Thank you for the experience. 💙

Lovely hotel with excellent staff. Appreciated the complementary walking tour with guide Tony.

8.0 / 10.0

Nice location next to the park. Cambridge is small so the main hotels are all close. Room was big but finishes a bit worn. Shower was nice size. Breakfast was nice

10.0 / 10.0

Modern central location with the river about a 15m walk away. Comfy beds, and quiet in a high room. Breakfast at £25pp is expensive for hot buffet, and doesn't include cooked items on menu which are a further £13 or so. Limited parking on site at £40/day, or within 7 min walk across the green at around £25/day (EV chargers here).

10.0 / 10.0

This is a first class hotel, beautifully designed and with superbly comfortable beds. The staff are uniformly helpful. We have stayed several times and look forward to coming back - it's a wonderful treat.

The University Arms is truly a fabulous experience. For us the staff were attentive and friendly. Alway available to help. The breakfast experience was the one of the best. The staff have a great team spirit to watch.

Very tastefully decorated room with crafted warm wood & muted colors. Comfortable armchair. Very clean bathroom with decent water pressure. The bar was a highlight as well, lovely traditional vibe with very comfortable seating & great views. Accomplished next-level drinks & outstanding cream tea with enough clotted cream (somehow places never serve enough) & truly excellent scones. They’re a national staple but good ones are so hard to find.

It used to be a very nice hotel with an outstanding breakfast buffet and service. The second time I went it was not the same and the 3rd time now, I’d rather go somewhere else !

3.0 / 10.0

Although the hotel was welcoming we were disappointed about some minor things. In our room 431 the bathroom door had water damage to the bottom causing it to swell and paint to peel. The toilet flush was not working well. The left hand bedside light was not working. Only two teabags and one portion of milk for tea in the room. All of which was a shame for the money we paid.

A very comfortable stay. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Great location for seeing everything.

3.0 / 10.0

Breakfast is very bad value. Streaky bacon is only the first of many issues. WiFi slow and blocks some VPNs. Low water pressure. One lift broken, the other enraging. Staff are great and if you can get over the unnaturally long pillows the beds pretty comfortable too. Apparently charged me a tenner to upgrade my room without checking with me first. Typically vexing hotel TV.

4.0 / 10.0

Good hotel, very helpful staff, reasonable location 10-13 minute walk from the center of town and the Backs. Didn’t try the restaurants or bar.

2.0 / 10.0

Was the manager "working from home", we wondered? To list but a few points: The shower was jammed on cold; the basin plug didn't work; there was just enough milk for a cuppa at teatime or a coffee in the morning but not both (a cunning ploy to drum up charges for room service, perhaps?); the room was cold and smelled of damp; the main lamp didn't work; nearby plumbing was noisy all night; the carpets were badly-fitted and frayed; only coco-pops and bran flakes were available at breakfast - everything else having run out by 09:30; the cooked breakfast was either dried-out (mushrooms), finished (eggs), soggy (hash browns) or cold (baked beans); tables were filthy and uncleared; cutlery, when it eventually came, had to be sent back as it too was filthy and my fork still gooey with somebody eles's food; we had to queue both to check in and check out; the pillows were like bricks; no turn-down service was provided; etc. etc. An irritatingly over-priced and utterly underwhelming visit. A 10 minute walk to the nearest parking didn't help either.

Stayed here for a friend’s birthday celebration, rooms great, service in the cocktail bar was very slow. And not being able to be served at the bar, only table service was a pain.

10.0 / 10.0

A great place to celebrate my 60th birthday. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We simply had a perfect time and will be back soon

4.0 / 10.0

Initially allocated a rather drab room with badly stained/damaged carpet - unacceptable as the hotel was not fully booked. On contacting reception about this, we were kindly moved to a much nicer room with a park view. Enjoyed the underfloor heating in the bathroom, quality bedding and windows that you can open to let in fresh air. Missed having a bathtub as most rooms only have a shower. Cleaning could be improved as the chaise was stained - rather off-putting. Overall a nice stay in beautiful Cambridge

The hotel is good, but the rooms could use some renovation. Staff were fabulous.
