I travel quite a lot with work and stop in a lot of hotels but this stay at the University Arms was a weekend away with my wife. First off I have to say the staff were great, the first room we were given had obviously had a water leak at some point as the carpet was damp and the... More

We had a lovely stay for our wedding anniversary. Loved the character of the old hotel - the bar and breakfast room. Views over Parker's piece very nice. Room OK - as others have said- a little tired. Staff very pleasant. Breakfast excellent. Location excellent. However, I feel staff would be helped if the De Vere chain modified some of... More

Time has taken its toll here but the hotel still claims to be at the top of its field. In need of an update. Very comfortable beds. General maintenance could be better. Breakfasts were very good but the variety offered on Monday was noticeably less than atthe weekend. Afternoon tea was not nearly as attractive as the photos widely displayed,... More

Lost in cambridge, we had trouble with the hotel before we even got there, as reception weren't answering the phone when we tried a few times to call for directions. On entering the hotel with our suitcases, a couple heading out for the night jokingly said 'turn back while you still can'. When we got to our room, we realised... More

it is suffice to say that whoever was taking the photos is very very talented! It doesn't look anything like them! The building is a charming bit of modernist concrete architecture... not the lovely period building the photos of it make it out to be! The reception staff are very pleasant and polite, and that was our only interaction with... More

A single room is a what I would consider a 3/4 room. I could almost touch both sides of the room. A bit bijou... It was clean and more importantly warm given the cold snap we were experiencing. The room appeared to be furnished with deliberately distressed hard furnishings. Is this the schoolboy element of university? Parking is extremely limi

Having previously stayed here in an acceptable regular room which cost £89, I decided to try one of their 'executive' rooms thinking that they'd be of a substantially better quality at £149, room only. We were first offered a room near the front which looked and felt identical to the regular room I'd previously stayed in. I pointed this out... More

I stayed one night on business - room and breakfast cost £107.10 Like many other comments I agree the rooms are a little dated and the small touches in the room could be approved apon but my overall experience is a good one for this hotel, not sure if its worth over £100 but that might be down to the...
