We had an excellent 2 night stay. The staff were, on the whole, outstanding, friendly and very helpful. The bar staff were great, happy to prepare cocktails on request, attentive etc. The reception staff were helpful and arranged taxis etc My only negative was for a 2 night stay the tea, coffee, water & biscuits were not replenished after the first night- a little thing but would be good for 5 stars

The accommodation wasn’t outstanding in any way the restaurant food was on a par with a chain restaurant and lacked finesse. The breakfast left a lot to be desired, whilst it was a buffet style affair the food was left too long under heat lamps and the bacon in particular was inedible and hard. The car park was charged for at a rate of £25 per night , and gratuities were added to the restaurant bill, although I had given a tip already. In all not a plaid re-visit.

Reception staff very welcoming and helpful. ( Shout out to Pradeep! ) Nice lounge/bar area, good vibe. Super convenient for the city centre. Plenty of parking. Room slightly small for the style of furnishing.

Had a lovely stay at the graduate, would definitely recommend and stay again if I was to go back to Cambridge! The bed was very comfy, the pool was a little small especially if there are a few guests. We didn't try the breakfast but went out to try the bakeries and market stalls which were really delicious :)

Good quality rooms, fittings and fixtures. Good housekeeping and reception. The evening dining reminded me of school dinners, certainly below the standard I expected and was charged for. Iate out everyother evening. Perhaps there was a reason we were the only diners that night.

Amazing hotel. Only comments would be noisy fridge and pipe work - so bring ear plug, and air con didn’t work. But don’t let this distract from an otherwise fantastic location and setting. One earmarked for the future
