Top The Polar Museum Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Check in and check out was very efficient. The room was spacious and clean. Staff were very helpful with regards to parking options. There was loads of good breakfast options."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best places to stay in Cambridge , right next to the Central station. Very convenient to go to London and other destinations. Being used to North America, i have come to expect hotels to have air conditioning and after going around the UK in hotels with no AC. The ibis in Cambridge with its super modern rooms, AC and large baths are a huge relief. This is such a gem of a place in Cambridge close to the University and all the Major shops."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Look for a building that says POLICE as the only hotel sign was on the door. Staff was very nice. Dining area is beautiful and breakfast was good. Room was clean and air conditioning was good."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet location with a 20 minute walk into town centre. Helpful friendly staff, great stay"

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Work in Cambridge for one night, friend have the Wedding there a couple years back. So we decided to stay at the hotel. Location wise is a 10 out of 10, very close to Kings College, only about five minutes walk. Walking to the shopping centre is also around five minutes where you can find all the shops. Our room was facing the Riverside, which was pretty quiet during the night. Parking was pretty easy only that £26 was a little bit steep. Overall, I think the hotel was up to its reputation and most likely we will be visiting again."

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here before my wedding and Patrick was so welcoming - we had a lovely time however they don’t have a laundry service or a steaming service or normal hangers to hang things which was a bit hard. Everything else was great"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The Wilde is super convenient to Cambridge attractions within walking distance. Every staff interaction was helpful and pleasant. Though rooms are fairly small, due to thoughtful design, they do not feel cramped. We would stay in a Wilde Aparthotels property again."

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant hotel, will be staying again!"

Christs College Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff went the extra mile!"
