All staff welcoming and helpful. OK, rooms need updating but are large and functional. Food fine, bearing in mind they coped with a group of 22. Unless you sleep anywhere, would advise avoiding the rooms overlooking Trumpington Road - noisy and too hot. Despite it being 'degree' weekend, reception managed a room change with a smile!

Yes, the hotel is tired and requires renovation. It is OK because the bedroom was spacious, the bed comfortable, the bathroom functional, the breakfast fine, and there is free wifi. And all the staff were friendly and professional. And there is free car parking. It is tired but OK; it depends on your expectations.

found this hotel very disappointing. The decor seemed tired and in need of freshening. Room was an adequate size and facilities were adequate, however bed was very uncomfortable and walls wafer thin allowing me to hear everything in next door room which was not a pleasant experience. Shower was too hot even at the lowest setting. The food at breakfast... More

We visit Cambridge annually and on most occasions stay at the Royal Cambridge. It is fairly central and is easy to access. The rooms are quite spacious, clean and comfortable. We appreciate the ease of parking. The outstanding feature of the hotel from our point-of-view is the quality of service. Everyone is friendly, polite and keen that we have a... More

I was very pleased by the friendliness of the staff, the cleanlines of the room (I always cleain drawers and desks in hotels (sorry) and there was not a hint of dust anywhere), and the location of the hotel. Despite having a room overlooking the road, I could sleep with an... More

Breakfast was included with the price of the room, however it only started at 0700, which meant that we missed it as had to leave for work, the one day we did manage to sit down for breakfast it took so long to get served we had to get up and leave before...

We booked a room and ended up with an basement apartment. It was very hot, tired and the bed was truly agony. The noise from the room above was so loud I could have believed there were several people with wooden legs as every step was a loud thud. The staff were great and location fantastic

Checked in at 3.l0pm on Bank holiday Monday with two friends. Chambermaid was still making up the beds. Room was light and airey. I slept on sofa bed which I must say was quite comfy. Pillows were lovely and soft. Lift out of order. Breakfast, which was continental, was included in the room rate. There was a good choice and... More

Many of the reviews below are correct, both good and bad. The rooms are small. The staff is friendly. The elevator is permanently out of order. The room is clean. The location is distant from the center when compared to other hotels. The staff is friendly. The debate about this place could go on forever. The simple fact is, the... More
