Hotels near Girton College Library & Archive, Cambridge

Travelodge wouldn’t have been a bad memory except for TRIP that made it a horrible one for me , I definitely sure this would be my last dealing with them. Here is my ordeal with Travelodge and TRIP.com, on arriving the hotel I discovered the hotel has no air conditioning and it was terribly hot in London, I immediately notified the hotel of my intention to check out which they agreed to and are willing to give me a refund , unfortunately the TRIP customer service kept going round and round with the situation inorder for them to make me finish my stay at the hotel even with the fact that I complained it wasn’t comfortable, to be honest the hotel did their best to ensure I get my refund but trip messed everything up, there was practically nothing they didn’t do to make sure I didn’t check out even when someone from the hotel spoke with them about their willingness to give me a refund this is the hotel Ass. Manager ( Mrs Gosia) . I had a very terrible experience with trip and it is definitely going to be my last . I couldn’t sleep most of the night because of the terrible heat at night thanks to trip. 😞

We had a fantastic 1 night stay at the Regent to celebrate our anniversary. The team went to great lengths to make sure our stay was memorable, with mini prosecco, chocolates and rose petals in the room on our arrival. The hotel is in a great location and is within walking distance of everything. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We stayed in a room that faced the street and it was suprisingly quiet. If we decide to visit Cambridge again we would book this hotel in a heartbeat.

It is the most comfortable hotel I stayed in during this trip to the UK. The room was larger than equivalent hotels in London and the bedding was very good. The most important thing is that the breakfast experience is great. The waiters and ladies are full of Cambridge temperament. When ordering food, the food is excellent.

Nearby big stores however quite far away to the city center, behind the street which not friendly for ppl sleep light

This is a modern and clean hostel ,the staff are friendly ,kind and considerate, and listened patiently to my several and widely varied questions . I found out more from the reception here than the tourist information in Cambridge town centre (which is absolutely useless).The rooms are clean as are the showers and toilets .The food is good but a full breakfast is £9.95 and often you are only permitted 1 slice of bacon ,1 hash brown and 1 sausage which is financially poor value . Wetherspoons in Cambridge has a large breakfast for £7.95 but is a bit of a walk from the hostel. The location is good about 10-15 minutes from the railway station where there are other eating outlets . the self catering kitchen is good and there are kettles there to make your own hot drinks or bring takeaway food in if you wash and clean up afterwards .There is a lounge with books and board games and a tv with all the normal terrestrial channels. Parking in Cambridge is very controlled ,limited and expensive .I parked at the park and ride on Madingley road day return tickets are £3.50 and single tickets are £2.00. The park and ride bus service P+R 1 will only take you to st Andrews street (outside John Lewis) and there you must get another bus or face a 20/25 minute walk. The charge to park is about £10 per 24 hours booked over the phone. Parking near the hostel is on the road and is limited (Devonshire road) it is paid hourly by machine max 2 Hours or free after 5.00pm until 9.00am and free all day Sundays . Devonshire road is accessed by using the ring road and going down mill road (beware of the one way system.)

No bed for third person made up, called receptionist I was told someone will come and do it, this was at 19:00 no one ever came, even after following up over the phone. I spent night sleeping without bedding, on plain sofa bed without a single pillow. Terrible experience and poor service. Not enough towels, just for one person & again after calling reception- I was told that they ran out of towels!!! This was enough for my family to bare after whole day of travel, especially the room booked was Executive one. So expected to be up to highest standard and service to be over the top, this isn’t the case. Cleanliness is very poor - see pictures. Dust everywhere and this wasn’t one day worth. After asking for partial refund due to poor service, I was given a silly look and smile, advised to sent email online. Do not bother going there.

Title: A Stellar Experience at This Exceptional Hotel I recently had the pleasure of staying at this outstanding hotel, and I am more than pleased to share my delightful experience. The environment of the hotel is nothing short of impressive. Nestled in an exquisitely landscaped setting, the hotel boasts an ambiance that perfectly blends sophistication with tranquility. The interiors are tastefully designed, radiating warmth and comfort. The cleanliness throughout the premises is commendable - from the plush guest rooms to the common areas, every nook and cranny exudes a sense of freshness and hygiene. The peaceful surroundings coupled with top-notch facilities made my stay truly rejuvenating. As for its location, it couldn’t be more ideal. Strategically situated in the heart of the city, the hotel offers easy access to major tourist attractions, business hubs, as well as shopping and dining destinations. Its prime location turned out to be a significant advantage during my trip, saving me considerable time on commuting and allowing me to explore the city effortlessly. The check-in process was seamless and straightforward. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the courteous and professional front desk staff who swiftly processed my paperwork. Their use of advanced technology expedited the check-in procedure, making it a hassle-free experience. They were attentive to my needs and provided clear instructions, which made my first encounter with the hotel quite memorable. In summary, this hotel excels not only in providing a serene and luxurious environment but also in offering a convenient and central location. The efficient and user-friendly check-in process further enhanced my overall experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It’s truly a gem that combines the best of service, location, and ambience. I look forward to returning to this fine establishment on my next visit.

The location is convenient. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel to get out of the city center. The front desk staff has very good service and explains carefully. The room is clean and comfortable with enough space Cambridge is an economical and comfortable choice

The hotel was a little bit further than I expected from the town centre. There is a bus route that can go to the town but it's up to a 10 min walk. It would be great if the hotel provided at least a shuttle service because taxis were also quite expensive just for a few miles. The hotel itself was presentable, the staff was helpful and nice, and the rooms were also spacious enough and clean with all the usual amenities. My room had the disabled bathroom so it was a little bigger I think but the drainage needs sorting out because the whole floor almost flooded with water. The heating A/C was working well and quiet. Breakfast the next morning was included in the price and the choice was basic but enough. I did feel that the plate was smaller than many other places I've stayed at but I guess that was to avoid food waste. They had scambled egg only, sausages, bacon, beans, toast, tea/coffee/juice, 3 cereals and spreads for toast-not bad but could be a little better in variety.
