10/10 Excellent
"It was a spacious room with two single beds and an arm chair that became a single sofa bed. The room itself was lovely and modern with all essentials provided and the location was excellent for sight seeing and being a walking distance away from a variety of restaurants. There was also a gym that was decently equipped with some weight machines and cardio machines. The thing that stood out the most though was the staff. I accidentally left behind my e-book reader after it fell down the side of the sofa bed. Despite not being able to originally find it, once I provided them with a more specific location they happily checked again a second time and called me once they found it which was very much appreciated. They even took the time to package it up for a courier I arranged to collect it which was really nice of them. Overall I would really recommend staying here and will be staying here again if I ever find myself back in Cambridge. If I am ever"

"We arrived midday and they tagged our luggage and kept it in a secure area. The room itself was clean and while it wasn't roomy it did have enough room to move around (We did keep knocking against the tv that was mounted on the wall). The bed was either queen or full size but it was actually two different mattresses put together which we actually liked because it gave each sleeper their own space. The bathroom is circular and small but manageable. We stayed for one night."

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"

"The Hotel overall is nice. It's 10-12 minutes from thr city centre and King's College. Unfortunately, the Hotel is under construction and the dining area was closed off. Breakfast is decent, but limited compared to something like the St. Ermins in Westchester District, London."
