Top The Backs Hotel Reviews

The Regent Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great. Room was simple and functional. Lots of cold breakfast choices."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

8/10 Good

"The hotel I felt had a “corporate” feel to it. It was comfortable, but lacked charm. This was perhaps exacerbated by building repairs taking place impacting the reception and breakfast areas. The location is excellent and the rooms comfortable and clean. Staff were generally great - polite and professional. Exception to this were the bar staff, who did not seem particularly interested in serving. Valet parking service was excellent albeit at £35. Having visited Cambridge on many occasions, parking is fiendishly expensive and against this context, I felt it to be a good deal."

Christs College Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Great location. They offer storage as well."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely stay! The hotel did exactly what we needed. The late food was really helpful, the beds were comfy, and the food was tasty. I also accidentally left my cuddly toy behind, and the staff found it for me and kindly kept it safe until I was able to come back and collect it. That was really appreciated! Overall, a very useful and comfortable stay, with helpful and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!"

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very convenient, clean and efficient hotel. The only downside was a very disappointing shower"
