Reviews for University Arms
The finest hotel in England!
This is my sixth or seventh time at the hotel and I can honestly say that it one of the best properties I have ever stayed at in the world. The rooms are first-class, and staff is the best! The General Manager, Philip Greer, is the best in the business and makes sure that our group is well looked after. If you are staying in Cambridge, the University Arms Hotel is where you want to stay. You will have nothing but a big smile when you enter the hotel and will leave with an even bigger one, once you leave. The best hotel in England, without any question. Can hardly wait to come back!!

Top notch hotel in a convenient location
I was in Cambridge for a work trip. The hotel was beautiful and comfortable, with excellent and friendly staff, including Habale at the front desk. Will be back.

Lovely hotel in a great location.
Had a lovely stay in the University Arms hotel last weekend. Well appointed, clean room with a great view. Heard nothing from outside. Amazing shower! The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Location is terrific too. I would suggest having bottled water in the rooms as opposed to cans. I’m looking forward to staying here again in the near future.

An average experience at a premium price
A lovely building and reception area but the rest of the hotel and the experience is just average at best. The staff when we checked in were at best doing their job, the lady when we checked out was great. The lady who served us in the bar early on Friday evening was great, the service later on was again average In summary, a chain hotel in a nice building really missing the mark

A great place to stay in Cambridge
August 2025 was my 2nd time at this hotel. I really enjoy coming here. The location is in city center and just minutes from the shopping and market areas but in the midst of some of the colleges. The facade of the hotel is stunning. The rooms are a good size and comfortable and clean. Receptionists and concierge are considerate. I would certainly come back. This hotel is good for a solo traveler or families. The breakfast server, Bianca, is excellent. She recalls your dietary or preferences from day to day for breakfast. Pleasant and efficient. It was a very good stay!
