Reviews for University Arms
Beautiful hotel in the heart of Cambridge.
Absolutely wonderful stay at the University arms in Cambridge. This is my fifth time at this hotel and each time I arrive feeling so welcomed and relaxed and leave exactly the same way.

Absolutely exceptional!
We stayed from 27–30 August 2026, and our stay was absolutely exceptional. I honestly could not have asked for more. All the staff, from Reception, Housekeeping and the Restaurant, were superb. Everyone was warm, friendly, professional and genuinely went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. A special mention goes to Anna, the Reception Manager, who went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for us. Her kindness, attentiveness and exceptional customer service truly stood out and made our stay even more memorable. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so wonderful. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service and a welcoming experience.

Overall positive
We had a wonderful experience at the University Arms. The rooms were luxurious. Breakfast delicious. One follow up- the chaise lounge was badly stained (see photos). Would not have expected in a 5 star hotel

Good
Not great but good location, good staff, room was fine, decor was okay, buffet breakfast was okay. Good Cambridge hotels are thin on the ground. Would use this one again.

Traditional comfort and style
This is a superior hotel showing how old fashioned quality can be blended in to modern, practical comfort. The staff are professional, friendly and capable of solving slightly unusual requests making our stay very relaxing and restful.
