Reviews for University Arms
40th wedding anniversary treat
Celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary back at the hotel we spent our first night. What an amazing time! Thanks to all the staff who went out of their way to make us feel so special.

Great hotel
Very good hotel. Stayed in this Hotel for one night in August 2025. Very clean, nice room, amazing Bed. Great reception & restaurant staff. A little up market so a little pricey. Parking is very overpriced on site cost me £40 for 1 night. This could put me off staying at this hotel again however the location is very near the city centre which is why they are cashing in on the parking cost. Loved the hotel. Steve & Julie London

Comfortable Stay in Cambridge
Stayed at the CUA for a couple of nights while visiting Cambridge to do some shopping. The hotel has gone through a major refurb since we last came to Cambridge, before covid, and it looks lovely. Reception was friendly and they acknowledged my Bonvoy status, upgrading us from the room we had booked. The room was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom. The linen and furnishings could not be faulted and the room was clean and well maintained, the AC worked perfectly without noise. The Bathroom had soft towels and nice toiletries, that were in individual tubes, rather than the "common" pump action dispensers that are now generally found in hotels. If I was to be a little picky, I would say that the room had been aligned for one guest as in bath robe and there were no slippers. As I said it was picky and did not intrude on our stay enjoyment. The hotel is in easy walking from the station, or you can catch a bus as there are a number that stop near the hotel. It is an easy walk into the town also. Will consider again for future visits.

Came for business. Stayed for the pleasantries!
This hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spacious and nice. But the real treat was the amazing staff! They were incredibly enthusiastic and helpful throughout my long stay. This same positive energy was also appreciated with all the staff working the breakfast area as well.

Overpriced and not that great
Expensive for what you get!! The hotel is beautiful but reception staff are not friendly at all - seem disinterested in any issues. However, the concierges are fabulous!!! Room smelt of stale smoke, breakfast had a prep choice and the cooked breakfast was average. For what I paid it was a rip off!!!
