"The Waterman is a loverly pub doing good beer and good food and the staff are great. Have stayed there on numerous occasions and the rooms are cosy but lovely and perfect for me on my own. Great location too, easy to cross the river and be in town in under 10mins. I will def stay there again. Staff even helped me getting a taxi to the station this morn when i thought i would miss my train bit i just made it!! So thank for that guys and thanks for a lovely stay in Cambridge!"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very impressed. Hotel room with extras! Great facilities and every thing you need. Water bottle and refill tap great idea (from someone who only drinks bottled water) Full sized fridge and cooking facilities. If I had to add any feedback it would be maybe add a unit/draws for extra clothing as we couldn’t fit all clothes on to the hangers provided. Everything was impeccably clean. All brand new. Loved the pantry options. Really enjoyed the breakfast. Small but perfect menu for us. 10/10. Staff were very welcoming and all friendly and attentive. Would 100% recommend and stay again "
