Top Braintree District Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location within walking distance of Kings College and other historical sites. The hotel has great amenities, including a swimming pool and an outside area that provides a sanctuary after a day of walking. Next door to the hotel you can explore the city via the punting boats."

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Wilde Cambridge. Large, comfortable, clean room on the quiet side of the hotel (#302). The small, ensuite kitchen is a great option if you get tired of restaurant meals. There’s also a small, well equipped gym, and laundry facilities available. The staff was professional and courteous. The hotel is in a great central location, tucked away in a quiet corner a few blocks away from all of the hustle and bustle. The Wilde also has an excellent public space, and outdoor terrace to enjoy a drink and some snacks. There’s a bus stop right outside the front door if you prefer public transit over ride sharing. There’s a quaint pub/restaurant called the Maypole around the corner that has an extensive selection of local and international beer. The Wilde is great value for the money and a nice alternative to an Airbnb."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in the centre of the city and a few minutes walk from the Cambridge Colleges and activities such as punting on the cam. The rooms were fairly basic and lacked a fridge or mini-bar. Ice dispensers in the hallways though. Good quality shower gel, shampoo, body lotion and conditioner in the bathroom. We were on the 4th (top) floor and so shower pressure wasn’t the best. There was effective air conditioning in the room during a heatwave. The breakfast buffet was excellent quality with a great range of foods available and great value. We chose the hotel because they allowed our dog to stay with us. We would stay there again."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was a great place to stay as I had a meeting to attend in Cambridge and my wife and I wanted to explore the city a lttle too. The swimming pool, although not that large was lovely and we made good use of it. There was a problem with the TV in the room but that got sorted quickly. Breakfast was great."
