Top Whipple Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"Loved the compliment Bentley tour around Cambridge and cocktails. Location is great and parking is good although a bit pricey. Rooms in the Gresham House are very nice and the turn down service is great. We had trouble with the heating (too hot), a broken coffee maker and a missing tv remote. I'd still recommend and stay there again in any case."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great. Room was simple and functional. Lots of cold breakfast choices."

10/10 Excellent
