Everything worked, the staff, the amenities, restaurant, bar, check in and out, car park. All very efficiently run and reasonably priced. Tidy and good looking place, perfectly situated to explore Cambridge, right opposite the Botanical gardens and with the Railway station less than a 10 minute walk. Nice breakfast and although we did not indulge, they had a perfectly reasonable evening menu. Would stay again for sure.

The hotel was a very pleasant surprise, with a small but comfortable and spotlessly clean room. The bathroom was very good, again spotless, with lovely towels, and an excellent shower. Breakfast was cooked fresh, with reasonable choice, and very good service by pleasant staff. Indeed, all staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was free, which with the fairly central location in the city, was a big plus. I'd recommend this hotel without any hesitation.

We enjoyed our stay at The Centenial hotel in Cambridge. The hotel is ideally situated to walk to all the amenities the city has to offer. Straight line to the main shops, restaurants and colleges. The free car park for the hotel is a huge asset. The hotel is well run, the breakfast was excellent.

We had an attic room which I personally wouldn’t recommend. But it’s all they had at the time. It was clean, although hotel is dated. The staff and breakfast were great.

10/10 Exceptional

We absolutely loved this hotel - it was convenient for the city centre & sights, located very near to an artisan bakery & coffee shop, wine bar and botanical gardens. The hotel was super clean & great that they had suitable parking. The staff were wonderful and so helpful at providing plenty of information for sightseeing. Only slight negative but this is nit picking, the quality of the breakfast wasn’t great albeit it was cooked perfectly well. Sausages and breads were pretty average. Considering it all, this hotel is still worth top marks. We’d love to stay again!

Great staff and safe location. Located couple blocks from the train station. Room was very clean and cozy. The breakfast was amazing!! I would highly recommend staying here!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and the staff were excellent. There is a large sitting room off the reception area that is a great place to meet people or just rest with your party during the visit, which is fantastic. The only challenge was the fire alarm in the room had a VERY bright light that ultimately had to cover with a towel to get off to sleep. Also, the windows aren't great at drowning out the road noise, which is a common issue in hotels on these busy roads, so be sure to bring ear plugs with you. Being in the loft also means the ceilings taper away and you have to be careful of bumping your head, which I did a couple of times. Over all it was a really nice stay and I would consider this again for sure.

Værelset var rent og okay men meget gammeldags. Rigtig meget støj fra nærliggende byggeplads og virkelig dårlig ventilation i værelset og på badeværelset. Der er ikke AC og der er meget varmt. Maden er utrolig dårlig.

Hotellets reception stängde 24.00, och det var svårt att komma hem efter 24.00 då man var tvungen att lämna in nyckeln i receptionen när man lämnade hotellet
