Jun 26, 2026Everything 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.

Aug 10, 2026We 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.

Aug 10, 2026We 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.

Aug 9, 2026We 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!

Jun 18, 2026The 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.

Sep 19, 2026Værelset 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.
