Top The Polar Museum Hotel Reviews

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, we used the Castle Hill car park, that was a 15 minute walk, but cheaper. Before going, I checked that I could leave our baggage in reception and the response was quick and helpful. The rooms were lovely and spacious for the three of us. All the extra’s, like body wash, shampoo etc smelt lovely. Nice to have decent toilet roll. Loved the kitchen with the dishwasher, fridge & coffee machine. Would definitely stay again."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfy room. Only issue I had was one of the bedside lights didn’t work and the tv remote controls battery went flat during our stay."

Graduate by Hilton Cambridge

8/10 Good

"I thought the staff on duty were very good, but I believe the Graduate was understaffed in the bar and restaurant area."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"Great stay"

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"A stunning and interesting hotel. Lovely rooms, well appointed and a sumptuous bath!! The bed was one of the comfiest beds I've slept in! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. A lovely fresh cooked breakfast with so much choice. 5 minute walk to the centre. Thoroughly recommend staying here."

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"
