I was almost breaking my leg walking into the room I was given because there were three steps after the door into the room and nobody told me that. I opened the door into a dark room after a late booking and checking in and walked into an empty space. Awful. Almost breaking my leg. And when I told this to the reception the next morning they couldn't wait to see the back of me out of embarrassment. Poor architecture, poor management. Never coming back again.

Dont be fooled by the outside
The hotel was ideally situated for us as was only 10 mins walk into the main centre of city ..although its not much to look at from outside dont be fooled as it was very nice inside and spacious..we chose a room with just a bath and the room was very nice and clean with a tv and kettle also a hairdryer very handy .. we also had lunch in one of the restaurants and it was lovely very tasty and reasonably priced..a reasonably price hotel ideally situated the only down fall for us was the price of the on site carpark which was a bit steep wasnt expecting that at all and pushed the price up for a cheapish weekend stay

Reminded me of Faulty Towers
Upon checking in I was immediately told that I had booked through Expedia, so that will be £18 a night to park my car. I had missed some kind of small print somewhere that obviously would have informed me that parking was chargeable, unless you book directly with the hotel. There are better ways to be greeted. The hotel is old and in need of a complete update. No air conditioning and the days we stayed, it was very hot. No fan in the room. A complete lack of plugs. A hairdryer is supplied but it is completely useless, and not really fit for purpose. There are lights shining on the front of the hotel in the evening. They switch off at midnight. Our room was at the front and the lights lit up the room, even with the curtains closed. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

My double room didn’t have a shower, only a bath with separate taps for hot and cold water. I was in a rush that morning for an event at Cambridge Judge Business School, and I didn’t have the time for a full bath. The entire room, including the bathroom, was carpeted and did not seem very clean. Additionally, there were many stairs to climb up and down to reach the room. They did not provide coffee during breakfast, and despite asking three times, I was eventually told, “Breakfast is almost done, so we won’t be providing it anymore.”

This was our first stay in Cambridge and we wanted to be chose to the centre so chose the Arundel House hotel. We found it really easy to get to. Our room was pleasant and clean. The facilities in the room are quite basic but were fine for an overnight stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is parking at the rear of the hotel. It cost us £18 up for overnight parking and it runs to 11:30am on the departure day. You can stay a little longer at £2.50 for every extra hour thereafter which seemed quite reasonable.

Ok single room
Single rooms are small, though tidy - main problem was the heat wave, but can't blame the hotel for that

The hotel has a 1970s feel which we quite like. The room is comfortable. It was a hot weekend when we were there and we enjoyed sitting in the garden for quite some time. The only frustration was that the bar closed at 9.30pm. You could buy a bottle of wine from reception but were then told to drink it in the room and not in the public areas.

This is a beautiful, old property, a stately old lady, on a tree-lined street across from the River Cam and a beautiful green park called Jesus Green. Entering the park across a small footbridge, you can easily walk to the Venetian-style boats pushed by punters with long poles, and in the other direction, beyond the small waterfall, a rowing club boathouse. You can also easily walk into downtown Cambridge for restaurants and sightseeing. There are several narrow houseboats on the Cam. The sidewalks and park are lovely if you have small or older children with energy and interest. What makes the property especially charming is the welcome from the receptionist (an elegant Persian lady) which raises this property from “nice” to “a pleasure.” There is parking behind the property at $18 a day, and a walkable co-op grocery. In many ways, this property is ideal for nearly any visitor because of the location, the warm welcome, the cleanliness, the tradition. There is even a restaurant downstairs. There is television in each room, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms. The windows open (as there is no AC).

Great location
We had a great stay here. We arrived early not expecting to check in but just leave our luggage, but our room was ready so we were able to check in which was good. Inside may appear dated, but its immaculately clean and well kept. The staff were all friendly. Continental breakfast was very good with a good choice. We were situated on the 3rd floor. Please note there is no lift. There are steps in all parts of the hotel so not very accessible, but this was no issue for us. Because of the weather, our room was very hot. The location is ideal for exploring Cambridge. We would recommend this hotel.

I thought it was a lovely hotel. Personal and quiet. The building is beautiful and I loved the areas we could sit especially the sun room!! My room was exactly as it was advertised and I stayed 7 nights. The only thing to spoil my time there was that I witnessed several guests behaving in a rude manner to the staff, ordering Uber eats and telling them to leave it at reception (when it clearly states in the rooms they do not want that) and quite a lot of slamming of doors and shouting outside people’s rooms! I really felt for the people running this lovely hotel who were attentive and polite at all times. I would definitely stay here again.
