Positives- very clean, friendly, helpful staff, convenient for town centre etc. Nice furniture and decor. Negatives- expensive parking and bar. Charged for two breakfasts we didn't have but quickly corrected. Mini fridge in room would have been useful.

Center of Cambridge, easy for everything!
Love the location, center of Cambridge. For parking, you can utilize the parking structure that next/ back to the hotel ( for off hour, parking is really cheap; hotel has had valet parking only) . Lots of restaurants near the hotel, oh also, short walk distance to many Cambridge campuses. As first time visitor, very satisfy with it.

Expected more from the Hilton
Check in was ok though we had to wait quite a while and the person on the front desk wasn't particularly welcoming. However, there was a treat left in our room for my husbands birthday which was nice. The room itself was spacious and had all we needed. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good nights sleep. For the price paid and reputation though I would have expected the room to be in better condition as there was wallpaper peeling off the walls.

Most inconsiderate hotel ever
I booked more than 6 weeks in advance, paid £450++ per night I checked in in the middle of a heatwave The ac in the room was obviously broken I complained immediately, reception told me 3 hours later that the ac was indeed broken - they knew about it and hasn’t bothered to fix it or give me alternate rooms I was there for my daughters graduation with elderly parents and I missed the afternoon event due to having to sort this issue out One person offered me a full refund but I couldn’t find a room in any other hotel for 2 nights for 3 people or 2 rooms as it’s last minute and graduation day at 5 colleges I was told point blank we can’t help you I was late for the grad dinner also Finally when we returned at night the person who said he was the duty manager said he could move us the next morning to another room but would not guarantee it would accommodate 3 people So I finally found and booked the last room available at Hotel Du Vin for myself and left my parents at Hilton Yesterday they moved us to a room for 3 but I had already booked the other hotel the night before so I moved out to go there instead All while also moving my daughter out of her dorm, attending her events and taking care of my parents We spent last night in different hotels This morning at check out they decided to charge me for both nights at first The person who promised the full refund was naturally off today After charging the full amount they then credited me 1 night back
