Everything was done to a very high standard, it was like a very classy and stylish New York hotel relocated to Cambridge. Well done to all! It was a very special weekend break for my wife's birthday, and you helped make it special with such high standards. Thank you!

"I enjoyed every minute of my stay at the Varsity Hotel and achieved everything I set out to do."

10.0

The breakfast was delicious, with a range of food to choose from. The staff from reception to the restaurant were always on hand to help me.

More berries, eg blueberries and blackberries, to add to fruit compote. At breakfast. Warm croissant.

"Nice hotel, well located, a short walk from the heart of the city by the river."

8.0

We had a nice room street side. It was spacious and comfortable although some of the furniture was a little dated. The bathrrom had a beautiful roll top bath and a small shower cubicle. The reception staff and concierge were great.

Be aware parking in Cambridge is notoriously difficult. The staff park your car for you which is a great service and they take great care. Be sure to allow them time to get it back. This is not a criticism of the hotel, just something to be aware of.
