The Hilton Cambridge City Centre is ideally located, in the heart of Cambridge, close to many of the colleges and the bars and restaurants in the centre of the city. The hotel has it's own car park, with valet parking and all the staff employed at the hotel are helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was trouble free and our room was warm and comfortable, with all the facilities you would expect from a good quality hotel. As we have come to expect from previous visits to Hilton hotels, breakfast in the morning was excellent, with a good variety of options, both hot and cold. If we return to Cambridge in future we would definitely stay at the Hilton again.

Nice room, let down by service

The room was great and the hotel is asthetically very nice. Unfortunately the use of room service let the hotel down slightly. I placed two orders. Firstly a drinks order with a subsequent food order moments later. The Food order came first (after a significant delay) and if not for enquiring about the drinks order I have little confidence this would have been delivered given there appeared to be confusion from the staff about the existence of the order. The order was taken a second time during the delivery of the food however when this was delivered it was wrong. Due to the time of other bookings there wasnt time to rectify this there and then and in hindsight I would have just left this and ensured I wasnt billed for it the next morning
