We had a pleasant stay with a couple of frustrations. Our room wasn’t ready for 4pm so had drinks in the bar but very expensive, wouldn’t have hurt the break to stand the first round as an apology for not being ready. When we got to the room it was lovely and spacious but it was very cold the AC was set to 19c we whacked it up high but it took over 5 hours to warm up enough to be comfortable very frustrating! We had a long day shopping and so opted for room service, they had run out of the Gin we ordered and it took 3 trips to deliver our order. We settled in to watch some TV and relax in the chilly room but it was a very old TV with no modern entertainment like Netflix etc when we had intended to watch a ln Xmas movie. We slept well and breakfast was lovely. Pretty big queue to checkout but w head to do in person because of room charges etc. We enjoyed the stay and the hotel is beautiful and location brilliant but expected a little more for our money.

I am a Cambridge resident and have visited the University Arms many times over the years. On this occasion I was staying the night to attend a charity function. The hotel is lovely, sadly not as architecturally grand as it was pre-fire. Service was excellent a room well appointed. The issue was the room temperature which remained between 23-24 degrees all night with no way to change the settings (centrally controlled). This resulted in a very uncomfortable night with little sleep; at one point I considered checking out and getting a taxi home. I do not generally leave negative reviews, however, as it has been over a week and the hotel has not taken the opportunity to contact me to discus, it seems appropriate to leave a review.

The thermostat in the room was not quite functional. It became hot and then cold. The maid service one day missed replenishing a number of things, but they brought the supplies when we called and gave us some chocolates. We forgot about things in the safe, and they called us and arranged to send back the items. This part was very good.

Loved the Art Deco illustrations throughout the public areas. One of the best designed art hangings I’ve seen outside a museum! Loved my view over Parker’s Piece of students cycling to lectures and playing sport. Staff were generally very kind and helpful.

We loved the hotel and the room, one thing I felt wasn't customer focused was a pre£35 charge for having a pet ( fine after if she fouled but usually it's complimentary or £10), and£40 overnight parking. Excessive. Everything else was superb.
