Very good value for money. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice pressure warm shower and plenty of plugs available for devices. Restaurant dinner was good and parking available.

I've stayed here before, and I'll do that again. The rooms are good, if a little in need of TLC. But, I'm amongst other things, a finisher in construction, so I notice the slightest fault.. The Hotel itself is in an excellent position for tourists or shoppers in Cambridge, and the continental breakfast options are are excellent. although I'll probably bring my own mug for tea or coffee, the cups are tiny!

Not great, not the worst. It feels like it got stuck in the 60-70's. Very oldfashion looking (looks like the Overlook from the shining.
Our 1st night was terrible, as the room we were given had the radiator not working. It was 2°C outside. Even the room next door (only other room available) was not warming up. So we had to put up with an outdated mini fan heater. At least we were put in a room with heating the next day.
Breakfast isn't good either, they only give filtered coffee, bread and yogurt of you don't want to pay extra for a full English.
Annoyingly, there are no power sockets next to the beds. So you can't sit on bed and charge devices while using them at the same time.
Good thing is that the rooms are quite clean, including the bathroom. Staff is also friendly, but seem to be a bit under prepared.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be decent value for money. However, there were a few issues that detracted from the experience.
The room itself could have been cleaner—there were noticeable hairs from previous guests on the floor, which gave a poor first impression.
The continental breakfast was also underwhelming. The selection was quite limited: plain toast bread, only sweet fruit yoghurts or 0%-fat options, and no vegetables at all (although some fresh fruits, which was nice).
Overall, it’s not a bad place to stay if you’re on a budget, but there’s room for improvement.

Hotel nice and clean but very dated. Good location and easy access to city centre. Hotel requires full update and renovation. Rooms need more electrical sockets as well. Continual breakfast free but if you want full English extra £12.50. Had evening meal at hotel, nice food and very reasonably priced. If you book Direct with hotel apparently parking is free but if you book via 3rd Party they charge you £18 per car, so as I met a friend there even though we booked twin room it cost £36 for parking. Very expensive

Another nice stay at Arundel House Hotel. Room was clean with great views over the River Cam and Jesus Green. Room was a small single, but had everything you needed. Bathroom was also clean with a good shower.
There are however bright lights outside the hotel illuminating the hotel frontage that also shine right into the room, so you have to close the curtains to block out the light.
Buffet continental breakfast is included in the room rate, but you can upgrade to full English if you want. Bar was well stocked, but a little overpriced. Car parking cost £18 per day.
Overall a nice stay and will definitely return again.

Dated but clean and comfortable, bar shut even to residents at 2200hrs, we had a large room overlooking the river and park, 10 minute walk to the city centre alongside the river. Parking is £18 for the overnight but ended at 1100.

Excellent break. Hotel is perfectly situated- short walk to town yet away from the hustle and bustle. Parking on site is a big advantage. Easy to find and you don’t have to drive in town centre.

We had booked a small double room which was in the annexe behind the car park. Despite having the window open and heating off (end of October) we were still rather hot.
Parking is £18 a day unless you book your room directly with the hotel. Street Parking is available for free about a 10 minute walk away heading out of town.
Very good location to central Cambridge for the price.

The Arundel Hotel is a 15mins walk across the park to the town centre. It has a restaurant but we did not eat there. Our Room 109, located in the coach house, was clean, an adequate size and had a walk in shower (not all did). The continental style breakfast offered a good selection of food and drink. Our only complaint was that the room was over heated and the duvet too thick to really sleep comfortably.

I felt very safe and looked after as a solo traveler. The restaurant and conservatory area were excellent

I wanted a good quality quiet hotel for a weekend break alone. I had a small single room which was very clean and well furnished. Bathroom was nice, powerful shower. I would of given 5 stars for cleanliness but on arrival and first use of ensuite toilet it had not been flushed! The staff where pleasant. The food was excellent. Disappointed that the restaurant was closed on Sunday evening. It would have been helpful if there has been a sign up in the reception to say restaurant was not open that night as I had planned to eat there and then had to walk out into town alone at night to find a restaurant. I always felt safe but wouldn't advise walking by canal or over Jesus Green alone late at night. Bed was made up daily and new towels, plenty of milk and biscuits etc with tea facilities, more available from reception if needed. I believe description mentions sound proof rooms however I was woken up after midnight 1 night by couple in next room arguing loudly and slamming doors! My room was on top floor, there are no lifts but I was fine with this as I always walk. The hotel was classic old style decor. Breakfast buffet impressive. I would definitely go back again.

Charging Hotel guests £18 to park onsite is a disgrace. The room was spacious but dirty, cobwebs all over the curtains, rotten window frames, no shower in the bathroom. We were not impressed for £160. The continental breakfast wasn't great and for £160 plus £18 to park, we should have had a full English thrown in. The location is ok, by the river, but nothing special, graffiti on buildings, people were drinking in the street, just generally not an upmarket feel as you would maybe expect in Cambridge. Maybe I should have done more homework before booking. On the whole a bit dissapointing. Would not stay there again unless cleaned up, refurbed with shower, free parking and full english breakfast, then maybe it would be considered.

The hotel is quite shabby with damp smell. The tv in our room didn't work and reception staff couldn't do anything. I complained but staff weren't helpful and I was told the manager was on holiday. No refund or compensation was offered. A cooked breakfast was extra although a picture is shown on the website which is misleading. Parking at the hotel is extra. On the day we arrived there was a bike race in Cambridge with several roads shut so we couldn't drive to the hotel carpark. Staff didn't seem to know anything about it and weren't able to suggest alternative parking or help at all. Good location but pretty disappointing experience.

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.
