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.

Food at the Tavern is truly amazing. Rooms aren't great - curtains don't close properly so you get woken up early. Also, no sound insulation so we can hear every step from the person staying the floor above. Breakfast options are very limited. Drinks/mocktails at the bar are not great - too sweat.
