It was a good stay overall but a bit expensive specially with hidden parking costs. I mean I have never had to pay parking charges worth £30 after already paying so much for my stay. Parking should be complementary. Even after paying for the parking if I don't take my car out at 2:30pm the next day I have to pay extra.

Salomon

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
The property ant the room are nice, it’s to be expected at the price point, but the complete disregard about my request for a room on a higher floor and with a view was really frustrating and disappointing, there are no excuses since the person at our checking told me she had no notes or messages about my request which I did both when reserving the room and when I messaged the hotel one day in advance, as you may imagine I was left with a very bad feeling about Hilton as a brand and won’t be my first choice in the future.

The location of the hotel is good. But it is a long walk going down and the lift is out of service, which is terrible. Besides that, breakfast is not included, which is really something the Hilton status should do.

Great hotel in the heart of Cambridge. 10 mins walk from Colleges and tourist area. Smart, functional hotel with good service and full English breakfast along with cereal, canned juices, tea, coffee, cheeses, freshly made eggs by the chef, etc etc (but no eggs benedict!). Excellent air-conditioning. Expected higher water pressure in the shower. Very comfortable stay.
