The Varsity

Lovely hotel, I didn't use the pool/gym /spa but it looked lovely. I don't think staff training was on point, lacking a professional touch (everyone was friendly though). The light of my room went off in the evening, and the reception didn't communicate well in what they planned to do about it. My room was facing a back alley, there was a group of men was having such a party up until midnight. The noise level was not really acceptable and hotel did not stock any earplugs (Please do). The manager did offer a room swap for me and let me have both keys so that I don’t need to move my stuff during late hours. Walkability: close to centre

Ein super schöner Aisblick auf Cambridge .... und gute Cocktails

Good location for city center, but recieved bad service from a manager here and over heard how they speak to delivery drivers

Only here for drinks. Service & drinks good but somewhat over-priced.

I booked a stay at the varsity hotel to celebrate my birthday. The varsity is a fabulous hotel situated right in the heart of Cambridge tucked away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to be at any of the Cambridge university landmarks in less than 30 minutes. The staff at check where a delight, welcoming us warmly, giving us a brief overview of the facilities and then escorting us and our luggage up to the room. Our room was spacious and luxurious, the bathroom had a Victorian free standing bath, a shower. Full sized vanity and separate sink; which was a nice touch to a couples weekend. The varsity offer a fabulous selection of services, from breakfast in bed to their WhatsApp e-butler service; a 24 hour on call butler. Overall I couldn’t recommend the varsity hotel more for the perfect get away weekend. The Glassworks spa and gym located 5 minutes walk from the reception offer a gymnasium, spa with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Further offering Elemis spa treatments and Aveda hair salon. My partner and I enjoyed a couples full body Swedish massage which was the perfect way to finish off a great day spent out and about exploring all that Cambridge has to offer. The hotel offered bikes and organised punting for guests. Taxi services organised by the hotel were also hassle free and the rooftop bar and restaurant are truly worth every penny. The staff, where attentive and knowledgeable, kind and friendly. The food and drinks are outstanding and the view is breathtaking. We enjoyed both the dinner and breakfast service and both were something to be remembered. Nearby activities: The river cam is less then a 2 minute walk and a Punting tour of the college packs is the perfect historical and cultural experience. Noteworthy details: Due to the high volume of students in Cambridge the hotel does have some nighttime noise. Hence I would request a room not facing the street. However the noise wasn’t something that kept us awake.
