The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

We recently returned for a 3 night stay with kids. Once again, the experience was nothing short of impressive. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome at the front desk. A special shout-out to Mark for his professionalism and for being so accommodating with our arrangements. The room itself was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Whenever we had a request or encountered a minor issue, the team was quick to respond by phone or the Hilton app chat. The dining was a real highlight. Breakfast offered a fantastic variety. This time we took advantage of the 10% guest discount for dinner. It was good value for money. The rib-eye was cooked to perfection and the pear tart was a standout finale. The staff were attentive and courteous. It's amazing to be able to enjoy a resort like experience just a stone's throw from the heart of Cambridge. Thanks again to everyone at the hotel for the wonderful service. We already can't wait for our next visit!

I was at Fellows House for quite a bit of time for business. My experience is always fantastic. If there is anybody coming longer than a week this is the hotel for you. The staff is always fantastic especially Nish and Alicia. I was here from 31 to late Jan 2026. There were some pleasant surprises for one there was a Dinner of gratitude that was on the American holiday of Thanksgiving and this meal was very well done the green bean casserole was oh my goodness very good. Alicia was incredible server and recommended a fantastic drink for my meal. Now let me get to the long stay part. First usually the parking garage is open. Yes it is a garage that helps during the winter no issue with morning ice or snow on the window. Okay next is the laundry they have plenty of washers and dryers and all are free. They keep this up as well as they can. I have never not been able to wash my laundry due to a lack of washers. The really nice surprise was my last couple of weeks of my stay I thought it would be nice for an upgrade and Nish was incredible and got me in a nice apartment with a separate living space. My original room was a studio with a kitchenet with a microwave and a sink with a a dishwashing machine. In all my locations I have not been able to find a location like this. Oh the atmosphere during the holidays was incredible. I really appreciated my stay. The housekeeping was very good went beyond several times. Staff again was just fantastic and Nish was so very nice and professional with my request of an upgrade. She let me know that night I was able to do the upgrade. I could move at my own pace so no need to pack like I was going to fly. It was fantastic I was in between rooms from the night to the morning. It did help with the stress of the moving part which I brought on myself that was huge for them to do was not even asked for.

This is our fourth time staying in this hotel, I don't know why I haven't reviewed it before. There is no words needed. We always stay here because we drop our daughter back to Cambridge University and spend an evening. Absolute perfection on every level. We always have the same room. Safe underground parking. Amazing food (Especially the eggs Benedict for breakfast 😂). Super friendly staff who can't do enough for you. Feels like the perfect home away from home! I would give 10 stars if I could ⭐️.

Stayed here for my Birthday, room was incredible! Lovely surprise card and balloons from staff in our room too! Had the best stay Janet on reception was absolutely amazing and was so helpful! Look forward to staying here again. Would 100% recommend!

We had a great stay, the staff were amazing, very attentive to all our needs - specifically Janet at reception. They were so many nice touches that made our trip very special and felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The location is good, around a 20 min walk from the centre of Cambridge or a 10 min drive. The pool and wellness centre was great to have - the pool was little busy and noisy but still enjoyable. All in all a lovely hotel for a little getaway - would recommend.

The Fellows House in Cambridge is simply excellent. The staff are professional, friendly and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. |The rooms are well appointed - I have stayed there 4 times since October 2025- very clean and everything works. |The location of the Fellows House vis a vis the University of Cambridge with its various colleges, the River Cam and the museums could not be better. |The atmosphere of the hotel is both friendly and formal. The various portraits of Cambridge scientists are stunning and works of art in themselves. |The hotel offers good value for money, the underground car park is safe and monitored. The hotel is quiet, there are several food outlets both within the hotel and within around 2 minutes walking distance from the front enterance. |The amenities within the rooms are basic but useful.

I've been renting a room for 1 1/2 week and was told as I was checking in that they had to do a "deep clean" of the room at some point during my stay. "Great" I thought to myself as I enjoy when coming into freshly cleaned hotel rooms and smell soap and whatnot. Well, I didn't see anything different than having my bed pillow fluffed and got two new rolls of toilet paper, 'cause dust from previous renters has been piling up underneath the bed and on top of every surface making all my items and screens dusty for no apparent reason other than the "deep clean lie". There was some sort of crumb on the floor next to the bed table when I arrived and it was still there same day after the cleaning was supposed to happen. They didn't give me clean cups or glasses, or refill the empty espresso capsule tray, I had to ask for my garbage bin to be emptied, and they didn't do anything at all when I let the "clean the room please" light stay on all day (a door feature to signal if you either want to not be disturbed or need the room to be cleaned).

Fellows Hotel ||Loved:|-       The Fellows is not in central Cambridge (Hilton does have another hotel downtown), but this place was close enough to walk to the town centre, and the walk was flat and quite lovely at times along the river. We walked down 4-5 times during our week's stay. |-      We had a two-bedroom suite with an almost full kitchen (no oven), and it felt clean and modern. |-       Housekeeping came daily and did a fab job. |-       Noise was super low throughout our stay; we never heard anything from next door or in the corridors |-       The ground-floor lobby of the hotel is lovely |-       Loved the little coffee shop at the front |-       The staff were always super helpful when I interacted with them|-       Food was excellent to good throughout our stay – a room service burger was one of the best I have had in the UK, and it was hot! |-       Loved the free laundry room in the basement – so helpful |||Challenges:|-       From the outside, the hotel looks like a bad office block building, but once inside, things improve dramatically. |-       No bathtubs in our rooms, which I understand, but it's hard when you're kids who are scared of a shower! |-       Breakfast ends at 10:30 am. I noted the chef refusing to cook eggs while pointing at his watch – I looked, and it was 10:26 am – when I pointed this out to the waitress, she was fabulous and spoke to the chef, and eggs came out (She was tall, with glasses – really good at her job, I thought) |-       The parking can be challenging. There is an underground lot (24 pounds a night), but it is not big enough to hold all the hotel's guests when the hotel is busy. I got caught twice trying to enter the parking lot (there is a barrier) when returning late to the hotel, and it was completely full. One time, I parked on a residential street, and the second time, the hotel's front desk allowed me to park in the check-in parking area at the front. For what we were paying for nightly hotel and parking, I was frustrated with this situation. Guessing if you are going to get a parking space late at night with children in the car is not fun. |-       In the garage, there are a lot of electric car chargers, but I never could get them to work. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with tech support, and the poor guy just ended up saying it's a software issue that I cannot fix, I need to refer it to someone else, and there was nothing more they could do. ||There was more to love here than not, so we would return.
