The Varsity

Highly recommend the Varsity Hotel following our recent stay. The staff throughout the hotel created a warm, friendly atmosphere and the service was prompt and efficient. They really made a difference to our stay. The room was a good size, with comfortable bed and was well equipped. Views are good too. The bar staff were attentive and made great cocktails, breakfast was also good, again with friendly and efficient service. Check in was welcoming and checkout was speedy and the taxi they called arrived quickly. It’s well located for easy walking to the centre of town and its location by the river was quiet. I’d definitely book again when we visit Cambridge.

Best roof top in town (maybe the only one in town…) Get a drink a dusk in a good weather day and you will see the best sunsets. You can get moonrise and sunset on full moon days. Great cocktails… food downstairs.

Still the No.1 rated hotel in Cambridge. Overseen by Roberto, the hotel's GM.

There are 2 restaurants (SIX on the 6th floor has a great view across the rooftops towards Jesus Green). There is also a spa & gym.

Lovely hotel and restaurant/rooftop terrace.
Room was good with comfy bed and pillows. Hotel is close to so many food places and about 7mins walk from the market place with load more restaurants and shops.
Bathroom was well lit, and elemis toiletries. Shower was good.

Went to The Varsity for afternoon tea and it was amazing experience from start to finish! The egg sandwich and salted caramel cake were absolutely gorgeous but to be fair all the food was lush. Staff really friendly and professional.

Anna and her colleagues were very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Out room had a fantastic view through a big picture window. The location is very central too. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I had a night at the Varsity for our wedding anniversary and we could not have been more happy. The hotel staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful, immediately making us feel at home.
The room was amazing with great views, wonderfully kitted it out, modern and spacious.
Make sure you have a drink on the rooftop terrace if the weather permits as the view is outstanding. Breakfast at ‘the Six’ restaurant was very good and worth paying for.
Everything about this hotel, from its location to its staff was absolutely top tier and I would love to visit again soon.

Great location just cant Park there! We parked on castle street and got a taxi there. Food was excellent 👌

I've wanted a spa break for ages and selected The Varsity. I don't have one regret. It is in the heart of Cambridge but the valet service and baggage hold took away the worry of what to do with the car while we went shopping and out for lunch.
On arrival the staff were Friendly and attentive.
We took advantage of the early check in so we had time to change and make use of the spa and the treatments we had booked.
The gym was a decent size with enough equipment and weights available to keep you busy for a good while. Our spa hosts were again spot on and the package provided a welcome two hours of relaxation.
Breakfast in the Six was again as expected and in keeping with the little bit of luxury feel.
So the room, I booked a graduate but was allocated a King Size. What a welcome surprise that was. It was great. I'm not particularly well travelled but I was certainly impressed. Fantastic view of the city, massive bathroom and a comfortable bed.
We were seeing some R&R and certainly got it. Thank you team Varsity.

Had our Christmas meal here. Staff were lovely. Food was good.

From start to finish our experience was amazing! Our room was perfect , the bath in the room just added to the stay. Food and cocktails were equally as delicious.
Spa & treatments were luxurious.
The overall stay was fantastic including the fab location.

Couldn’t recommend enough !!

Fabulous my friend treated me to an early birthday afternoon tea sadly because the weather gale force winds n heavy rain could not use the roof garden so went on the under cover balcony obvs bit dissapojbted but the experience my little birthday mouse with candle the afternoon tea delicous I felt very special try the yummy afternoon tea its great u will love it and customer service excellent will def ho back again 😊

Lovely view from Six Restaurant, a great afternoon tea & good service 👍

Had a brilliant stay here in a 5th floor room with incredible views. The hotel is on a quiet street in central Cambridge. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Where do I start, from the first lot of communication they were so professional. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The views from our room we're amazing and the location is very close to the centre of Cambridge and river, both lovely to walk. Food was lovely, spa facilities were great and the treatments sent me to sleep. Gemma was amazing and really looked after me. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

We had a lovely afternoon tea on the terrace. Beautifully presented and really tasty.

Lovely restaurant with good food and excellent view.of the city.

Slightly more expensive than I usually go for, but it is really worth it for a special occasion.
There is only one lift do need to wait to get to the Six resturant...which I know there is little to be done about it, but it is worth the wait for the lovely views.

The food was delicious and the service was good. This a great place to stay eat and drink and being right in the middle of Cambridge and near the river

We felt cold out on the terrace so the waiters closed the top roof...thanks for the consideration

Lovely enviroment, great food, very attentive service. I couldn't ask for more 😀

Came here for afternoon tea and received a free upgrade!! Highly recommend.

Went to the restaurant on the 6th floor the food was amazing service was brilliant
