Downing College

A good experience

Pros: Downing is a beautiful college with lovely spacious gardens. The porters were all very friendly and went out of their way to help with our requests.

Cons: Bed was on the firm side.

Lovely stay in heart of Cambridge

Pros: Great location, just a short walk into the heart of Cambridge. Check in easy, just visit the Porter's Lodge. Really quiet when we stayed, so had a great night's sleep. Awesome breakfast in the main hall, a better standard than any hotel ive been to, very impressed!! Rooms clean and the grounds immaculate. Do note there is no carpark, the main one is about a 10 minute walk away, but is 24hr. Would highly recommend.

Pros: The staff were amazing and the grounds beautiful. Really secure accommodation feels very safe. Room well laid out and wonderfully clean

Cons: .. The bed was a bit too soft for my taste. The location in terms of grounds is wonderful but the main road is very busy with people leaving the pubs so lots of shouting and cars racing.not the fault of the accommodation

A great experience would stay again

Pros: Great location in central Cambridge. Lovely buildings and staff helpful.

Cons: Car parking option would have been very useful. Unfortunately the on-site cafe was closed.

Pros: What a privilege to stay in such a magnificent building in a perfect location!

Perfect glimpse into the academic charm of Cambridge

Pros: Staying at Downing College was a wonderful way to experience the academic spirit of Cambridge up close. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the location is perfect, just a short walk from the city centre, but still tucked away enough to feel calm and secluded.

Enjoyed stay but would not return if heating off incase of cold or wet weather

Pros: Porters very helpful and friendly. Good very clean room on second floor that was interesting to appreciate student living and quiet. Very small hairdryer but good mirror and socket. Fresh clean towels daily! Good wardrobe.

Cons: Heating off during May to October including heated towel rail in bathroom! No drying facilities or heat if wet! No.lift so case had to be taken up 2 flights of stairs.

Pros: Lovely experience. Was unsure about staying in Dormers but the place looked so good we took a chance. Grounds are stunning, we got to see Shakespeare on the grass as part of the festival and it's in town so loads of access to shops

Pros: Centrally located, with a very clean and modern room. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It felt more like a stylish hotel room than typical student accommodation. The building had a lift, which was extremely helpful for us as we had heavy suitcases.

Cons: Bed was a bit small for 2 people, but ok for 2 nights stay.

Spotless, convenient and calm.

Pros: Our daughter staying at the campus, so it is convenient for us to meet her.

Cons: It is so clean spotless! Just what we need. We are happy to stay in a very clean place!
