Hotel du Vin Cambridge

We attended a private function in one of the reception rooms, but did not stay in this hotel. The facilities we accessed were excellent, well presented and warm. While the building is old it has been extensively renovated and the results are excellent. The food was excellent, well prepared and presented. The service was unobtrusive and efficient. A very pleasant experience all round.

Disappointing! Bistro review only! Go to the Ivy instead! Arrived at the hotel bar which was closed until 5pm! So we went next door to Browns and spent over £100 on drinks so wasted opportunity. We arrived to an empty bistro and no member of staff in there to greet us. When the waiter finally arrived there was no offer to take our coats which we then had to put on the back of our chairs after being outside in the rain. The food I have to say was excellent we did enjoy the three courses, BUT there is a lack of attention to detail. The table wasn’t set properly I was missing a fork which we had take from another table as the waiter didn’t notice after our starters. The waiter was pleasant and nice enough but was a very odd experience being the only ones in the restaurant this is at 2pm on a Saturday! And we were the only ones in there when we left at 4 as another couple arrived. There was also no toilet paper in the bathroom. Whilst the food was good, the experience was underwhelming and for the same price you can have great food, impeccable service and all the attention to details if you go to the Ivy, sorry but we would not return. If I was the hotel manager I would also be extremely concerned that their restaurant was empty on a Saturday.

My husband and I recently visited Cambridge and stayed here for two nights. The staff was incredibly helpful, stored our luggage before check-in and moved it into our room when it was available. Our room was toward the back of the hotel, with a view over a courtyard, so it was very quiet. The room and bathroom were spacious, with lovely high quality bedding and linens. We also enjoyed the breakfast, with lots of choices on the continental buffet and cooked breakfast options from the menu. The hotel is in a convenient location in Cambridge and is a short walk to the center centre. We had a rental car that we were able to park out front of the hotel (hourly rate parking spot during day time hours). We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to others.

Lovely cellar bar. Lots of cosy alcoves and booths for drinking. Very helpful quick service.

Visited Hotel du Vin a few weeks back with a colleague on a work trip. We had a fantastic stay with a great welcome and feeling well looked after. The staff were incredibly useful and went the extra mile to ensure we knew our way around the city and became acquainted with some of the bars of the area. As we were from out of town, we didn't know the local customs and traditions, some of the staff were quick to step up and make sure we safe at all times and didn't get taken advantage of. Bravery at its finest. Hope to come back to soon and experience the Hotel du Vin hospitality again
