“The hotel's riverside location, steps from Cambridge's heart, is a real draw, enhanced by the beautiful outdoor spaces. I particularly appreciate the blend of local historical touches within a modern hotel, and the garden restaurant with its Marco Pierre White pedigree is a nice touch. For those seeking a Cambridge base with both charm and convenience, this would be a great choice.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Graduate Cambridge offers a great location by the River Cam, within walking distance of the city centre and its attractions. Guests often enjoy the comfortable and modern rooms, some with balconies and lovely river views. The downstairs bar and lounge areas are particularly nice, and the outdoor garden area is perfect for drinks; breakfast offers a great variety, although some guests have found the fruit salad and the pre-made fruit salad to be disappointing.

pretty gardenbroken lamppoor breakfast
The location was acceptable and close to the river. It had a garden area.
The bedside lamps were subpar. One was nonfunctional. Light in the hall required unplugging to turn it off. No bedside lights were available. The breakfast was not great. The fruit salad was poor, and only one granola was gluten-free.
