What our guests
say about us...

Two days at Christ’s College for 2 with breakfast.

April 13, 2026

The experience of staying at Christ’s was excellent. All staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The room was light. clean and supplied with good quality, freshly laundered linen. It was a pleasure to walk through the college grounds to our room. Breakfasts were of a high standard, and offered a good variety of choices. We would have had dinner at the college but wasn’t aware that we had to book in advance.

Not to be missed if you have the opportunity

A brilliant and unique place to stay in Cambridge; an oasis in the heart of the city. Beautiful grounds and surroundings and very friendly staff. If room facing south/south-west, it can get quite hot on a sunny day and the windows of the Lasdun building open in a funky way. Also, the en-suite is a tad small and with a step access but overall, it was super clean and comfy and extra special with the ancient college vibe. Highly recommended.

Decent and quiet.

The room was basic, but did have an en suite bathroom.

It lacked a proper bedside or desk lamp. There were lighting fixtures, but that’s less convenient.

The bathroom cabinet had not been adequately cleaned out.

The porters and staff were kind and polite.

It was wonderful to have access to the college courts and the tranquility therein.

Your Questions..

There is no parking on-site at Christ’s College. We recommend guests use public transport to visit us There are several Park and Ride sites located outside the city centre with frequent buses into Cambridge. If you are travelling by car we recommend that visitors use these facilities whenever possible. You can leave the car at the Park and Ride sites overnight but there is a charge. If you do decide to venture in and park in town the closest car park to Christ’s is the Grand Arcade or the Grafton Centre, however, do be aware that parking in Cambridge city centre car parks can be difficult (these city centre car parks are often full) and is also expensive. Cambridge city centre is often very congested indeed, particularly around rush hours and school run times (around 3.30 pm), when you tend to get stuck in a long queue. ). Be careful driving centrally as there are some bus gates, which will result in a fine if you go through them! Christ’s main gate is on St Andrew’s Street. Please see the directions to Christ’s College page for further information on public transport options
Please don’t smoke inside. Smoking is not allowed in bedrooms or any of the buildings in Christ’s. If you smoke, please be aware that the only area of College where this is allowed is the Darwin Portico behind Third Court. This has some shelter and is marked on the College map.
