The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection By Hilton, is our Best Value pick in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It has four stars and a guest score of 8.6 out of 10 from 1,844 reviews.
It works well for couples, visiting families and anyone who wants a calmer base than the centre itself. The property lists a gym, a pool, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if a hot breakfast is the highlight of your trip, or if you want the highest score in town. Our Luxury pick scores 9.2, and our Budget pick sits next to the station for a lower price.
Location on Milton Road and getting around
The address is 33a Milton Road. Guests rate the location 8.6 out of 10 and describe a quiet spot about 10 to 20 minutes on foot from the city centre.
By straight-line estimate, Cambridge Castle is 0.9 km away, around 11 minutes on foot. The Mathematical Bridge is 1.8 km away, about 23 minutes, and Abbey Stadium is 2 km away, about 25 minutes. All three are walkable by our estimate.
Straight-line times can be shorter than the real route. Check the walk on a map, especially at night or in bad weather.
What guests say
Staff get the warmest comments. Guests describe a friendly, professional team, a warm welcome and helpful service.
Location also scores well. People like that the area is quiet while the centre is still within walking range.
The main complaint concerns breakfast. The buffet is described as extensive, but hot items are often served cold or slow to be replenished. If that would bother you, check whether your rate includes breakfast and consider eating out on some mornings.
Price compared with our other Cambridge picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €177.37 per night, roughly €355 for two nights. The sample median was €196.43 per night, so this hotel was 10% below it. These are not live quotes; check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, ibis Cambridge Central Station, was about €136.97 per night, with a score of 8.4 and three stars. Our Luxury pick, Wilde Cambridge City Centre, was about €209.83 per night, with a score of 9.2 and four stars.
The trade-off is clear. You pay about €40 more per night than the Budget pick for an extra star and a longer facility list. For about €32 more, the Luxury pick gives a noticeably higher score of 9.2 and a city centre address.
