Overall Ratings & Reviews The Waterman

The accommodation was OK which says it all. Nothing was particularly bad and nothing was exceptional except its location to the river and centre. Parking a nightmare and the bathroom sink is ridiculously small, real trouble turning the shower on

Lovely hotel but the emergency exit light in our room (4) was so bright it was difficult to sleep. Couldn’t fault it otherwise but obviously this is an issue restwise Really pleasant staff and nice location just out of town

Very nice

Very nice place to stay

The staff is very friendly and willing to help.

All was good, possibly the best “full English” ever. The bar did close at 22:30which was a bit early for us.

The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was fun.

Lovely location on top of a quiet pub, easy walk to Cambridge city centre, very dog friendly!

The englidh breakfast at the waterman is excellent

Small rooms, right bathroom space, but it is a very old pub. Staff were great.

Stayed at the Waterman for our anniversary trip to Cambridge. Was a bit further away from town than expected however it was a pleasant walk into town. Waterman welcome was very nice. Stayed in room one. Bed comfortable apart from the pillows we both had neck ache by the 2nd night. Could have done with drawers in the room as the storage was very limited and only 4 hangers for 2 of us for 2 nights. Ceiling/wall fan didn’t work and one bulb in toilet / shower room kept flickering for the 1st 5 minutes of being turned on. Window was small in the room and obscured as it looks over the pub garden. Room had hairdryer and a floor fan and tea / coffee making facilities. Overall a pleasant stay. Breakfast wasn't included if not booked direct which wasn’t clear when booking through hotels.com especially as I had filtered for accommodation that included breakfast.

Lovely pub and rooms! Parking was challenging, but otherwise everything was just what we needed!

It was very hot in the room, some proper air con rather than a fan would have been welcome. Food was pretty good, more gluten free options would be welcomed. Staff were very pleasant, and the location was excellent (we were staying over night to see a gig at the portland arms!). Tea and coffee making facilities and water in the room was good (some biccies too would be nice). Shower was good too. All in all would recommend. Wish we'd actually booked for 2 nights not just one.

Great location

Lovely room and facilities. Very friendly staff and good breakfast

Didn’t check in as the outside of the building looked run down. Not as the pictures on the website suggested. I didn’t bother checking in as I am tired of being constantly let down.

Great stay friendly staff and would stay again. Good distance from city centre and pleasant walk in

Great place to stay. The pub is cool, the food is excellent, and the staff are super-friendly. The room was nicely decked out and although it was a hot night, there were numerous fans in the room to help out. Great shower. Dog friendly too, with treats and lots of welcome fuss. Location is convenient and there are paid parking spots along the road so it wasn’t a problem. Recommend.

The room was lovely and clean, the staff are very helpful and friendly.

Lovely pub and room facilities. Stayed during the England Euro game so extremely busy but great atmosphere. Bar and food facilities great - parking quite expensive but that applies to the whole of Cambridge centre. Plenty of room in the double deluxe and everything available in the room for an overnight stay. Only small issue is proximity to busy road and the noise from the road traffic. Ideal for our purposes as we had a late night out.
