One of the most unforgettable experiences lately, room was newly renovated, very comfortable and had an amazing view to the college courtyard.
Breakfast was way better than the ones in 4-star London hotels and the breakfast room is like out of Harry Potter books. Big thanks to the staff and Jesus college. They truly took us to our good old college times.

Fabulous accommodation in great building. Lots of thoughtful touches in the room ie plenty of tea and coffee, great kitchen set up in the apartment rooms. Can’t fault the venue. Great breakfast and all staff very helpful.
The accommodation is in a fabulous location, easy for all the sights in Cambridge. Would definitely stay again.
What a serene hotel in the lively city of Cambridge. The rooms overlooking the courthouse are particularly lovely, simple but good. It’s a great base for any visit to the city. The only downside was the late start of breakfast service. We would have loved to grab a bite at 6:30 AM before heading out.
We loved our stay! My spouse and I were initially unsure about the shared bathroom, but it turned out to be a non-issue. The grounds were delightful, and while the room was small, the design made it feel just right—cozy and well thought-out.
Breakfast was a highlight: the morning walk to it added charm, and the meal itself brought real joy. The location was excellent—peaceful yet well-connected.
I would absolutely recommend this place to friends visiting the area.
Tip: Shop around for punting—prices can go as low as £20–£25 if you look!
This is a lovely place to stay, both centrally located and, at least in the old block, quiet with rooms overlooking the quad or other green areas. The staff were so helpful and friendly and there is a pleasant cafe and bar area. The rooms in the old block where I stayed were lovely and very comfortable.
What a lovely place - the room was great, clean and comfortable! The winner was breakfast in the divine hall - never such a beautiful place to eat breakfast
All the staff were most helpful and courteous. The en suite room was most comfortable and clean, with a beautiful view out onto the courtyard garden. Would certainly stay again.
Room in a dormitory in Jesus College. Access to private grounds, breakfast in their dining hall. Quite reasonably priced. What’s not to like here? The shared bathroom. Other than that, it was pretty great.
Clean, quiet, comfortable, modern. Great location - few minutes walk to shops and restaurants. Lovely buildings and grounds. Good breakfast - however only from 7.30am, which might not leave enough time for business travellers.
Expectations should be set low for college accommodation at Cambridge. It is not luxury but it was better than what I received as a student. The breakfast in the historic main hall of Jesus college was the best!
Wonderful to be part of the college! Central to shops and all that Cambridge has to offer. East walk from the Park and Ride stop and restaurants 5 mins away.
Staff were very helpful and informative and helped with our bags. We stayed in early November and were not aware of other guests even though we were sharing a bathroom.
Cosy, warm and very clean- a wonderful change from a hotel.
Great location, spotless, great staff and fabulous breakfast! We did park and ride to get to hotel, its about 8 mins walk from bus stop to hotel and, as we arrived early, they kindly lept our luggage so we could have a look roumd Cambridge before checking in. There is also a nice bar. Kettle & fridge in room was handy. We would stay again as it had lovely view of the college from the bedroom window, was quiet and great for visiting Cambridge.
The property is very conveniently located to allow great access to all the Cambridge sights. The room was lovely and well-appointed with teas, coffee and even hot chocolate. The property is beautiful and allows for great walks in their green space. The staff were definitely helpful though sometimes with a slightly detached attitude. That is the only criticism I would have.
We had an excellent stay at West Court. The college is very beautiful and peaceful. From our room, we got to see the courtyard from the window and had the breakfast at the hall. It is such a unique experience just like you are living there like a student. The only issue we had was the shower was broken and only cold water is available. But the reception staff was very nice and responsive.
