Nice base for Cambridge but quite far from centre.
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.

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.

Didn’t bother
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 spot at a good price with friendly staff
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.

Waterman - overnight stay
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.

So glad my friend and I booked a room here. It's a lovely building and the pub is great with a very nice deck out back. The lunch we had was great, and the breakfast we ate in the attached cafe was delicious. Staff was EXCELLENT and so kind and helpful. Our room was a little smaller than we expected, but it was fine. We had booked a deluxe double room, so we needed to split the double bed apart to make 2 twins. The hotel didn't have another duvet for us, but we just used a few extra sheets for cover. The bathroom was also a little tight, but nicely done and the shower was good! The Waterman is a bit out of the center of town, but easily walkable and it was surprisingly so quiet at night. Didn't hear a bit of noise from the other rooms, either. I'd surely stay at The Waterman again!
