The hype
Travelers love the spacious, modern studios and the friendly staff, but often underestimate the walk to the main colleges.
The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio By Hilton
$170-260/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the space of an apartment with the perks of a high-end hotel, and don't mind a 15-minute walk to the historic center.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Apartment-style rooms with fully equipped kitchens (dishwasher included)
- Thoughtful 'Cambridge Fellows' theme with DNA helices and bicycle art
- On-site underground parking (a rarity in Cambridge)
Brzi pregled: It's a glorified, very stylish university hall of residence for grown-ups who appreciate a kitchenette more than a river view.
Pregledano od @that.hilton.life: My stay at The Fellows House was exactly the reset I needed. The room is a total sanctuary—super quiet with heavy curtains, and the desk setup was actually perfect for getting work done before crashing in that massive bed.
