History

Westminster College buildings were built in 1899 by the Presbyterian Church of England, to replace their existing one in London. The move to Cambridge was largely at the urging of two remarkable twin sisters, Margaret and Agnes Smith, whose portraits now hang in the main dining hall. The college is a Grade II listed building. Almost all the original work survives, with modern facilities sympathetically introduced.

The College is today a Theological College affiliated with Cambridge University with some 50 students; most in training for ministry in the Church.

We arrived early for check-in. The staff were helpful storing our luggage and showing us around. When we could check-in, the room was immaculate and exactly as described. Breakfast was excellent after a good night's sleep and we met some interesting people at the first and subsequent breakfasts. The location is convenient to everything. We had friends staying in a hotel paying three times our bill and regretting their selection.

It was a safe and secure place to stay as a single person.Staff and other people staying were friendly.Breakfast was fine but rather traditional.I had to request tea bags for my room.However, the room was nice and clean and the bed very comfortable.I would choose Westminster College again if coming to Cambridge.

Think I have remembered the room number correctly (it was the double room on the second floor, listed on its own on the directions sign). The bed looked like it might be a bit small for 2 but it was very comfortable and we slept very well. Appreciated being able to open the windows!

Delightful stay in a beautiful historic building. The booking staff and reception team were pleasant and helpful. The rooms were charming, with lovely period features. The breakfast was well cooked and presented in the fabulous dining hall. A perfect stay, thank you

As a solo traveller I felt very much at home in beautiful and interesting surroundings. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. I look forward to staying here again.

Excellent location and visit, a very calm and peaceful building. Helpful staff. Only comment is that the bed mattress is thin and springy, needs updating. Otherwise everything else great.

Lovely clean rooms. Would go back the next time we are in Cambridge.
