Pool

The pool at Graduate Cambridge offers a great start to the day with a lovely riverside view. It's a small but perfectly formed pool and although the gal at the desk could be moody at times, the leisure facilities are great, including a small gym, sauna and steam room. However, the pool and jacuzzi were both pretty cold and the pool room ceiling cleanliness could be improved. Guests also noted that the number of visitors is limited and there is a waiting list when the pool is full. The health club was good, but the leisure suite wasn't clearly indicated. Despite this, the swimming pool and hot tub were both excellent options for both parents and kids to enjoy with the latter being a bit busy on Sunday afternoons. Facilities such as a water dispenser near the pool/sauna were lacking and guests also complained about the number of floating hairs in the swimming pool. Regardless, the pool and gym were a great bonus and guests loved being able to use the pool area in the morning.

Family

Guests have mixed opinions on the kid-friendly activities at Graduate Cambridge. Some mentioned that the staff was very accommodating to their baby, but others had negative experiences. One guest was disappointed that the pool was closed to kids after 6 pm and another was frustrated that the hotel didn't fulfill their request for a bike for their daughter. Some guests also found the family room to be too small for four guests and had trouble sleeping due to the size of the beds. However, the hotel's convenient location and plenty of parking make it a great spot for family gatherings. Those who tried the hotel breakfast seemed to enjoy it and the staff was overall very friendly. However, guests suggest that the hotel should be mindful of disturbing paying guests with private functions.
