A pleasant and relaxing stay.
Pros:

I like the bedroom and bathroom, well equipped, comfortable, quiet and everything is easy to use.
I like the restaurant, the food is very good and I like the fact that they have grilled kippers for breakfast which are cooked excellently.

Cons:

My bedroom heating didn’t work so I was given a portable electric radiator.

A dream come true! (I've wanted to stay at HDV for nearly 20 years)
Pros:

Everything! The staff were lovely and very helpful, the room was stunning (I squeaked when I walked in), the location is opposite the museum, so very central, and the bar was gorgeous. We had some delicious cocktails down there.

Cons:

Nothing at all. Couldn't find fault anywhere.

The hotel had a bit of character and ambience which
felt just right for cambridge
The staff were pleasant and polite

Cons:

My room was hard to find
It was behind a door and I had to keep asking for directions
It was also a bit hard to book
I wanted to book for two nights, and had to submit two different bookings, one night had breakfast included, the other one didn't

Disappointing. We have come to expect an excellent service from Hotel du Vin, but not in Cambridge
Pros:

The reception staff and bar staff were very friendly.

Cons:

Was lacking in the luxury we expect from Hotel du Vin. The room was in the attic which was difficult for two tall people, and the safe didn't work. The bistro was not as good as we have had in the past at Hotel du Vin - the menu has lost its god veggie/ vegan dishes. We couldn't get bar food on the Saturday (despite menus being out), and the explanation was disappointing - there was an event on. I accept events have to happen, but it shouldn't impact guests who have paid a lot to stay at a expensive luxury hotel

Not Happy
Pros:

That I was accepted very late

Cons:

The bedroom was uncomfortable ...The bed base was to big for the matress and I stubbed my tore several times (it hurt)
And the entrance floorwise
was dangerous (small step or
flat would have been better)

A great place for a one night stay.
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Overall the decor and style of the hotel is aimed at a younger crowd (we are in our 60's) - we found it a bit tacky, focussing on 'drunk after the ball' scenes.
Hard to find the room. Help with suitcases would have been appreciated. The room was awkward but comfortable.
The meal was pleasant but nothing more.
The billing was wrong and we were charged double - this was sorted out however when we pointed it out.
