Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Regency Guest House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the lower floors (1-2) on the back of the house (facing Regent Street) to minimize street noise. These rooms are likely to be quieter due to being farther away from the Regent Street traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the top floor (3) as they may experience more noise from the service entrance and potentially the lift, especially if it's located on the upper floors.
Best views
Unfortunately, due to the hotel's location on a relatively quiet residential street, there are no spectacular views to request. However, rooms on the back of the house (facing Regent Street) may have a view of the surrounding buildings and gardens.

Floors 1-2
🔊 Noise notes

Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to ensure parking spaces are available, as the hotel's parking is limited. Request a room with a fan if you're a light sleeper, as the hotel does not have air conditioning, and Regency Guest House is a Victorian-era building, which can be prone to heat retention.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Cambridge
💡 Go early in the morning before 9am—fewer tourists and the light hits the stonework well. Avoid sunny weekends when punters clog the path.
💡 Go on weekdays before 11am—school groups arrive later. Ask at the info desk for the free spotlights tour (Tues 1pm). Skip the temporary exhibition unless it's your thing—it costs extra.
💡 Continue to The Orchard tea garden for scones—cash only, no card. The path gets muddy after rain, so wear boots. Best from late April to September.
💡 Check the college website for free evensong services at 5:30pm on weekdays—you get in free and hear the choir. Arrive 15 minutes early.
💡 Entry is £8 but free for Cambridge residents with a library card. The best time is May-June when the irises are out. Bring a packed lunch—the café is overpriced.
