The Cambridge Hotel is a newly restored heritage building popular for its central location, sympathetically restored décor and hard-to-match prices. With both a hotel and a backpackers’ wing, it provides quality accommodation for all budgets. The hotel bar has the traditional feel of an old Kiwi bar with modern facilities, and the bistro serves up delicious, reasonably priced meals. Within walking distance are three cinema complexes, countless bars and restaurants, main bus routes, a supermarket and Te Papa Tongarewa (our museum). Breakfast available from only $2.

Reception hours: 24 hours. Price: Double en suite rooms from $105 (breakfast inclusive).
