About The Hobson Cambridge

Hotel overview

The Hobson Cambridge by Adina is far more than just an apartment hotel — it’s a destination with distinctive charm and history. Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian heritage building that once served as a police station, this elegant hideaway spans three floors and features 56 contemporary studio apartments. Each studio is thoughtfully designed with a kitchenette including a fridge, microwave and kettle, alongside a spacious open-plan living and sleeping area, complete with premium amenities for a comfortable and convenient stay — ideal for both city getaways and business travellers.

Many of the building’s original architectural elements have been preserved, such as its striking façade and the grand staircase framed by soaring ornamental windows — details that add a unique sense of character and heritage. At the heart of the building, the former drill yard has been reimagined as a bright, inviting courtyard where guests can enjoy a generous breakfast buffet each morning or unwind in the evening with drinks and light bites at the on-site restaurant.

Perfectly positioned in central Cambridge, The Hobson offers effortless access to the city’s vibrant culture and history. The Regent Street bus stop is directly opposite, and Cambridge Railway Station — with convenient links to London City Airport — is just a mile away. Guests can stroll to nearby attractions like Parkers Piece, the historic market square, and the lively cafés, pubs and boutiques scattered throughout the city centre. Prestigious University of Cambridge colleges, including King’s, Trinity and St Catharine’s, are all within easy reach.

A harmonious blend of heritage elegance and contemporary comfort, The Hobson Cambridge by Adina offers a serene urban retreat infused with the spirit of this iconic university city.
