We’re thrilled to share that St Catharine’s College, one of our featured locations, has been recognised for its exceptional guest experience! The College recently won Best Overall Customer Experience in the Overnight Accommodation Category at the 2024 Mystery Shop Awards, organised by the Cambridge Business Improvement District (BID).
The award reflects St Catharine’s stays in its historic and beautifully upgraded accommodation. Over the past few years, the College has invested over £30 million into enhancing its facilities, prioritising accessibility and sustainability, making it a fantastic choice for visitors to Cambridge.

One mystery shopper, who played a key role in the award process, praised the team for their helpful and cheerful service:
“All the staff that I came into contact with were helpful and friendly. Everyone seemed to be smiling, and they made good eye contact. If I asked for information, such as directions to somewhere, they were able to give it accurately and quickly. The porter in the Porters’ Lodge was happy and friendly when I arrived and again when I left. They wished me a safe journey home and invited me to return.”
