Addenbrooke's and the Rosie regularly survey patients to find out what they think about their treatment.
The most recent results show that 96% of patients felt the hospitals met or exceeded their expectations.
Large numbers said that staff were kind and caring, and that they had time to ask questions and discuss their care with their doctor.
In addition, the most recent Care Quality Commission survey of inpatients at Addenbrooke's showed good results in a number of categories, with doctors and nurses receiving average scores of 8.7 out of 10 and 8.2 out of 10 respectively.
Patients were pleased with the clear information they were given both before and after their treatment, and felt that they had confidence and trust in the staff looking after them. Nationally, the hospital was in the top 20% of trusts for providing single sex sleeping areas.
Fraser Rogers, Head of Public Engagement, said: "The results of surveys like these are very important to us, and we encourage people to tell us what they think.
"Regular research into patients' experiences is invaluable in making Addenbrooke's and the Rosie better for everyone who uses our services.
"Our next survey begins this month -- and we welcome all feedback."
