    The location was ideal for the business trip that I undertook. I booked a studio apartment which was essentially the kitchen and breakfast room of a terraced house. While 'compact' living was the order of the day, everything was spotlessly clean and well presented. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped.

It is easy distance from the park and ride, which makes transportation into town easy and much cheaper than parking.

    Ideal to be honest. Location was great. Plenty of things to do in the immediate area if you're having a stop over/flying visit and ideal if you're wanting to explore Cambridge. The room was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was perfect. You have what you need to self cater if you wanted to. It was nice and quiet too. I liked that they had a quiet time from 10pm. I felt safe as a female traveller. I would definitely recommend.

    We arrived early and was able to access our room early which was so helpful. All the staff we dealt with were incredibly helpful and lovely. The place was very clean, great location and had some luxury touches which weren't expected as it was such great value for the location. The mattresses were very soft, which isn't a personal preference, but didn't impact the stay and I will absolutely be booking again
