    Comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Helpful and pleasant staff. Good location. Good value. Not noisy (even though next to a main road). Easy to get to. Ample on site parking.

    Lugging my luggage up and down the narrow staircases.

    Large room, with separate bathroom and toilet. Clean and as advertised. Bed was comfortable. This was a very old style building with lots of narrow staircases leading to all the rooms. Breakfast was old school English cooked breakfast with cerals, toast & jams available.

    Can't think of anything.

    We were going to go out to eat when a member of staff recommended the hotel food, we were not dissappointed we dined in the fabulous orangery, food was excellent and surroundings beautiful,very relaxing. Then breakfast in the restaurant both were very pleasant and the food was excellent.

    very tired, our window frame was rotten, there was no night porter and we stayed one of the hottest weekends and sadly no air on or fans provided.

    The bed was clean and comfortable and the proximity to Cambridge centre, lots of free parking.

    Ended up staying at sister hotel. Quite strange entrance as it wasn't very obvious to find. However, staff were lovely, room was comfortable (if old fashioned), and it was perfectly located. All in all we had a very pleasant stay!

    Comfortable, no-frills stay, with a good breakfast.

    We were told to check in at the sister hotel (10 minutes down the road), but after queuing at Reception for 20 minutes we were told that on this occasion we should check in directly at our own hotel. It would have been good to have been told this in advance.

    This hotel is cheaper than its sister hotel (The Arundel) because it doesn’t have 24-hour reception cover, and is slightly further out of town. But somehow this makes it seem friendlier and less pretentious. The (family) room was comfortable and the bathroom had a window (rather than being internal), which was nice. There is a large car park, which we were able to park in (for free) several hours before formally checking in.

    A portable fan would have been nice as the weather was pretty warm.

    Ashley Hotel was still not opened. We stayed at Arundel. Nice, clean room with a good view of the park across the street. Big parking space behind the hotel. Nice breakfast spread.

    Booked with Ashley hotel, was switched to Arundel hotel. Didn't realize the Ashley wasn't back in business. The Arundel was in a good location, but was certainly an older building, as it smelled musty.

    Good location for those walking and without a car. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with options of continental or English style.

    Staff were friendly, but they were very short staffed in the morning which affected our breakfast especially as we had a deadline. Ensuite bathroom was dusty in the corners.

    Good location with parking.

    If I was to be picky, the shower/bath was a bit outdated. But it worked & did the job. Also, the hairdryer needs updating. Personally I brought my own but the one in the room is ancient. I think the only thing they could do would be replaced the windows but the temperature in the hotel/room was ok, so no bother. Overall, no issues at all.

    3 friends, stayed in double+single room. Car parking at Ashley Hotel for free Reception & Check in in the Hotel. Easy check in, room spacious, a little bit dated but fully working & beds were comfy. It was perfect for us, we didn’t stay in the room much anyway. Quiet location & around 25 min walk to Town ( The very centre, Mathematical Bridge) a very nice walk. Breakfast in the morning was tasty too, a bit of continental with full English. Overall, happy with it.

    The decor is very dated like an 80's old people's home but it is nevertheless clean and comfortable. There was an old alarm clock radio in our room that needs to be taken out. It just looks so old and who would use it? There weren't even any hands on the clock!! Get rid of it.

    The staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good too. Once we'd found our bearings the town centre was only about a twenty minute, very pleasant walk across the bridge and Jesus Green. Don't be put off by the slightly shabby exterior. Inside it really is fine!! We were very pleasantly surprised.
