    Nothing was disliked. It might have been nice to have a bar (my husbands comment) Not something that would put me off another visit.

    It was easy to find, clean and comfortable. Our room had a newly decorated ensuite which was great. Easy to operate shower. We were at the back of the hotel so very quiet therefore good sleep.

    There was nothing I didn't like, and I was fine as I have good mobility, however, there are a lot of stairs to deal with so might be a consideration for some people. Didn't notice if there was a lift.

    My room was comfortable and compact (single room) - clean and sufficient for my needs. Chose to have breakfast at the hotel - very reasonably priced and selection of food was good. Location was perfect for the City Centre, Train Station and Corn Exchange which was the purpose of our visit.

    Good value for Cambridge, however...

    Cambridge, like so many other university towns (see how much a room is in St Andrew's, for example), is expensive to stay in. So in relative terms, it was good value. The room was a (very) small single, bordering on the claustrophobic. For example, the bathroom door couldn't open completely because of the location of the bed.

    Although the room was small, it had everything the weary traveller needed. The shower was excellent. In terms of location, anyone who knows Cambridge will know just how far the railway station is from the town centre. The hotel is conveniently located about halfway between the two.

    The only negative is the towels aren’t big enough. I get this in most places I stay but as a larger lady I need a bigger towel

    The location was excellent, the rooms were really nice. It was lovely and clean . Great price for a 3 star hotel

    You can hear noise from other adjacent bathrooms but it's not a problem if you use ear plugs.

    Good location, good value for money, good staff
    • Business trip

    The hotel is in an historic house, which meant that everything is small and creaky. In the morning, you hear the floorboards creaking as other travellers descend for breakfast. My room was also designed for someone smaller than 6ft - there was barely enough space between bath and toilet (perhaps just a shower would be sufficient), and I am surprised I did not bump my head using the staircase down to reception.

    The Hotel is in a great location between the station, city centre and colleges. The staff were super friendly and the whole hotel was very clean. The optional breakfast was unspectacular, but worth the price (I paid £7 in 2024). The room was clean and generally comfortable. Perfect for short/business stays.

    Breakfast - disappointing - a poor English idea of a continental spread - just 2 sorts of ham one of sliced cheese, plus a few gherkins and olives - cold hard boiled eggs - yesterday's bread reheated. Individual cups of tea by self-service and tea-bags.

    Booking worked well, I was expected and very quickly registered. Bed fine, though too many cushions.

    The mattress on the bed was very soft and the bed was on wheels and was moving around too easily on the floor boards. However, I understand that there are people who prefer the softer and bouncy mattresses. The breakfast was simple but was perfectly OK for the price.

    Excellent location, clean room and bathroom, very nice staff.

    The only window in my bedroom was firmly locked with a sign indicating it could never be opened. The room was stuffy and the air conditioning made for a noisy night! Genuine fresh air should be accessible to all.

    My request for a quiet room, for a small additional charge, was successful. My room was situated at the rear of the hotel on the first floor nicely away from the street. The breakfast was plentiful and staff very helpful.
