    Immersed in history, spectacular views, warm, comfortable accommodation in the heart of Cambridge
    • Business trip

    Nothing. Ok, some travelers might not wish to share a bathroom, but here is what I experienced - super clean, shower room and several toilets a mere moment from my room. I used to be that traveler - I did not want to share the bathroom - blah, blah, blah. However, I traveled around Iceland and could only afford to stay at hostels, so I soon realised it is not a big deal to share. So if you are like me, then think again! I am in my 60s and honestly it was absolutely fine to share!!

    This is an exceptional opportunity for those who have never visited a Cambridge College to live like a student for a few days and to be immersed in the long and noble history of Jesus College. I went to University in the "other place" - however, if you do not mind sharing a bathroom then this is an ideal location, with fantastic breakfast, super friendly staff and dining in the most amazing hall. You can just feel the presence of those who have gone before us in this place. Outstanding!

    It was sometimes difficult to find my way around, but the porters were very helpful.

    This isn't just a place to stay, but an experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the shower excellent, the breakfast very good, but that doesn't describe the most interesting parts about staying here. You are in one of the most interesting Cambridge colleges, and have free range to explore whilst you are staying, including times and places which are usually off limits to tourists. I particularly enjoyed the Chapel with the stained glass windows by William Morris, and breakfast in the Great Hall.

    Great room, fantastic breakfast and lovely interesting buildings and surroundings. Working at a private college for 23 years, Ratcliffe college Leicestershire which dates from 1847 it was interesting to experience a college that dates back even further but based on a familiar theme.

    Very little not to like. Our room was Apartment 3 which is a one bed mini apartment with its own lounge/kitchenette all extremely well appointed. But it was on street side of the block which meant that it didnt face inwards to the college grounds as some other rooms do. Nevertheless the views were pretty across to other green gardens on the other side of the street.

    Fantastic to stay in the grounds of beautiful college. Accommodation was very modern, eco, comfortable. Breakfast in Main Hall was very good. Location superb

    Need more signage to show where breakfast is served, it's a bit of a walk but worth it when you get there.

    A very bright clean and modern building with lovely views over the gardens across the road. The staff at the reception were very helpful and informative. It's good that you can walk around the whole college grounds whilst staying there. The breakfast was very nice.

    The fact that I was not aware/had not realised the bathrooms were to be shared. But there were several of them on the floor and all were very clean so it went well in the end.

    The hotel is nested in Jesus college historical buildings and parks and is worth booking just for that.

    Had I read the literature, this would not have been a problem, but took me a minute to figure out that I needed to put my key in the device on the wall to activate the lights & switches in my room.

    Can't say enough about the staff. Every single one from reception, to breakfast attendant, to housekeeping was amazing - friendly, kind, helpful, and efficient. Luggage storage option was great. Location is fantastic. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, grocery store, and sites. Great breakfast. Grounds are beautiful. I enjoyed the sculpture walk.
