Simple hotel with everything needed and great location to wander into the city. Great perk that there is free parking included
1-night trip

4/10

Well located but very basic for the price: no room service, beds were not very comfortable, the water in the shower was barely a drip, no air conditioning, the painting in the walls is out in some parts of the room, no plugs in the bed... Not sure how a hole like this can Ave stars and a half...

2-night trip

4/10

No AC, bed very hard, place a bit run-down, no staff there a lot of the time. Shower was broken so had to use the one next door in a room that had not been cleaned yet. No secure place to leave luggage after checkout. Staff were pleasant and friendly and tried to be helpful with the shower situation.

Fantastic welcome and comfortable room. An ideal stopover for enjoying a gig at Cambridge junction (2 minute walk away). The food in the restaurant downstairs was delicious and service great too. Tip - swipe the room keycards really fast or they don’t work. Lovely wooden staircases (lots of them).

10/10

Great location, 15 min walk from Cambridge central station and Addenbrookes Hospital with numerous buses in between. Doesn't do breakfast but there are places nearby. Would be an improvement if a light snack box was available. A Chinese restaurant is open on site for lunch and dinner. Staff were lovely and so helpful and informative. Hotel price was very reasonable, limited hours reception with other hrs phone contact details provided.

Room was small but perfectly adaquate. Bed was clean and comfortable. Ensuite was compact but clean and well cared for. Usual facilities in room. Free wifi. Would have been nice to have a box of tissues. One of the bedside lights didnt work but had been replaced by a lamp. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Good location. Half hour walk to centre. Parking available.
