positive:

A Great Room for the Price.

Many guests were delighted to discover well-equipped, charming rooms for such a reasonable price. The rooms were often described as clean, quiet and comfortable, warm, pleasantly decorated, and having a shower with nice water pressure and plenty of hot water.

positive:

Ideal Location for Uni Visits.

Several guests in town to visit a family member or friend at Cambridge University chose this hotel for its wonderfully close proximity to the Colleges. With the historic city centre also just ten minutes away, this hotel makes a great location for your Cambridge visit.

positive:

A Helpful, Friendly Staff.

Several guests found the owners of this establishment to be professional, friendly , and courteous at all times. They were also described as having a keen knowledge of the area, happily providing helpful brochures for guests needing touring information.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Rumbling Tummies in the Morning.

While the hotel openly advertises operating on a room-only basis, some guests still found themselves surprised and disappointed that the first meal of the day could not be made available. Guests were happy that tea & coffee were at least provided while they considered their brekky eat-out options, with several within easy reach.

negative:

Teeny Weeny En-Suite.

Several guests found the en-suite bathrooms to be far too small, with shower cubicles so tight that it was difficult to bend down to reach shower gel. On the whole, however, visitors were willing to forgive this for the fact that the shower water pressure was so excellent.

negative:

Rooms Needing a Refresh.

Some guests were put-off by the accumulation of mould and limescale they discovered in their bathrooms, feeling this to be a clear indication that general maintenance was lacking at this hotel. Others mentioned a dated decor, with some areas feeling damp and smelling musty. Still, almost all guests, even those complaining, had to admit the hotel was clean and functional overall.
