To reach Cambridge’s historic city centre residents at the Lantern House only have a short riverside walk. Many people comment how the walk into town is very picturesque and that it is just as enjoyable as the town itself.
For people who don’t like being bothered by a bunch of staff, this is an ideal accommodation. The Lantern House features self checking in and out, and there are large parts of the day when no staff members are onsite at all. While encounters with employees are friendly, active residents may end up not encountering any people at all.
With its proximity to Cambridge’s universities and business district, this accommodation is frequented by students and professionals. To keep up with the demands of these travellers, the guest house has made it a priority that everyone remains connected by providing a fast wireless connection at no additional cost.
Individual rooms at the Lantern House are smaller than what many people expect considering the price of a stay. Single rooms especially feel cramped, and comparable options at other hotels are generally larger for the price.
The work of the cleaning staff at Lantern House leaves a lot to be desired. People often check in to their room to find trash from previous guests, as well as spider webs and grime in the private bathrooms.
Depending on which guestroom a person stays in, they may be challenged by various noises. The front of the guest house sits on a busy road, so traffic sounds are constant throughout the day. Thin walls also don’t do much to keep out the noises from other guests.
