The staff at the Lensfield are very friendly (apologies again for losing the room key! it must be in there somewhere) and the room was spotless. Excellent restaurants are close by. I would always stay here when in Cambridge.

Really well positioned. Quite small rooms and fiddly corridors, but this is reflected in the price (versus location). Staff were very friendly. Didn't try the breakfasts.

Arrived before the stated check-in time but the room was ready so got checked in easily. No additional charge unlike some of the chain hotels. Room was as described and perfectly equipped for my needs. 3 times the amount of tea and coffee compared with the chain hotels. Again excellent value. Didn't require breakfast but was available.

The shower temperature was at best, tepid. Haven't ever experienced this in a hotel with a 3 star AA rated hotel. A big disappointment ! Not a very nice guy on Reception last night; he preferred chatting to someone who wasn't a resident than check me in. Again, disappointing. As a lone female, I won't be back, sadly.
