We were pleasantly surprised. Very friendly, exceptionally clean room, esp the bed linen. Breakfast was ceral, yogurt, croisants , muffins plus cooked english. The waitress was super friendly with great banter. Being able to park was a plus, great pub opposire, 20 minute walk to the corn exchange. The walk was very enjoyable and we crossed the river to get into the city. My husband lost the front door/ room keycard however the sister hotel The Arundel fixed , even though it was almost midnight . we will stay again. Thank you Ashley.

The room was ok, fairly spacious but dated. For some reason the breakfast was closed at 0850 so I knocked on the door. The chef then told me breakfast was over because it finishes at 0930 (it's only 0850) and then went back into the kitchen. So I had a bed but no breakfast

We had a wonderful stay at the property. Initially, I felt apprehensive after reading the negative reviews about the unattractive window corners and the old building, which turned out to be true. It's also accurate that there was no one available to assist us when we arrived before check-in, so I definitely recommend not arriving early. However, I think many of the travelers who left bad reviews may not have experienced staying in London before this property. After staying in a cramped, tiny hotel room in London with a shared bathroom, this Cambridge hotel provided us with a spacious, clean room featuring a private bathroom, large windows, and all the accesories of a three-star hotel. The included breakfast was a delightful surprise! Although the building is quite old, the breakfast dining room seemed recently renovated— it was clean and elegantly set up. With a great menu offering unlimited juice, croissants, and coffee or tea, it easily felt worth £15 in London. It was one of my best hotel breakfast experiences, and it cost almost the same as our tiny London hotel. Overall, we were very happy with our stay!

Hotel was placed within easy walking distance of the centre of Cambridge. There is free parking behind the hotel. The bedroom was clean and well furnished, very comfortable bed. The en-suite was very small, and the shower was hot and powerful. The breakfast was freshly prepared, and served in a well presented dining area.

Excellent location

Fantastic service from the two sisters, who couldn't do enough for you, at breakfast. Excellent location, close to city centre and with free carpark. The only complaint I have is on arrival I was told I had to pay £15 as I booked "through a third party, but this will be refunded straight away". Sadly this was not the case. I know it was only £15, but unhappy that I was lied to! Is this one way of management getting more money out of people? I have tried to get this refunded unsuccessfully.

Friendly staff, excellent Full English breakfast. Careless on check-in, key cards activated for only one day. We were locked out on second day, but receptionist was present and came to the door. Check your card, receptionist goes home about 10pm, panic call to their main hotel (The Arundel) would be needed.
