Quick trip to Cambridge, last minute add to itinerary. Read the reviews on this hotel, absolutely did not disappoint. Truly easy to navigate, beds super comfortable and very close to national railway without being loud/crowded. Super clean, classy, very nice. Recommend for certain.

Fabulous Cambridge Hotel

Truly a fabulous hotel in Cambridge a short walk from the train station. I had the most comfortable sleep I've had in a very long time. My room was truly fabulous along with the bed. A must for every time I stay in Cambridge. The breakfast service came with Porridge and as is top of my list a pot of real (super) coffee on request. I will be back!
