The hotel should provide alternate directions to get to the hotel when the road leading to it is closed. A journey that should have been 16 minutes took us 90 minutes trying to find another way to get there. We were not familiar with the area and the satnav just kept taking us back to the closed road and the diversion signs suddenly stopped part way. Nobody answered the telephone when we called the hotel. Did not put us in a good frame of mind about the hotel.

Good stay

It was very nice place. Walking distance from Cambridge city. Maybe too far for the people who wants to see the centre, but it was worth the money and breakfast included.

Hospital stay

My wife went into Addenbrooks for brain surgery and wanted me to be nearby. Although this wasn’t the cheapest hotel it was in fairly easy walking distance to the hospital. When I got there the receptionist asked what my stay was for and I told her she waved the parking fee and also told me that they do a special rate for people staying and going to the hospital. My room was very comfortable and the air conditioning came in very handy as it was so hot that week. The free breakfast was amazing and plentiful. I really enjoyed my stay although the circumstances could have been different. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you again.
