Nice hotel, clean & comfortable. However, i booked a twin room with sofa bed for two adults. When we arrived the sofa bed wasn't made up so i spoke to the staff & we went about our day. When we returned, they'd opened the sofa bed & just draped a duvet over it with no sheets. Unimpressed with this but overall a good hotel.

The stay was excellent. The biggest fault with this property was the overnight parking if it wasn’t for the staff the stay would have been a disaster it was stressful enough as it was.

I feel this hotel is dated and needs modernising. There was water leaking onto the bathroom floor in our room. The breakfast was not great. Staff seem very nice. It’s handy to get into Cambridge. You can walk along a path to get to the bus stop into the centre.

A perfect welcome to Cambridge

I was really impressed with this hotel. We received a perfect welcome and Candice who welcomed us was brilliant and so knowledgable about the local area. The food served here was amazing. The breakfast buffet was always well stocked and fresh. I genuinely don't have anything bad to say about it.
