People were great! Room uncomfortable

The people were very professional and friendly. The room was disappointing. No wash cloths or hand towels. No facial tissues. The sheets were scratchy and the pillow was uncomfortable. We enjoyed the restaurant.

Hotel reception, cafe and bar are great. Would be nice to have a bit more room as it was full when large groups were there. Good to be able to get drinks and snacks late into the evening. Food was very good quality. The area around the hotel has lots of food shops and outlets. Restaurants etc were only a short walk away. Central Cambridge is a 25 minute walk but a straightforward route. All staff were friendly and very helpful. One lift was out of service so had to use the stairs a few times. Not always easy to go up 5 floors! Didn’t use the buffet breakfast but would have liked to be able to use the space during the day to chill out. Our room was basic but a reasonable size for a budget hotel. I don’t like the ‘pod’ style bathrooms as everything is very plasticky and the shower lacked power but it was functional. The mattress was awful and had a thick topper added which had also seen better days. 3 nights of bad sleep wasn’t great. Please change the mattress in room 512. It would also have been useful to add a small fridge in the room. On the whole it was a good place to stay for visiting Cambridge.

The only problem I had was the step into the bathroom - I am elderly and it was a potential trip hazard. Also could you quote the price including the tax rather than adding it at the end? it was a bit of a shock.

The room was exactly as pictured. The room is definitely small but worked for 2 people. The location next to the train station is super convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful.
