Un hôtel très bien placé à Cambridge, pile entre le centre-ville et la gare. Le prix est fort honnête pour la ville. Le confort était basique mais suffisant. Le buffet de petit déjeuner était tout à fait correct. Un seul bémol : le bâtiment n'est absolument pas insonorisé, on entend tout, donc on entend les autres clients marcher, discuter, claquer les portes... tard dans la nuit et tôt le matin. Boules quies à prévoir si vous êtes sensibles au bruit !

The hotel staff were excellent , efficient and more than helpful.

A request for a certain type of room at the last moment was accommodated .

The centre of town was within walking distance and I'm a 73 year old in reasonable health.

Quiet area.

Our stay was pleasant and we found the location perfect for walking to see the sites in Cambridge. Our only issue was that the room was not air conditioned and we happened to be there during a heat wave but that normally not be an issue I think.

Was lucky enough to get parking - which was a surprise as I had been told there was none so wasted a bit of money on a public car park for a while beforehand. Would be really nice to be able book a spot in advance.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly. Didn’t pay for the continental breakfast as wanted a full breakfast so ate elsewhere.

Room was dated. Curtains off hooks, dirty marks on carpet and window ledges dirty/ dusty. Most disappointing was the condition of the bed. Both my husband and I are a small build and lightweight and could feel the springs in the mattress. Also the bed was like sleeping on a trampoline if either one of us moved. The heating in the bathroom was permanently on so we had to sleep with the window door open . The Roman blind was also difficult to put down so gave up.
Staff at reception were acceptable but not overly helpful or friendly. A functional stay but would not return to this hotel. Not value for money.

Average stay.

Booked as a Easter break, hotel location was good for city centre, but the hotel bed was like sleeping on a wooden plank, the hot water in the shower was non existent, although we did not bother complaining.
We went for the continental breakfast at £12.50 pp and there were out of date yogurts, which we pointed out.

Upon my arrival at the hotel, I encountered a disappointing experience at the front desk. The staff member, appeared to communicate in a somewhat dismissive manner. When I inquired about the possibility of checking in early, her response was less than accommodating. After some discussion, she permitted the early check-in, but I was assigned to a room that was not properly serviced; it was unclean and lacked adequate heating, leaving it extremely cold.

Despite my efforts to adjust the heating settings, the room remained uncomfortable. When I expressed my concerns, the response I received suggested that I simply use additional blankets, which did not address my discomfort. As a result of this unsatisfactory experience, I made the decision to relocate to a different hotel that prioritizes guest comfort and cleanliness.

Furthermore, I encountered difficulties when attempting to cancel my reservation. The Expedia app malfunctioned, preventing me from finalizing the cancellation until after the applicable window had closed. Overall, this experience has been quite disappointing, and I have decided not to return to this hotel or consider any of its affiliated partners in the future. While I wish I could rate my experience lower than one star, that is the minimum rating available.
