The Ashley is good value for money, as such I was bordering on giving it an “excellent” rating, but it’s beginning to look very slightly tired in places. However don’t take this comment as a major criticism, it’s clean, it’s very close to town with a short walk over the footbridge and Jesus Green. We’ve been using the Ashley and its sister hotel The Arundel for 35 years during our jaunts to Cambridge and happy to continue doing so. A major plus at the Ashley is free parking and they’re thankfully flexible if you want to make the best of your last morning by leaving the car a short time after checking out.

The room was very clean with a comfortable bed and the breakfast was excellent. There was only one member of staff, Jan, who served breakfast and cleaned the rooms. She was very friendly and helpful. Loads of room for free parking. The only negative was that we were in a ground floor room and we could not open the windows! It was 33 degrees outside and was so hot in the room. Jan did bring us a fan that helped slightly. She explained that people were going out and leaving the windows open. So if you are going to book, then ask for an upstairs room.

The walk was very enjoyable and we crossed the river to get into the city.

We had a wonderful stay at the property. Initially, I felt apprehensive after reading the negative reviews about the unattractive window corners and the old building, which turned out to be true. It's also accurate that there was no one available to assist us when we arrived before check-in, so I definitely recommend not arriving early.

However, I think many of the travelers who left bad reviews may not have experienced staying in London before this property. After staying in a cramped, tiny hotel room in London with a shared bathroom, this Cambridge hotel provided us with a spacious, clean room featuring a private bathroom, large windows, and all the accesories of a three-star hotel.

The included breakfast was a delightful surprise! Although the building is quite old, the breakfast dining room seemed recently renovated— it was clean and elegantly set up. With a great menu offering unlimited juice, croissants, and coffee or tea, it easily felt worth £15 in London. It was one of my best hotel breakfast experiences, and it cost almost the same as our tiny London hotel. Overall, we were very happy with our stay!

Fantastic service from the two sisters, who couldn't do enough for you, at breakfast.
Excellent location, close to city centre and with free carpark.
The only complaint I have is on arrival I was told I had to pay £15 as I booked \"through a third party, but this will be refunded straight away\". Sadly this was not the case. I know it was only £15, but unhappy that I was lied to! Is this one way of management getting more money out of people? I have tried to get this refunded unsuccessfully.

We reserved a two night “non-refundable” stay here in July 2025. After checking in to room 9, we discovered: 1) the toilet wouldn’t flush, 2) the shower drain was clogged and pooled up, and 3) one of the sink’s faucet handles just fell off. After calling the front desk and asking for a different room or repairs to these issues, we were told that they couldn’t help us. After only 2 hours, we decided it was not an acceptable room for our family of 3, booked a new hotel, and checked out. Even though the Hotel Manager agreed that the room state was unacceptable, this property will not refund us for our stay, claiming it was a “non-refundable” booking. They failed to provide the facilities we paid for, yet still charged us even though we didn’t stay there. This establishment severely lacks integrity.

A great base to stay to explore Cambridge from

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Ashley Hotel. Although externally and to a degree internally it is a little tired and dated, our room was clean, the bed comfy and the shower excellent with plenty of hot water. The full english breakfast was a treat to look forward to and the serving staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Parking within the grounds was plentiful and free and the walk into central Cambridge only took 15 minutes via pleasant parkland paths. All in all a great place to stay if visiting Cambridge.

Average at best, not the worst.

Well, it's one of them ok-ish reviews for the reasonable cost of the stay, here are the main points to be aware of/be happy about:
Free parking, always good and in walking distance to town via the waters edge, a nice stroll.
A nice pub opposite for a drink and a full menu if required, quite pricey but nice.
The building and it's decor is tired at best.
The cleanliness is below average, the shower area isn't great shall we say!
The shower water was powerful and hot and the radiators did a good job on a cold day/night.
The bed was clean sheeted and comfortable.
Whichever staff member came into the building at 6am-ish and announced at the top of his voice 'Morning' to another staff member, clearly doesn't care about waking up the patrons on that same floor, very inconsiderate!
In my mind that was the person in the kitchen who was funny about the breakfast! (See below, I could be mistaken).
The breakfast is fine but they are tight on what you can have, for example, if you pass on the bacon and ask for both scrambled AND a fried egg, forget it!
Seems to me that if you're at least a couple, say yes to everything you need in total and swap between yourselves, save the awkwardness!
The young waiter and lady were nice and friendly at breakfast though.
So, it's one of them, you kinda get what you pay for but would prefer you paid a bit more!
Hope this honest review helps you consider if a stay here is for you or maybe not.

Pretty poor experience.

The only thing that saved it from 1 star was friendly team of housekeepers who did what they could and a good breakfast.

The hotel is owned and managed by Arundel house down the road and is due to be redeveloped and it shows . Highlights include being put in the top floor and being refused a move when we had a baby despite there being ground floor rooms available, a TV that didn't get signal for the majority of the channels, the overhead shower didn't work because of low water pressure, a management team that is only on premise 1pm-9pm in theory but they closed the reception early when I went to use them, a refusal for change the mugs in our room for clean ones during a 3 night stay. And pre check-in the reception team don't respond to messages in that hotel.com app (except from an attempt to charge 18gbp a day for parking when it's listed as free)

There was no front desk reception at the Ashley Inn and we did not receive and email with instructions where to collect our keys until the next morning. Fortunately, there was a speaker system, but it was terribly difficult to understand due to the static.

The beds were acceptable and the space was adequate. Unfortunately, the toilet did not flush properly so we had to pour water into the bowl and force a flush.

great location & breakfast, average accommodation

Limited registration hours although you can communicate with its sister hotel Arundel House through the doorbell. No concierge, no baggage storage; no lifts and narrow stairways. It looks like it is being updated, but room 4 was dated (although furnishings in good condition) and clean (but the tiny shower stall needs a deep cleaning). Free parking, although I’m not sure if there is enough for everyone if the house is full. Like any old house, lots of creaking sounds from other guests. Great location for walking through Cambridge - close to several nice pubs. Breakfast was outstanding with great service from the staff - pretty much a fully cooked hot English breakfast plus extras like yogurt.

Good location, parking, easy walk to Cambridge

The hotel is in a good location, easy walk into Cambridge. Good parking. We were in room 3 and yes, you can hear the front door closing so maybe a quiet closing mechanism on the door would be useful but also other guests being considerate if coming in late at night/early morning would be nice! The room needed a little updating and a hoover and maybe soundproofing but we slept well. Breakfast was good, the staff were lovely. We were asked at breakfast if we wanted our room serviced as it stated in the room that due to staff shortages this couldn’t be guaranteed.
A planned extension is advertised outside the hotel, hopefully they’ll have more staff if this goes ahead to have a full time reception and cleaning team.

Ok for the money. Free parking

Was ideal for short stay in Cambridge. Booked for graduation stay. Had to collect key from another hotel which was a drive away so not very convenient.
Room was very hot no air conditioning or fan and noisy road if windows opened.
Good to have separate toilet and bathroom in our family room. Good car parking. Difficult to navigate once inside. Great breakfast.

Not sure

We were placed in room 3 which is upstairs near the door. It was not dusted and all surfaces were dirty including the kitchen phone, the tea sets and the bathroom sink. The room is very noisy as people go in and out of the hotel slamming the front door and speaking loudly even at 2am. The positives are the parking and the location near the park and walking into town. If there’s a way of asking for a refund, we would have.. A relaxing weekend away was ruined for us!

1 No reception 24hrs so limited support provided
2. Due to pt.1, service was not good. Missing face aand bath towels. When called their reception (which is in the other Group hotel nearby), the support staff refuse to provide it in the evening time. Jad to wait till next morning for it.
3.Breakfast was with good options
and good breakfast staff.
4.Room 4 is not well planned, TV on the side wall not opposite to the bed.
5 They too refundable deposit but never explained the purpose of it..bit weired for good hotels to do it.

Check in went smoothly with a lovely Iranian lady, she was very kind and helpful!
The double room we were given was a good size with tea and coffee making facilities, and it overlooked the river and park, the room was warm and everything was clean, the bed was comfy, so no complaints about the room at all.
All staff was lovely, polite and helpful!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Arundel House Hotel and will no doubt be returning!!!

The hotel is perfectly serviceable, but there is little that is modern or special (and this is reflected in the price). Reception and breakfast staff were lovely, but reception is only open between 3 and 9pm. Soundproofing between rooms is poor. It's a lovely walk along the river into the centre of the city.

The ladies serving breakfast were lovely and friendly.
The beds were very comfortable and the room well kept.
The hotel is in a good position for walking into the city centre and has good parking.
A choice of tea and coffee instead of a ready made pot for breakfast would have been better, but this is a minor issue.
Meals at the pub across the road are good.

Poor room allocation

The room itself was comfortable and spacious, all amenities present, the breakfast staff welcoming. But, a school group was present in the hotel and staying above us. They had very loud gatherings in the room above both nights until late, and as such sleep was evasive. At one point I had to go to the room and ask them to stop because there was no receptionist to ask for assistance at this hour.

Cambridge holiday

Stayed 5 nights and made to feel at home by the 3 ladies who looked after us. Had a large room with a bay window overlooking gardens which was great. Perfect spot 20 minute walk through parks from Cambridge city centre

The room was good and has everything you need for a short stay, if maybe a bit dated. One challenge is that I could hear every footstep from the room above. The room was tidy but things such as the cups and kettle had dust on them and there was some hair left for me in the shower. One thing I will say was that the staff at breakfast were great and couldn't do enough for you. Overall, a good short stop in Cambridge.

Staff friendly.. on-suite a bit cosy, needed some tlc.. didn't feel I could use the shower ( a bit grubby).. other than that the rest was ok.. breakfast was good.
We could hear people coming in at night, and in the rooms either side and above..
