15 minute's walk from the town centre, this old hotel is the kind of budget place a backpacker would enjoy. Most of the amenities are dated, there is certainly no air conditioning (so be wary of that in Summer), and the bathroom is incredibly tiny, so much so that the basin is actually outside the bathroom in the main room. That being said, we had the family room, which had two single beds and a double, so our room was actually really large. You wouldn't get much privacy from whoever you're sharing the room with though, so make sure your well acquainted, as you can't dry off in the bathroom after a shower because of the lack of space and it is rather uncomfortable sitting on the toilet with the door closed given it's literally inches from your face. Consider this like renting a room in someone else's house but with your own private bathroom.

Tired looking bnb.
Room very tired looking. Vinyl flooring felt a bit sticky underfoot. Cobwebs to both corners of the windows. Kettle water not emptied before arrival. Tv remote had lots of ingrained dirt & I cleaned it thoroughly myself before using Shower ok but rain shower attachment dripped pink algae blobs due to not being cleaned properly. Bed mattress very soft but comfortable. Headboard very stained. Room was quiet. Did not stay for breakfast. Being Cambridge you pay for what you get I suppose.
