The door lock was very sticky causing a problem in opening in the mornings when going out. The loo had poor flush, necessitating a little old fashioned manual intervention with the cistern to adjust water levels to guarantee a reasonable flush.

Weekend trip to Cambridge

On arrival confusion about the booking as booking agent had apparently not confirmed reservation. Staff were helpful in sorting it out. Easy enough to find and good central location.

Family weekend in Cambridge

Needed a place to stay for graduation weekend for my partner, my parents and my sister. We stayed in a double room and a room with a double bed and a single. Both rooms were very nice and equipped with wireless internet and en-suite bathrooms. Everything was clean. The first day, we went for the breakfast and were surprised by the large amount of food that was served. There were cereals, english breakfast, toast with jam, honey and cheese as well as fresh fruit.

Awful management

Manager was rude and abrupt with me, my partner and with other guests. Very self centred; he said we had to pick up our bags from the B&B exactly at 4.00 because he couldn't wait around all day as he 'has a life'. Would thoroughly not recommend

Nice weekend spent here

I spent the Easter long weekend at this guesthouse, travelling by myself from London to do some exploring in Cambridge for the first time. I had originally booked a private single room with shared bathroom, but when I arrived the owner was very kind and placed me in a private room with it's own ensuite. The room was pleasant, with a window overlooking the garden, the premises were very quiet and peaceful and made for a nice, relaxing weekend. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room, fresh towels each day. The location is a little bit out of the central area, but I didn't mind, as I like walking around anyway! It was exactly what I was hoping for; I got to do some exploring around the city, and was able to have a relaxing base for some downtime when my legs got tired or it started raining!

Nice guest house close to town centre

The room we got was clean and had everything we needed.The owner was very friendly and gave us some basic information upon arrival about the city. Was definitely better more than we expected for the money.

Bed but no breakfast

Hotels.com advertises this as a bed and breakfast, but breakfast is a chargeable extra. The door of the shared toilet did not shut completely. I was glad to be staying only one night.

Not Satisfied

I stayed here for a few days, and it was one of the worst hotels I have stayed in. The shower did not work, and they didn't change the sheets every day. The Owner was also a bit rude towards me. The room was homely, though, and the television worked well.

No frills but hassle free

I needed to stay in Cambridge at short notice, this place offered a room at a good price. The room and hotel are basic, I wouldn't stay here for a getaway/holiday but if you need somewhere to lay your head this place does exactly that. Very Easyjet but I had no problems during my stay, the staff were nice and the location was fine

A poor example

This is a cynical type of establishment - a small room in a badly converted 'guest house'. Cheap but you need to go into the experience with your eyes open - this really is just somewhere to get your head down. No communial areas and no breakfast. I heard arguements between hotel owner and guests, wifi was very poor and the whole set up was not up to scratch. Avoid. Cambridge city centre is 12-15 mins walk away.

Comfortable B and B close to town center

We found this hotel at the last minute(2 days before leaving for Europe!) thanks to the excellent Expedia customer service and were very happy with our stay. Room was very small but clean and comfortable. The proprietor was always helpful arranging for taxis when we needed one, although the hotel is only a 10 to 15 minute walk to the center of Cambridge.

Good Budget Guest House

We did room only. It had an en-suite, was freshly painted, beds clean and fresh towels every day. The room had coffee\tea available and television. It was within walking distance to the River Cam and centre of Cambridge. I would recommend it as a good budget guest house.

Not close to the centre of town, and poor service

It's a pretty lousy hotel, with shared washrooms, poor quality of facilities, and pretty bad service. To top it all off, they tried to double charge me. Not recommended at all.

OK.

The taxi fee is around 7 pounds from the train station to the hotel. It will take 15 minutes walk from the hotel to Cambridge. It's a safe place to stay.

Good value

The owner was very friendly and helpful; I didn't book the breakfast and he said that it was cheaper to go out for breakfast--I appreciated such honesty. The location was a bit out of the city center, but I knew that from the map and it was only a 15 minute walk to the center; easy to get to and it was not at all in a bad neighborhood.

Alpha Milton Guest House Cambridge

The guest House was very friendly but when we arrived we couldn't pay by card as the machine was broken and so had to go out and get cash. Our room was at the front on the ground floor so it was very noisy especially as the owner seemed to be running a taxi service from the house
