The room was ok, fairly spacious but dated. For some reason the breakfast was closed at 0850 so I knocked on the door. The chef then told me breakfast was over because it finishes at 0930 (it's only 0850) and then went back into the kitchen. So I had a bed but no breakfast

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!

Hotel was placed within easy walking distance of the centre of Cambridge. There is free parking behind the hotel. The bedroom was clean and well furnished, very comfortable bed. The en-suite was very small, and the shower was hot and powerful. The breakfast was freshly prepared, and served in a well presented dining area.

Excellent location

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.

Friendly staff, excellent Full English breakfast. Careless on check-in, key cards activated for only one day. We were locked out on second day, but receptionist was present and came to the door. Check your card, receptionist goes home about 10pm, panic call to their main hotel (The Arundel) would be needed.

The only thing I liked were the sheets and towels were clean. I don’t mind it being old and needing an update but dirty is another thing. When arriving I was shocked at the outside condition. Then you cannot get in until 3 as the hotel is locked with no receptionist. The breakfast was ok but felt sorry for the waitresses as so busy and obviously under staffed. Would never stay here again

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.
