One night stay

All good. We just needed somewhere to sleep for one night. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room was small but adequate, the breakfast was pleantiful and well cooked and well presented. I would use the hotel again but would wanta bigger room if staying for more than one night.

Good location, just a 5-7 min walk to the nearest bus stop. Area is quiet. Staff are friendly. The room was fairly cramped for a family when the sofa bed is out. It was also not comfortable to sleep on, could do with replacing the mattress. The bathroom has been nicely renovated but unfortunately the tap is too far from the sink and water goes everywhere.

Nice hotel, clean & comfortable. However, i booked a twin room with sofa bed for two adults. When we arrived the sofa bed wasn't made up so i spoke to the staff & we went about our day. When we returned, they'd opened the sofa bed & just draped a duvet over it with no sheets. Unimpressed with this but overall a good hotel.

I feel this hotel is dated and needs modernising. There was water leaking onto the bathroom floor in our room. The breakfast was not great. Staff seem very nice. It’s handy to get into Cambridge. You can walk along a path to get to the bus stop into the centre.
