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.
