The hotel was very nice and the room was a good size and clean. The breakfast was a bit disappointing, the food was fairly average and the team seemed understaffed so tables weren’t cleared or set properly and we had to get our own cutlery off another table. And also the coffee machine wasn’t working.

Room was nice Breakfast was very disappointing. Arrived 2 hour’s before breakfast was due to finish but all tables were full of dirty plates. The buffet food was almost empty and was not replenished. The hot food arrived warm at best. It was a real shame and not what we expected. Worst breakfast I’ve had at a hotel in a long time.

Very pleasant stay. All staff were very friendly, polite and helpful throughout our stay. Room was quite small but perfectly comfortable for the one night. We ate dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed the food and relaxing ambience. There was a jazz singer and piano which made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Breakfast was decent, although there were some issues with the coffee machine. The dining staff did sort it out promptly when told. Good selection of continental , croissants, pain au chocolat, cereals , fresh fruits, yogurt, toast , cold neats abd cheeses with some tasty hot choices too. Husband chose the full english and I had the vegetarian option. Once again the service was impeccable. I would ve more than happy to stay here again if visiting Cambridge as its such a short walking distance to the centre with parking.

Room 3 is on the ground floor. The window is out onto the carpark. It is close to the bar and restaurant. It means there is noise of music and plates. It feels hemmed in and lacking in privacy, it’s a shame in an otherwise beautiful hotel.
