Lovely choice for exploring Cambridge
Pros:

Staff at reception were lovely and welcoming and really helpful upon arrival. Facilities were great for what we paid for and location was ideal for traveling with a baby- walking distance Cambridge central mosque and car park at hotel makes this easier to do.

Cons:

Bathroom looked like it had just been used before we checked in, may have been a mistake but was left not flushed with tissue in there and one of the pillow cases had a small orange stain on them

Pros:

Posizione ottima per chi arriva in auto. Il centro (prevalentemente pedonale) si può raggiungere comodamente a piedi in 30 minuti. Il parcheggio dispone di molti posti, ed è proposto a un prezzo scontato di 6 £ al giorno. Lungo il percorso verso il centro ci sono molti ristoranti, piccoli supermercati e negozi. La colazione è buona e abbondante.

Perfect for Cambridge stay with good connections
Pros:

Excellent location just outside of centre but well connected with bus routes, or just 20 minute walk into town. Clean, well-maintained rooms and facilities and friendly staff. Good pricing with breakfast included. Can't fault it.

Cons:

All good
