Pros:

The staff are super nice and helpful! All the facilities were decent and clean and the was a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is not very good, but for a free breakfast we didn't have high expectations anyway

Cons:

The rooms were very hot and the heating had been switched on when returning to the room even though we'd turned it off earlier. Which is very generous but it just made those attic rooms too hot. Fans were available luckily

Room and parking and location great, just a bit more verity with breakfast.
Pros:

The cooked breakfast was good. Coffee good.

Cons:

I found the steep stairs a little bit of a struggle . I managed slowly as long as I didn't carry anything.

The Breakfast was a bit limited . Some cereals. They concentrated on cooked breakfast and toast. No other choice. No croissants etc.

Quiet comfortable hotel slightly out of the town centre.
Pros:

The Centenniall is a comfortable hotel with well equipped rooms and friendly staff. It also has a free car park which is an asset in Cambridge - it is also close to the train station.

Cons:

The breakfast was average and the dining room staff a bit disorganised. The hotel is slightly out of the town centre (tradeoff with the free parking) so there is a 15-20 minute walk.
