Above and beyond our expectations.
Pros:

Staff were great, parking was perfect, hotel was clean, fresh and comfortable generally.
Wish we'd made use of the bar area but it was a short visit for a dinner outing.
Particularly appreciated being contacted when I'd left something behind - and the no fuss offer to post or collect. Faultless - thank you!

Cons:

More coffee options at breakfast would be nice but not a deal breaker.

It's okay.
Pros:

The location was quite nice

Cons:

There was nothing really wrong, it was fine. But for the price we paid, I had a lot higher expectation, which lead to dissapointment.

Pros:

Savage location, 5 min walk from train station and you are a walk away from just about everywhere else. The little bar downstairs was adorable and the bar staff were very friendly. Brekki was yummy too

Pros:

Nice people, standard English breakfast, location is 15 mins walk from town centre which is fine. There is also a bus stop outside reaching the Cambridge west site.

Cons:

Note that the stairs to the attic room are very narrow, not easy to climb with suitcases, though this was not a big issue for us.

Nice location for a Cambridge visit.
Pros:

Location was perfect to go into the City Center.
Rooms where basic but did every this we wanted and the bed was comfy. Watch your head if you get a attic room !!Breakfast was nice but small portions and could have been hotter.For the money it was well worth it and would stay again.

Cons:

Attic rooms ceiling !!

Très bien pour un court séjour
Pros:

Hôtel très agréable près de la gare et proche du centre de Cambridge à pied. Accueil très sympathique. Belle chambre et salle de bain, bien équipée. Un fer à repasser dans la chambre très utile! Bon petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner doit être pris avant 9h en semaine, avant 9h30 le week-end, ce n'est pas adapté à des personnes en vacances.
Il faudrait du "vrai" beurre au petit-déjeuner plutôt que cet espèce de "spread" immangeable.

Perfect location, lovely staff!
Pros:

Hotel was clean and staff couldn’t do more for you, perfectly located away from the main town but close enough to walk in and still enjoy all that Cambridge has to offer
Breakfast was just right! Plenty of choice

Cons:

Only draw back was the lack of USB plugs in the rooms. Lack of planning on my Behalf but managed to over come it. And didnt spoil our stay.
