Great place to enjoy a visit to historic Cambridge.
Pros:

Central location, access to the historic & beautiful College grounds & facilities. Spacious & well appointed rooms, helpful reception staff, good buffet breakfast.

Cons:

Unfortunately our apartment, which included a balcony, was situated facing a surprisingly busy road used by buses, trucks and motorcycles during the day & evening and from soon after 6 am- and thus was quite noisy. Despite this - we would stay again, - the pros outweigh the single con.

Si tuviera que dar una crítica sería que eche de menos un secador.
