Even with the few issues mentioned, it was still a lovely place and well situated to see Cambridge. Breakfast in the ma
Pros:

It was a very impressive venue - beautiful buildings

Cons:

We stayed on what must have been one of the hottest days so far this year - no air conditioning or fans provided which made for an uncomfortable night. Whilst I realise this is on the college campus, the signage for the hotel area could be better for guests

Would love to stay again
Pros:

Loved being able to walk around the college before breakfast. What a lovely location. And it was special being able to eat in the dining hall. The staff were fantastic. The room was very comfortable indeed.

Cons:

The only (slight) negative was the location of the toilet roll holder, and that there was only one chair.

Pros:

The location, the building, and the overall atmosphere were exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the peaceful morning walk through the beautiful gardens on the way to breakfast. The breakfast itself was good and the setting where it was served made the experience even more special. A truly relaxing and memorable stay.

Cons:

The only downside was that the overall price of the stay felt a little high.

First Class!!!
Pros:

The location suited us for convenience to the town and other colleges. The gardens and artworks were truly amazing. Breakfast was first class and the coffee shop was useful. I shall certainly stay again in the future with family and for work.

Cons:

The lack of a fan or air conditioning in the recent hot weather was a little uncomfortable but all else was faultless.

Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft! Super schön, zentral gelegen.
Pros:

Die historischen Gebäude, der Innenhof und der Park des Colleges sind wirklich unglaublich schön!!!! Unser Zimmer im modernen Anbau hat uns extrem gut gefallen. Blick auf den Park und die alten Bäume. Alles war sehr hübsch und endlich mal nicht typisch Englisch eingerichtet sondern schlicht und hochwertig. Preis-Leistung war tip top. Das einfache Frühstück im großen Saal hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Cons:

Leider hat die Klimaanlage nicht funktioniert und es war sehr heiß im Zimmer. Die Kissen sind VIEL zu dick und prall, sehr unbequem. Das Frühstück war gut, alles war prima aber der Porridge war alles andere als lecker. Schade. Aber das ist nur eine Kleinigkeit.

Pros:

A really special place to stay in one of the most historic buildings in the UK.
Superb buffet breakfast served in the main ( spectacular) hall.
Guests are free to explore the extensive and beautiful grounds of the college which is right in the centre of Cambridge.
