Great stay in Cambridge
Pros:

I had a great time here! The room was big enough to be comfortable but without waiting space. There were several drawers and a nice closet. There was a good sitting and working desk with enough plugs around. The shower/toilet space was good and well equipped. The included breakfast was great, very good and tasty food that felt of good quality! I will return for sure if in Cambridge :)

Cons:

The bed and pillow were not very confortable, but nothing grave. If the room would have had a mini fridge it would have been perfect!

It was a pleasant day and night with good food and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were always willing to help
Pros:

It was comfortable and quiet and I was able to get a good nights sleep. The washing arrangements were good and all in working order

Cons:

This is not a hotel so one must be realistic. The student who usually occupies this room during term had done a good job in getting the room ready for guests

Good entry to Cambridge
Pros:

Walking distance to the centre along leafy streets and past the Uni library. Parking available in nearby street. The room was large and clean, but in a different building than the very lovely red brick main building.

value for money stay!
Pros:

Stayed with a group of old friends. Reliving our student days. Clean and pleasant room, very helpful staff and generous breakfast.

Cons:

It’s set away from the centre of town so be prepared to walk, cycle or drive.
