Pros:

住在剑桥大学学生宿舍是一次很难得的体验，离火车站不近，但逛大学主要的各个学院走路很近而且来去火车站的公交非常方便。包的早餐很丰盛，员工态度好，有礼貌和耐心！

Pros:

Lovely quiet area and not very far to walk to town. Friendly helpful staff in the Lodge and serving breakfast.

Cons:

The room was spacious and had tea making facilities etc, but was a little basic (no bedside tables or lamps , so lighting was a tad stark). The double bed was on the small side... But otherwise fine.

Pros:

La tranquillità delle stanze, struttura in un parco. Colazione da mensa universitaria (in effetti eravamo in un collegio universitario), 15 min dal centro a piedi

Cons:

Compatibilmente con il fatto che eravamo in un collegio universitario tutto bene. Un po' caro per la struttura
