What a lovely surprise finding this high quality and bespoke 5 star Hotel in Cambridge.
Pros:

Loved the Speakeasy Bar and the Restaurant food and service was very good.

Cons:

The wine list quality was a bit disapointing, for a 5 star Hotel. I think they can do a lot better, especially with the Chardonnay choice. We have so many high quality wines in NZ, so there shouldn't be any disapointing choices on the wine list (no matter what the price point is).

The speakeasy bar underneath is top notch, and the Nepalese barman here is exceptional!
Pros:

Apart from everything else stated below, I always enjoy staying at this hotel! A few small tweaks could make it superb!

Cons:

It needs to have secure parking. Vehicles are very vulnerable to break-ins in the existing large, open, public, shared space.
Noise can be heard from adjacent rooms, there is not enough sound deadening.
The blue LED lights on all light switches are an annoyance at night, they are way too bright and affect restful sleep.
Dimmers should be standard on all room lights, currently every fixture is way too bright for use at night.
