Like the vicars "egg good in parts"
Pros:

Location good , bed comfortable
The food in the restaurant in the evening was amazing - I can recommend dining there .

Cons:

The ground floor room was very noisy with traffic and people outside talking loudly at 4am & the double glazing did not filter anything . Breakfast items were sparse for those not first to arrive .

Great hotel to explore Cambridge.
Pros:

We really liked it. The staff were great and the room was clean and comfortable. Location was also good with buses nearby into town. The hotel also has a bar and excellent Italian/pizza restaurant. Breakfast was included and could not have been better.

Staff made our stay pleasant - the cleanliness and food standard was disappointing.
Pros:

The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful - eg sourcing a taxi for us.

Cons:

The room could have been cleaner- behind the bathroom door, by bedside tables (noticed when plugging phone chargers in).
The lamp shades were unattractive because they were in damaged.
Breakfast choices were mixed in quality. Good - yogurt, seeds selection, mushrooms, tomato, bacon, fresh fruit salad, granary bread. Poor - pastries (not actually pastry), other bread, other cooked items didn't look great so I didn't try them.

Sehr gute Lage, Bus und Zug ist schnell erreichbar
Pros:

Personal ist sehr nett und Frühstück ist gut

Cons:

Es wird nur oberflächlich gereinigt, besonders im Restaurant bzw. im Frühstücksraum lässt die Sauberkeit leider zu wünschen übrig.
