lovely weekend at this cute hotel
Pros:

Really nice little place, very pleasant helpful staff, good breakfast.
Clean.
Near to town centre.
We ate in the restaurant two evenings - both meals really nice.

Very reasonable price which included breakfast and parking.
We had an exceptional sunny weekend so did briefly feel like we were in Sorrento!

Cons:

The water from the shower wasn't very powerful.
Decor a little dated in bedroom.

Pros:

Buona posizione per raggiungere il centro di Cambridge, ottima soluzione per chi cerca una struttura con parcheggio gratuito. Buona colazione

Cons:

Le camera non è climatizzata ( come tante altre in inghilterra), la moquette purtroppo alimenta polvere nella camera. Pulizia non buona

Pros:

Really enjoyed our stay in the Sorrento Hotel. All staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We very much appreciated our free upgrades and the rooms were spacious and comfortable; the bathrooms very smart! Breakfast and coffee was great! ( Next time will be trying the restaurant!) We enjoyed the walk into the city centre but it was only a £7 Uba if preferred. Free parking was a real bonus and helped us a lot. Perfect for our requirements.
We will definitely be booking again when in Cambridge.

Couple of uncomfortable details spoiled otherwise good stay
Pros:

Very helpfull staff & convenient generally comfortable room

Cons:

unfortunatly woken early by very bright sun shining on my pillow for 30 mins, (seasonal problem for this room - and it was a rare sunny morning in May!) I mentioned on departure and suggested needs curtains lining
Evening in restaurant placed next to a very loud couple, who seemed to be friends of restauranteur, despite most other tables being empty. Meal otherwise good.

Great little boutique hotel walkable to city center!
Pros:

Great little boutique hotel on the outskirts of the city but still walkable to the city center. Good breakfast and restaurant on premises. Staff is very welcoming.

Cons:

No a/c, but usually not an alarm due, we were there during a heatwave.
