Fair stay for access to Cambridge centre
Pros:

Situation to centre of Cambridge
Comfy bed and pillows

Cons:

Smell in corridors also very dark and gloomy. Trying too hard to be eclectic when could just do more modern and better quality. Some of the rooms have unpleasant views - flat room and air vent noisy.
More effort needed in plants etc outside by river
Breakfast ok but could be better
Overall some areas renovated better than others which looks like a fast solution rather than quality

Best position in town exploited by too high room prices and cheese pairing with the small things
Pros:

River-side position in central Cambridge, room's balcony, bedroom furniture

Cons:

No porter to help with luggage.
No dressing gowns - for over £300 per night these should be provided. no mugs/cups for toothbrush. Bedside lighting poor.
No comp nibbles at bar which for bar prices there should be.
Breakfast slow, had to queue and wait both mornings.

Great location for the town and next to the river
Pros:

Location was amazing - right next to the river and as the weather was hot it ws lovely to sit outside. Also liked being close to the main centre. Lots of parking at the hotel as well.

Cons:

Balcony rooms have very very small balconies. Not much room for more than one chair. Not sure they are worth it.
