Overall a great stay
Pros:

The location was excellent and easy enough to walk into city all be it a fair distance. Food was good and staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons:

Unable to have a bath/shower as neither of us could get in or out safely. No handrails to help older clients use that facility as the bath height to high. Stairs a little steep for older less mobile people.

Pros:

The reception is available until very late and works very well.

Cons:

I had an attic room and the shower was somehow unconfortable (this can nevertheless just apply to that specific room).

optimal für einen Städtetrip
Pros:

Das Zimmer war mehr als okay, vor allem sehr sauber. Das Frühstück entsprach vollauf meinen Erwartungen, eben auch englisch; dazu is(s)t man ja in England. Und es gab ja auch eine Hotelbar, die ich allerdings kaum genutzt habe. Die Lage war gut, der Fußweg in die City allemal machbar.

Cons:

keine Verbesserungsvorschläge (außer vielleicht beim Preis)

The car park is a bit tight if you’re bringing a car

Hotel recomendado para visitar Cambridge
Pros:

Más barato que estar en el centro de Cambridge pero se llega rápido caminando, y tb está cerca de la estación de tren. Los recepcionistas son muy amables, la atención es personalizada, algo que se está perdiendo en muchos hoteles. El desayuno es muy bueno. Lo recomiendo si quieres visitar Cambridge.

Cons:

Todo muy bien.

Pros:

La situació és ideal, a 5-10 minuts de l'estació. Qualitat preu no està malament per ser Cambridge

Cons:

Em van assignar una habitació a l'àtic amb el sostre inclinat. En principi no hauria de ser un problema, però el lavabo també tenia el sostre en pendent, i la dutxa quedava just a la zona més baixa. Em va caldre dutxar-me gairebé asseguda a la banyera

A good place to stay for easy access to public transport and away from the busiest tourist areas.
Pros:

The location was excellent for catching a variety of buses to places around the city. It’s right opposite the botanical gardens and it’s also walkable into the centre.
Great to have a car park.
The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.
There was plenty of space for storing clothes and belongings and the bathroom was a really good size.

Cons:

There’s a massive building project going on opposite so there was noise between 8am and 5pm.
The shower attachment could perhaps do with an update but that’s a very minor criticism.
