Pros:

location was perfect .Idid not have the breakfast

Cons:

I did not realise when I booked that not all rooms have a private bathroom and I was unfortunate to have one with a shared bathroom . If I were to book the college again I would ask for a room with a private bathroom.

Cambridge, piękne miasto i warto tu przyjechać.
Pros:

Śniadanie było bardzo smaczne. Duży wybór. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna

Cons:

Pokój wymaga generalnego remontu. Zalany sufit i wykładzina, na ścianach zużyte tablice korkowe, pewnie pozostałość po mieszkających tam studentach. Zapach stęchlizny. Pod pokojem za zewnątrz mieścił sie skład na śmieci, które zostały zabrane o z5:30 rano, wiec zaserwowano nam wczesną pobudkę. Ogólnie czyste były tylko ręczniki i pościel i to jest cały plus tego pokoju.

Clean, spacious and central.

Didn't have breakfast so can't comment.

Bath water could have been warmer

Excellent place to stay if you are fit, but a lot of stairs to rooms if you’re not. No lifts.
Pros:

Very central location. Delightful old buildings, courtyards and gardens. Breakfast was fine. Room basic but open outlook so nice and bright. Tiny ensuite. Great price.

Cons:

At breakfast far too small a table for self service hot water & coffee flasks, selection of teas, milk etc so caused congestion.

Comfortable room in great location
Pros:

Lovely stay in an historic Cambridge college. Warm and efficient welcome from the Porters’ Lodge and lovely walk through the various courtyards to our room. The room was modern, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was good value. The college itself is very central but our room was quiet.

Peaceful, private, friendly but unobtrusive, gorgeous surroundings
Pros:

the simple comfort of my room; lovely bed; no TV (I don't like TV!; being in student digs; the beautiful architecture; having access to filtered water for my kettle; being free to wander in the gardens, especially the Fellows Garden

Cons:

My only gripe was that the bathroom (shared) wasn't very clean, & both toilets were so dirty that I decided to clean them myself! (the cleaning products were in a bucket in the corner). However, this might be an unfair complaint as it's likely they were cleaned in the morning but other residents simply hadn't used the loo-brush! I arrived early evening.
