Nostalgic Visit to My Old College
Pros:

The room was very comfortable and within very easy reach of King Street where there are some interesting small businesses, including a brew house which does nice meals. The shops and restaurants are a stone's throw from Christ's College as are the famous colleges like KIngs and Trinity. The market is very near and also the Picture House cinema. The Fellows' garden in Christ's is definitely worth a visit.

Cons:

Everything was great.

Excellent place to stay
Pros:

Excellent location. It was interesting to get a glimpse of the inside of the college, layout, mix of old and modern etc. It was great to be able to come and go at any time. The room was huge and very comfortable. It was good to know in advance that there were no hairdryers or irons provided - it didn't matter but meant I knew to bring a hairdryer.

Cons:

Everything was good

Charming and a great location, but showing a few signs of wear.
Pros:

On the plus side, the location itself is smack bang in the middle of Cambridge city centre, there's a bar onsite that only those staying at the uni can access, the breakfast was pretty good, and the porters were friendly with a good sense of humour. My room was also quite spacious, and it was nice to walk around the grounds at night and in the morning.

Cons:

You can hear people moving around at night (I was woken up twice) in the hallways and in the rooms above you...it's an old building that wasn't built for sound insulation. I got a sink in my room but having to walk all the way down the corridor to use the toilet was a bit annoying. One of the latches on the window was broken...just keep in mind you are staying in a charming place but one that is clearly showing signs of wear and tear.

We enjoyed walking around the college grounds and learning of its history and admiring the gardens and watching the squi
Pros:

Great location set in beautiful grounds

Cons:

We kept the curtains closed the whole time as it was a large window with no nets or blinds and people from the street and buildings opposite could see straight in to our room.

Un très agréable séjour
Pros:

Le College est très central, idéal quand on rentre tard le soir. J'ai eu la chance d'être logée dans un bâtiment plus ancien que le "Typewriter", donc je n'ai pas souffert de la chaleur, et j'avais une jolie vue sur les arbres. Le petit-déjeuner est très bon et varié.

Cons:

Tout était très très propre, mais mes oreillers (pas les taies) avaient fait leur temps.
