Prima hotel voor 1 of 2 nachten!
Pros:

Goede locatie, alles prima op loopafstand. Mooi pand, charme.

Cons:

De airco werkte niet. Nu was het ook uitzonderlijk warm weer. We kregen twee ventilators in de kamer, dat hielp wel wat.

Lovely hotel. Perfect location.
Pros:

Friendly welcome. Location great. Has air con in rooms which we were grateful for during this latest hot spell. Lovely little note and complimentary chocs left on the bed.

Cons:

Only minor and my opinion but the pillows were really bulky and difficult to get comfy. Others might love them!

A good hotel that’s perfect for a stay in Cambridge, made the couple of days really important
Pros:

Great location and the staff were really helpful about small issues and special requests.

Cons:

Some issues with the room, our main door wouldn’t close properly and also the aircon wasn’t as good as it should have been given the weather.

I will continue to book at a Hotel du Vin in the future
Pros:

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge is ideally located within the central area of Cambridge. Any place we wanted to go/visit was a short walk. And with so much to see and experience along the route, the walks seemed effortless.

Cons:

This was my 3rd or 4th stay in a Hotel du Vin- first in Cambridge. My room was flawless. However the room my 2 adult sons shared had some issues. I specifically booked a room with twin (2) beds. First night the room had only a Queen size bed and the air-conditioning failed to cool the room. The second night the boys did get a twin beds room. The down side was a shower drain stoppage which cause water to backup into the room. This was mended the next morning. Hotel management did compensate on the bill for the inconvenience. I will continue to book at Hotel du Vins in the future
