Pros:

The hotel was comfortable, and well located for our stay in Cambridge; just across the road was the River Cam and beyond that Jesus Green.

Hôtel à 10 minutes à pied du centre.
Pros:

Les notes précédentes n’étaient pas bonnes mais au final ce n’était pas justifié.
Literie correcte chambre propre

Cons:

Les fenêtres de la chambre du rez de chaussée s’ouvrent sur 20 centimètres. Pas suffisant avec la chaleur.
La route de devant est passante à partir de 6 heures le matin.

The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff really friendly and helpful.

My only problem was the shower. Where it's so small,you can't get in without your head getting soaked.
