I wanted a good quality quiet hotel for a weekend break alone. I had a small single room which was very clean and well furnished. Bathroom was nice, powerful shower. I would of given 5 stars for cleanliness but on arrival and first use of ensuite toilet it had not been flushed! The staff where pleasant. The food was excellent. Disappointed that the restaurant was closed on Sunday evening. It would have been helpful if there has been a sign up in the reception to say restaurant was not open that night as I had planned to eat there and then had to walk out into town alone at night to find a restaurant. I always felt safe but wouldn't advise walking by canal or over Jesus Green alone late at night. Bed was made up daily and new towels, plenty of milk and biscuits etc with tea facilities, more available from reception if needed. I believe description mentions sound proof rooms however I was woken up after midnight 1 night by couple in next room arguing loudly and slamming doors! My room was on top floor, there are no lifts but I was fine with this as I always walk. The hotel was classic old style decor. Breakfast buffet impressive. I would definitely go back again.

Charging Hotel guests £18 to park onsite is a disgrace. The room was spacious but dirty, cobwebs all over the curtains, rotten window frames, no shower in the bathroom. We were not impressed for £160. The continental breakfast wasn't great and for £160 plus £18 to park, we should have had a full English thrown in. The location is ok, by the river, but nothing special, graffiti on buildings, people were drinking in the street, just generally not an upmarket feel as you would maybe expect in Cambridge. Maybe I should have done more homework before booking. On the whole a bit dissapointing. Would not stay there again unless cleaned up, refurbed with shower, free parking and full english breakfast, then maybe it would be considered.

The hotel is quite shabby with damp smell. The tv in our room didn't work and reception staff couldn't do anything. I complained but staff weren't helpful and I was told the manager was on holiday. No refund or compensation was offered. A cooked breakfast was extra although a picture is shown on the website which is misleading. Parking at the hotel is extra. On the day we arrived there was a bike race in Cambridge with several roads shut so we couldn't drive to the hotel carpark. Staff didn't seem to know anything about it and weren't able to suggest alternative parking or help at all. Good location but pretty disappointing experience.

I was almost breaking my leg walking into the room I was given because there were three steps after the door into the room and nobody told me that. I opened the door into a dark room after a late booking and checking in and walked into an empty space. Awful. Almost breaking my leg. And when I told this to the reception the next morning they couldn't wait to see the back of me out of embarrassment. Poor architecture, poor management. Never coming back again.

Dont be fooled by the outside
The hotel was ideally situated for us as was only 10 mins walk into the main centre of city ..although its not much to look at from outside dont be fooled as it was very nice inside and spacious..we chose a room with just a bath and the room was very nice and clean with a tv and kettle also a hairdryer very handy .. we also had lunch in one of the restaurants and it was lovely very tasty and reasonably priced..a reasonably price hotel ideally situated the only down fall for us was the price of the on site carpark which was a bit steep wasnt expecting that at all and pushed the price up for a cheapish weekend stay

Reminded me of Faulty Towers
Upon checking in I was immediately told that I had booked through Expedia, so that will be £18 a night to park my car. I had missed some kind of small print somewhere that obviously would have informed me that parking was chargeable, unless you book directly with the hotel. There are better ways to be greeted. The hotel is old and in need of a complete update. No air conditioning and the days we stayed, it was very hot. No fan in the room. A complete lack of plugs. A hairdryer is supplied but it is completely useless, and not really fit for purpose. There are lights shining on the front of the hotel in the evening. They switch off at midnight. Our room was at the front and the lights lit up the room, even with the curtains closed. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

My double room didn’t have a shower, only a bath with separate taps for hot and cold water. I was in a rush that morning for an event at Cambridge Judge Business School, and I didn’t have the time for a full bath. The entire room, including the bathroom, was carpeted and did not seem very clean. Additionally, there were many stairs to climb up and down to reach the room. They did not provide coffee during breakfast, and despite asking three times, I was eventually told, “Breakfast is almost done, so we won’t be providing it anymore.”
