Comfortable room. It was on the top floor and it was a lot of stairs. Beds and room was comfy. Bathroom plumbing was useless flushing required several goes. Breakfast was great. Parking convenient staff nice and friendly and the location walking distance to most things. We will stay there again but on a lower floor not the top floor 😎

Old but Comfortable
The downstairs reception and breakfast room were upsated and very clean. Unfortunately the room i stayed in, although very comfortable was in need of updating. There was a sign showing plans for a new hotel on the site as the current building is very old. Staff were lovely and very helpful.

There was no front desk reception at the Ashley Inn and we did not receive and email with instructions where to collect our keys until the next morning. Fortunately, there was a speaker system, but it was terribly difficult to understand due to the static. The beds were acceptable and the space was adequate. Unfortunately, the toilet did not flush properly so we had to pour water into the bowl and force a flush. The breakfast was quite nice and the staff serving were lovely.

great location & breakfast, average accommodation
Limited registration hours although you can communicate with its sister hotel Arundel House through the doorbell. No concierge, no baggage storage; no lifts and narrow stairways. It looks like it is being updated, but room 4 was dated (although furnishings in good condition) and clean (but the tiny shower stall needs a deep cleaning). Free parking, although I’m not sure if there is enough for everyone if the house is full. Like any old house, lots of creaking sounds from other guests. Great location for walking through Cambridge - close to several nice pubs. Breakfast was outstanding with great service from the staff - pretty much a fully cooked hot English breakfast plus extras like yogurt.

The double room had plenty of drawers and a wardrobe. It was spacious. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was full English with plenty of options. The only down side was the shower could have done with an upgrade.

Took the money and gave the room to someone else
money was taken from my credit card and the hotel did not give me a room although I had a valid confirmation. No refund and no sign of compensation. One of the most horrible experiences I have ever had. I am surprised this can still happen in 2024.

Good location, parking, easy walk to Cambridge
The hotel is in a good location, easy walk into Cambridge. Good parking. We were in room 3 and yes, you can hear the front door closing so maybe a quiet closing mechanism on the door would be useful but also other guests being considerate if coming in late at night/early morning would be nice! The room needed a little updating and a hoover and maybe soundproofing but we slept well. Breakfast was good, the staff were lovely. We were asked at breakfast if we wanted our room serviced as it stated in the room that due to staff shortages this couldn’t be guaranteed. A planned extension is advertised outside the hotel, hopefully they’ll have more staff if this goes ahead to have a full time reception and cleaning team.

Ok for the money. Free parking
Was ideal for short stay in Cambridge. Booked for graduation stay. Had to collect key from another hotel which was a drive away so not very convenient. Room was very hot no air conditioning or fan and noisy road if windows opened. Good to have separate toilet and bathroom in our family room. Good car parking. Difficult to navigate once inside. Great breakfast.

Not sure
We were placed in room 3 which is upstairs near the door. It was not dusted and all surfaces were dirty including the kitchen phone, the tea sets and the bathroom sink. The room is very noisy as people go in and out of the hotel slamming the front door and speaking loudly even at 2am. The positives are the parking and the location near the park and walking into town. If there’s a way of asking for a refund, we would have.. A relaxing weekend away was ruined for us!

Check in went smoothly with a lovely Iranian lady, she was very kind and helpful! The double room we were given was a good size with tea and coffee making facilities, and it overlooked the river and park, the room was warm and everything was clean, the bed was comfy, so no complaints about the room at all. All staff was lovely, polite and helpful!!! We really enjoyed our stay at the Arundel House Hotel and will no doubt be returning!!!
