The staff all were excellent and really accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was excellent having a wide range of cold and hot food. The location was good being close to the station and the botanic gardens and not too far from the centre.

Like the lobby staff, always wear big smiles and keen to help. Super close to railway central station and bus stops. Around 20 mins of walk between hotel and city center / major Cambridge colleges but lots of good restaurants like Golpo, Northern China Dunpling along the way. Rooms are retro style and spacious

This hotel was amazing! It was in a great location right by the train station. Our room wasn’t ready when we got there but the hotel was able to hold our luggage and we had some drinks at the restaurant. The room was very clean and very spacious.

Amazing hotel however quite a few letdowns.
When first arriving at the hotel it was amazing - I had booked the executive king room with balcony. The room looked amazing visually however there was a few things that let me down, there was a brown/red stain on the carpet, surfaces was slightly grimey, cigarette butts on the floor of balcony. Not the kind of cleanliness I expected given the calibre of hotel I was staying in, in the morning I ordered breakfast via room service and when it arrived I was Beyond shocked when it was stone cold and swimming in liquid on the plate I think a full English breakfast shouldn’t be that hard to arrive 1. Cooked properly and 2. Warm on arrival. All in all was a big let down as I came away for a break from day to day life thought I was treating myself but left feeling a bit let down. I then tried to give feedback to the hotel and was told the manager would phone me and it’s been three days and still no word - as a hotel customer service should be number one priority and I just feel like it wasn’t on this occasion.

10/10 Stay!
I could not have faulted my stay, the staff were all so friendly and helpful, my room was always cleaned to perfection and had everything I needed. From the lovely smelling soap to the selection of tea bags, the refills of water bottles in the fridge and the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, would definitely recommend and if I am ever back in Cambridge, I will definitely be coming back here. It was so central and handy to the train station as well.
