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.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, great location

We had a very pleasant stay, excellent room, very comfortable and clean. All contact/requests to receptionist was dealt with promptly and efficiently. Good location too close to the station. Would definitely go back here. We didn't eat breakfast though as we thought it was quite expensive.

Great hotel

Excellent hotel, right by the railway station. Took about 20 mins to walk to city centre but there are plenty of buses around. Breakfast was good. Room was a double, wet spacious and huge bed was very comfortable. Will definitely return when we next visit this beautiful city

First stay at this hotel and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Stayed with my daughter in a deluxe twin room, it was lovely, incredibly clean, the beds were so comfortable and luxurious. The staff couldn’t have been more polite and helpful, the recaption staff, the waiters, the cleaners, the bar staff, all so pleasant. The buffet breakfast was delicious too. I cannot fault anything and will definitely stay again on my next visit to Cambridge.
