The hotel is located in a prime spot, right in the heart of everything. The rooms were simply amazing, boasting comfortable beds and a great shower. However, the dining experience had a slight hiccup with the order accuracy. The service was warm and accommodating, particularly helpful for guests with mobility restrictions. The location couldn't be better for exploring the city and its attractions.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were gorgeous, very spacious, and had very up-to-date amenities. The staff were all professional, courteous, and cheerful from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The location was perfect, as we were just a short stroll from shops, colleges, river tours, and right across from a lovely park. The dining experience was enjoyable with good and super quick service, and the buffet-style cold breakfast was tasty with a great selection.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the upgrade was well worth it, the room was quite dark and lacked natural light, making it feel uninviting. The service was top-notch with a luxurious and comfortable feel, but there was a lack of flexibility in finding solutions. The location was excellent for exploring Cambridge on foot, with easy access to shopping and dining options. The dining experience was good but a bit expensive for what was offered.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were large and clean, well set out with just the right fittings and space, except for a bit of mud on the bed, which was a minor inconvenience. The service was impeccable, with the staff being lovely and very attentive. The location was ideal, just across the road from Parker's Piece and a short walk into the Center of Cambridge. The dining experience provided freshly cooked dishes with a good selection, although there was room for improvement. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor room for enhancement.
The hotel had a cozy and stylish room, perfect for a weekend stay. The service was exemplary, with staff promptly providing extra amenities. The location was extremely convenient for sightseeing, shopping, but felt less safe at night. The dining experience was lovely with a large choice of breakfast. Overall, a nice stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated and well-equipped, providing a large and comfortable space with a lovely spacious and really comfortable bed. However, the room seemed to be above the kitchen, leading to very strong cooking smells at times.

The facilities were fantastic, adding value to the overall experience.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The time spent with reception and various managers to solve room issues right before check-out was a downside. However, the room, although compact, was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The service from the staff, despite some issues with attentiveness, was lovely, really friendly, and helpful. The location, though a bit chaotic on Sunday morning, was excellent for accessing the city center. The dining experience was decent, with freshly cooked dishes.

The hotel offers stunning interiors and a wonderful bathroom in quiet and comfortable rooms with the ability to control the temperature. However, the room felt a bit chilly. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to make our anniversary and special birthday memorable. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the University of Cambridge. Dining options, although buffet style, provide a hearty breakfast experience. Overall, a top choice for visitors wanting a convenient stay in Cambridge.
The hotel is ideally located on the edge of Parker's Piece, making it a fantastic spot for exploring Cambridge on foot. The rooms were spacious and quiet, with amenities like AC, coffee, and a mini fridge. The friendly and helpful service added to the positive experience, but the absence of a late-night bar and parking charges were minor inconveniences.

What a delightful stay! The hotel rooms were not only lovely and well put together but also extraordinarily comfortable and clean. The stunning bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower added that touch of luxury. The only downside was the dining experience, which could get busy during peak times.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and efficient. The view of Parker's Piece from the room was a lovely surprise. However, the rooms were dreadfully noisy with sirens going off all night, which made it hard to rest peacefully.
Despite some minor issues with the room and breakfast service, the hotel offers a central location with convenient features like parking. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the facilities are well-maintained.
