Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has a cozy ambiance with super comfy beds and a lovely wine bar, although the rooms are a bit small. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff who even left chocolates in the room. The location is perfect for exploring Cambridge on foot. The dining experience lacked diversity during the week but offered traditional regional homemade products. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor room size limitations.
I recently stayed at the hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were mostly clean and elegant, there were some issues like a grubby hole in the bed cushion and splashes on the headboard. The service was friendly and accommodating, with only a minor exception. The location was excellent, particularly for exploring the town of Cambridge, and the dining experience was good with freshly cooked hot dishes. However, the price seemed to be on the higher side for what was offered.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms, although comfortable and well-equipped, had some maintenance issues. The service was friendly and attentive, despite a minor hiccup with the iron provided. The location was perfect for exploring Cambridge, except for an unpleasant encounter with night staff. The dining experience was a highlight, offering delicious dishes at a slightly higher price. The facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, though they can feel a bit tired at times. The service is a mix of helpfulness and occasional delays.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were a bit outdated and overpriced for what was offered, but the service from the staff was welcoming and helpful.
