Veronica from Heathfield, GB (Mature couple) 01 March 2008

We would have liked a room overlooking the river and will know next time to request one. Although we did not use the restaurant we have a copy of the restaurant menu and on our next visit look forward to dining there. We particularly liked the conservatory where we enjoyed a snack on arrival and breakfast. (97633804)

Elizabeth from LANARK, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 05 April 2007

I thought the location was excellent and that more could be made of this in the advertising. The menus we saw before we came were helpful in choosing to eat in the hotel. We found the food at dinner excellent value and very good indeed. (99946560)

positive comments We were impressed by the overall condition of the hotel and thought it very good for 3*. An ongoing refurb programme suggests that it'll be even better next time! The retaurant floor is particularly nice with lovely curtains and carpets and magnificent toilet facilities.
negative comments It annoyed me that the remote control provided with the TV could not be used to turn it on and off. Also, I would have liked access to teletext for news updates.

There were two people in reception who couldn't work independently so that we were left waiting whilst they both tried to sort out someone else. Being completely ignored is not a pleasant experience and eventually we gave up! The decor is hideous throughout the hotel. The restaurant was reasonably good although I thought that the wine was overpriced. (99960597)

positive comments The restaurant and bar staff were attentive and good
negative comments The bathroom was tiny to the extent of being difficult to use

Good hotel well placed for visiting the centre of Cambridge with an easy walk into the city centre. Enjoyable breakfast, set us up for the day. Good car park in a city which has difficult parking facilities. We will come back to this hotel again. (99888603)

negative comments Appears to be no facilities for the disabled or partly able. I could be wrong.

David from Chester, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 14 October 2006

Double bed had a plastic undersheet and sheets which were too small so was uncomfortable as we were used to a king. No alternative room was available. Hotel had no lifts and we were not offered any help to get luggage up three flights of stairs. Old fashioned sash window was difficult to open and close. Dining room staff were friendly but appeared undertrained and made many mistakes. We could not get an evening meal in the restaurant, even though it was less than half full. We were told there were not enouygh clean tablecloths! (99767215)

positive comments Location and car parking. Good breakfast.
negative comments Room was cramped, bed was too small, service was variable and staff seemed generally to be friendly but undertrained

Julia from Luton, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 26 July 2006

This is a pleasant, well-located hotel - near enough the centre of Cambridge to walk there, but with lots of free car parking space. The staff were very flexible - giving us somewhere to store our luggage before check-in; bringing an ice-bucket to our room as soon as requested etc. The conservatory was a pleasant place to meet for drinks as well. Only slight problem we had was our waiter at breakfast, who didn't seem to know very much English and as a consequence kept bringing us the wrong orders. Food was good though. (3304675828)

positive comments Rooms and facilities were spacious and the staff were very accommodating.
negative comments Apparently the bed in the double room was quite small.

jean from culverstone gravesend, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 22 February 2006

We enjoyed our stay and found the staff friendly and welcoming. The room was big enough.The bed was just big enough for us but taller, bigger people would have found this a problem. If there are rooms with bigger beds it would help to have a choice shown. The times of breakfast and leaving the rooms was too confusing, it differed depending on what piece of paper you read. (3304217083)

positive comments The accommodation was clean,warm and comfortable and an affordable price for the middle of Cambridge.
