A perfect welcome to Cambridge
I was really impressed with this hotel. We received a perfect welcome and Candice who welcomed us was brilliant and so knowledgable about the local area. The food served here was amazing. The breakfast buffet was always well stocked and fresh. I genuinely don't have anything bad to say about it.

Great stay, shame about the shortages at breakfast
Great stay, hotel was very busy, shortages at breakfast were disappointing. Bacon had run out and coffee machines needed supplies topping up

The hotel staff asked me the booking reference number at the time of check in, which I can’t find it in the app and emails. However, she can find the booking under my name in the system.
The cleanliness of my room was my expectation and it was my critical concern. The breakfast was good enough with various choices to enjoy

First Visit Surprise Here
Booked this hotel due to Addenbrooks appointment
Booked accessible room as wife disabled I Cannot fault our stay a very spacious room very clean with all necessary safety precautions taken in wet room
Bed very comfy and hot food served at bar in evening was surprising as most stop serving food around 7.30 pm A Free Breakfast was also available which was a bonus
This hotel ideally located for short trip to Addenbrooks
Will definitely stay here again when visiting Cambridge for leisure purposes.
A Large Well Located Hotel at reasonable cost
As said Cannot fault this hotel and staff

Some things good - somethings bad
Room was good as were the staff.
Sorry to say the food we had was not the best - steak pie - pastry was very hard, lasagna-was very salty & a little too sweet for my taste. Also would be better if the plates were warm, that also applies to the plates at breakfast
