Steven was very helpful, beds comfy, able to leave bags during the day. Quite noisy due tobeing on main road but very convenient for town centre.

Improve access to attendants!
We were unable to get ahold of the hotel attendant to check in, perhaps a USA phone problem. Perhaps informing connecting via WhatsApp. The construction was loud. There was no sheet on the beds and the pillows were small. The communal bathroom worked out just fine though.

Concert Stay.
On the positive side, great location: about 1min from the park and ride bus stop, about 5 mins walk from the Corn Exchange venue. Super friendly and helpful staff. In the negative side: ultra basic accommodation and very noisy from the bar downstairs, until the early hours.

This is a very very basic hotel. Quite literally a place to rest your head in central Cambridge. At £100 per night it is not cheap. The sheets of my bed were not clean and the curtains did not cover enough of the window to block out the sunlight. That being said, the room itself was not horrendous and the shared bathroom was not revolting. Overall I think it was expensive for what you get but not the worst travelling experience of my life.

The location is excellent. The room is clean and staff are helpful. However, avoid booking on Fridays and Saturdays if you want to sleep at night. The bar plays very loud music 'til 3am and it's impossible to sleep.

Give it a miss
As all the other reviews, this is just a room over a bar, shared bathrooms and no breakfast. I was aware of this (and that it’s way overpriced), but there’s also no one around in the bar in the morning in case anything goes wrong. I forgot to take my room key to the bathroom with me, and was locked out my room from 4am to midday, which was when someone appeared in the bar downstairs. I was then informed I had missed the checkout time. Really wished I had booked somewhere else.

You're above a pub, but right in the city centre, for real cheap. It's highly convenient, clean bathrooms and bedding, but be warned, it's above a pub. Its a bit noisy until late, but that's expected. Can't complain really. We left some headphones and keys behind but they were very kind to ship them back for us! Would recommend if you're in for a couple of nights and just need a bed. Gud price

Terrible!
This is not as advertised at all, you literally get just a room with a tv in it. No amenities at all. The room was dirty, smelled like urine, one window was broken, the door didnt lock, one of the beds was broken. And the bathroom was a floor down, which wasn't very clean either. We did not end up staying as felt unsafe!

Someone tried to break into my room. Brakes brothers lorry parked outside with its engine on from 4 am Taps all on a timer so 15 secs is not long enough. Very expensive for shared toilet and shower

Clean and tidy. It was as shown on description: upstairs with 2 twin beds and a full size bed. The bathroom was shared and clean. The location was amazing -- thumbs up --and it made it easier to go and get around Cambridge. Being in City Center becomes noisy in the evening. This was a short and brief stay on our way to mainland Europe to catch an early flight out of London. I would stay again. Thanks for lettings us unload our luggage prior to check-in time.

2/10 Poor

I’ve never felt so unsafe staying away with work. After a warm enough welcome, things went downhill! Two women staying on one floor without a working shower, expected to use the one the owner used and another guest on another floor. One of the room locks didn’t work properly and looked as though it had been tampered with! Left me feeling extremely vulnerable. Window wouldn’t close so extremely noisy night! Room was in poor repair and there wasn't even any tea making facilities or even a glass in the room. For the price paid, it was a disgrace. Would recommend you avoid this place!

Basic and noisy
On arrival, I discovered that it was not really a hotel but a pub with rooms above. this in itself was not a problem as I was working and would not be returning until around midnight but after the person who seemed like the bar manager showed me the room, he returned to say as I didn't book through bookings.com, maybe I wasn't aware that there would be a dj on until 3a.m. and offered me ear plugs. As it was graduation week and everywhere was booked up and / or very expensive plus I had to get to work, I decided to let it go as what else could I do at that point? It was very loud but finally did get to sleep after 3 only to be woken again by a bottle bin being emptied at around 6 a.m. I would advise anyone thinking of staying here to check with other websites or even the property itself to see what closing time is over their stay. Hotels.com should really be held accountable for this. Also, shower wasn't working on my floor apparently one above was ok but I just left as soon as I could.

Misrepresented
The b and b is not a b and b. There is a bed but no breakfast. Why is it advertised as a b and b. It even says on the front door b and b guests call the number shown on arrival. Misreprentation. The room is basic. The bathroom is dirty. The walls are paper thin My advise would be to spend another 75 pounds and go stay at the Hilton.
