The stay was excellent. The biggest fault with this property was the overnight parking if it wasn’t for the staff the stay would have been a disaster it was stressful enough as it was.

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.

Unfortunately the room was next to the lift of be hotel, which was very old and incredibly loud. We could hear the lift in motion, banging and clanking all night.

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
