The lift was broken and was out for the next fortnight . Our room was on the second floor and we had to walk up all the stairs with our cases . They were charging £15 for car parking at the hotel and no offer of free breakfast or free car parking to compensate for the lift being broken .

Central to Cambridge so good location. The bar was closed at 10pm with sign apologising and directing to reception for drinks, but reception said sorry bar staff had to pop out! Breakfast buffet good, but waitress ask what hot breakfast we wanted, as cooked to order, however had only just sat down with cereal when cooked breakfast arrived and put on the table! Notice that she did this with other guests.

Convenient & clean but in need of refurbishment.
Good position for Cambridge centre 10 mins walk, and parking good value. Clean but rather tired and in need of a refurb, windows etc old and single glazed and main road traffic quite noisy. Staff polite enough, but hotel very bland with no character/atmosphere at all. On arrival were informed that there was a Christmas Party so no restaurant food available.

Regular visitor and generally satisfied
I've stayed several times in this hotel because of ts proximity to Cambridge University's Engineering and Management Schools. On the one hand it has a traditional English character, on the other it would benefit from some renovation. My room was quite large and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was a bit disappointing and needs an upgrade.

Over rated
We booked an executive double and were put in an an apartment which was spacious but certainly no luxury. The room was so stiffingly hot it prevented sleep. If you opened the window you contended with road noise instead. Comfy bed if you can get to sleep. Good location. Poor breakfast range and when they say breakfast is 8-10 be there in good time as they start packing up before 10 ... No second helpings for us! You might as well stay in a travelodge.
