Looks great but so many issues
Cleaners forgot to clean my room, internet wasn’t working properly, the sauna has been broken since mid December, there were students on my floor who were noisy on two nights, running up and down the corridor. In the end I checked out a night early. It’s a shame as the hotel is lovely and the restaurant is good, but there’s so many administrative issues and if the internet isn’t working you can’t contact reception as you have to use WhatsApp to speak to them.

Comfy & warm... little too warm!
As usual, nice hotel, good rooms, good breakfast and all fine, except this time the room was like an oven and the property had switched off the ability to cool the room, so even at 16 degrees setting it was pumping out heat. Could not leave the window open due to train noise and had an uncomfortable sweaty night.

Average hotel nothing special
The service was rather poor, we wasnt welcomed in nothing explained to us, had no idea how to use the key for the swimming pool, found the hotel not value for money, the cleaning staff were friendly and helpful unsure of his name, however didnt seem very well run, shame the sauna was closed also that was never mentioned before or even on our visit, wouldnt say its very good for children, no nice touches

Excellent modern hotel
Loved everything about it. Excellent, clean hotel right next to Cambridge North station. My favourite part about it was the large UHD TV in the room that allowed me to cast my Prime and Netflix content.
