Quite smelly, generally unclean with mouldy bathroom. Didn’t want to touch anything and couldn’t wait to get out. Very strong smell of food too. Not for me and I won’t be starting ever again. Only plus is the free parking.
Positives - a welcoming reception, comfortable bed, parking, everywhere spotless, decent kettle and good shower.
Negatives - the small tv only receives a few channels - very few. It still seems tuned in to Freeview as it was when it first came out. The system probably just needs retuning. And there was a bit of rust on a grab rail in the shower.
I reckon that these are tiny negatives and on balance I feel the hotel was good value.

Some good some not so...
The good points - parking, lovely welcome at reception and the hotel was clean.
Bad points - badly patched up hole in the ceiling of my room, some damp and peeling wallpaper in a top corner and very few tv channels available.

Great place to stay in Cambridge.
Lovely welcome. Efficient check in. The room was immaculate and looked newly refurbished. Quiet. Very comfortable bed. And with the benefit of delicious food in the Chinese restaurant below, with excellent staff. Thank you!
Near Addenbrookes hospital and also near city centre, on a good bus route for both. Parking at the rear.

Very convenient for all transport in and around cambridge
Because it's an older building there is no lift. That did not lessen my pleasure during the stay. Staff were courteous and welcoming. The room was clean and quiet. The water pressure was a little low, but I still had a good shower. Overall an enjoyable experience.
I wanted a low cost bed for the night within easy walking distance of the city centre and that what I got. Nothing fancy but I didnt pay fancy money. An option for breakfast would have been good.

This hotel is cheap and cheerful. If you want the Dorchester then pay Dorchester prices. It's a tad worn in places but it's clean with good friendly staff.
Have stayed here many times before, could do with a little updating, modernisation etc, but apart from that, clean quiet and comfortable. We would absolutely stay there again!
Convenient location to walk into Cambridge with car parking facilities. The lights in the bathroom didn’t work and because there was no window it was very dark making it difficult to use the facilities. The bed was hard, the room was cold with no heating that worked, and the condition of the room was poor. There was no one on reception until 11:00 and we had to check out by 10:00.
