Excellent location and very competitive price for the area. Helpful and polite staff. Despite proximity to rsilway, very quiet and calm atmosphere. Restaurant has good menu choices. Pool and fitness facility. Checkout is relatively late.

A normal hotel
It is alright value for money. Parking is a pain and expensive, you are actually using paid train station parking next to hotel and it can be a long walk to haul the suitcase.

Really nice hotel in a good location to get in and out of the city. Hotel was clean and inviting only observation is that as they allow dogs to stay in rooms there probably needs to be a slightly more rigourous cleaning regime (or potentially different cleaning equipment to get the hair out of carpets etc.)

Hotel itself was nice but had a number of issues, gym changing area was very dirty, towels everywhere and only few lockers, some were broken. Worst experience iv ever had at a hotel with the staff. No friendly greeting, a smile was to much to ask. I heard one of the staff arguing with a guest around breakfast area in front of all the other guest, very unprofessional. Later on the day I had a similar issue with another staff at front desk arguing with me, no intention of coming to an agreement but rather argue in front of all the other guest

Lovely hotel, great facilities and good transport links into Cambridge centre. Alternatively there is a lovely river path into town if you don't mind a 45-60 min walk.

Could be better…
Booked online requested a cot for 2 year old, which was not ready in the hotelroom, but easily organised after we seen the room. Access card needed for the pool, clear explanation how and what regarding the pool, although towels was an issue. No clean towels ready at the pool. No staff stationed down there, when ringing internal to reception, the staff member picking of the phone did not understand what I meant with “There’s no towels outside the pool changing area”!. It took three times explaining before he said he understood, not seen anyone in several minutes, gave up, when we were done swimming it was re stocked. Decided to have dinner at the hotel, this took again three times to confirm our order, with the result we got 1 of our 2 main children meals and it seemed to take quite a while before we received our meals. With nothing too extravagant ordered from the menu, it was still just under £100. The receipt confirmed a 10% additional charge for staff (on top of their wage), which I personally would have wanted to decide myself and with the experience that evening I maybe would have not added any % at all. In the morning used the hair dryer, after an early swim. Not alert enough I moved my head while drying (like you do) and my hair got caught in the back bit it the dryer. It pulled quit a bit off, resulted in pain and headache. I took a picture and mentioned this with the check out . Staff member could only say: “Oh, that’s not nice!” Back cover missing? Needs checking!
