Excellent hotel. Wonderful welcome, lovely staff, gorgeous room. We stayed in a King park view which had an amazing view. Very nice to see a nespresso machine and water as well. The room was immaculately clean and the bed was so comfortable. We slept really well. Please ignore the moans about parking charges, if you want your car to be safe then just pay it!! All Cambridge hotels now charge, it's not new. Overall, we had a lovely stay and we would definitely come back here. It's clearly very well managed.

In my experience the “deposit” is essentially a scam! . I still haven’t had mine back from the 1st Feb. Called 4/5 times and emailed proof that the deposit hasn’t been returned, they say it should have been but, shamefully, no attempt to sort it out. Now taken it up with the bank. I wonder how many people this has happened to that haven’t noticed. Hotel - lovely lounge downstairs. Room quiet but dark and horrible view (window with a view of air conditioning ducts) Lovely bathroom!

We did a short break in Cambridge during Easter. As my partner is pregnant, we could fly or long distance from London. Absolutely excellent, staff super friendly, professional, ambience is great. With an expectant mother, we wanted an option to eat in, instead of eating out. The restaurant downstairs was great, we had breakfast and dinner on both days, looking out to a field. Close to everywhere (for example, you wanted to pop in the university library, cana, fitzwillians all 10 mins walk). Only downside which isn’t really in the hotels control is, there is quite noisy pub/club on the square, however inside the hotel or in the room, you rarely hear any noise, They can’t change the venue they don’t own and the staff did the best they could. During the day, very quiet square. The room is excellent, spacious, if you book the largest room on the floor, you will have a small living space and large comfortable bed. The room and hotel are what we expect from old English towns, celebrating a lot of histories of the university and the area. I would come back again.

A really relaxing stay, well looked after by friendly and professional staff. High class catering with fine wines and perfect cocktails. Alicia and Sreehari were lovely servers. Always greeted with a smile. A perfect recuperative stay.
