The hotel was perfect for our one-night stay, although the view wasn't the best, it didn't bother us as we were out exploring during the day. The room was very small by any standard for £315 a night, but it was a lovely surprise.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were incredibly intimate and cosy with beautiful decor, featuring a huge, comfortable bed with lovely cotton linen. The full tea and coffee making facilities were a nice touch. However, the views from the rooms didn't match the expectations set by the website. Overall, the rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and offered a good glimpse of the rooftops and surrounding area.

The hotel provided a large and comfortable room with a stunning view, including a complimentary bottle of Prosecco for our anniversary. The decor throughout the hotel was impressive. The location was central, offering easy access to various attractions, along with a peaceful ambiance away from the city's hustle and bustle. The dining experience offered a delicious variety of continental options, although some improvements could be made in the variety of choices. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The rooms lacked nothing and the unique bath in the middle added a special touch. The views over Cambridge were simply breathtaking. The room had the wow factor, being extremely intimate and cozy with beautiful decor, a huge bed with lovely cotton linen, and an extremely comfortable mattress and pillows. However, the experience was slightly dampened by noisy air-conditioning units.

The service was top-notch right from the moment we arrived. The staff even parked our car promptly and with a charming touch, wearing a bowler hat. However, some staff members could be a bit rude and uninterested, especially when it came to providing a positive exit experience.

The location of the hotel is perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the main colleges and the shopping center. It offers a beautiful view and the dinner experience was truly wonderful. However, the parking situation can be awkward, and the hotel charges £19.50 per night for parking, which could be a downside.

The dining experience was delightful with a continental breakfast option. The staff was very attentive and accommodating, providing a nice variety of choices. It would have been even better if there were more breakfast options, especially a full English breakfast.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were comfortable but a bit noisy due to the location overlooking the bins. The service was outstanding, with a friendly and lovely staff. The location was top-notch, allowing easy access to all of Cambridge's main attractions. The dining experience was a mix of disappointment and satisfaction. Overall, the stay was pleasant with a few minor hiccups.

The room, once we got in, was comfortable though a tad noisy due to the bin area outside. The upgrade to the superior king room didn't seem justified for the £195 paid.
