Stayed overnight as visiting with a friend. I think I was expecting the room to have have a little more old school luxury . I’d upgraded to a king room.
All that was in the strange shaped room was a bed, desk and a random settle without the back. I had thought there would be an occasional chair, but maybe I was expecting too much.
Bathroom was lovely and sizeable
Nice wardrobe with tea and coffee, unfortunately the milk was off which destroyed my chance of a nice cup of tea in bed.
The bed though. It was divine. I like firm beds but this one was perfect and the bedding was good quality.
Room was quiet although right by stairs.
Aircon was not adjustable except to turn it on and off but the temperature was ok.
Their idea of 24 hr room service needs work. Sandwiches!
The lifts can take forever to arrive and I didn’t like that they appear not to have service lifts so you end up sharing with all manner of things.
All in all a nice first experience but I don’t know if I’d stay again.

Great hotel. Friendly staff and excellent location, but air cond' in my room didn't function well and moved from 14 degrees (very cold) to about 27 degrees (very hot) after three calls before I finally turned it off at 2.30am. Terrible night's sleep as I had an early start. Fortunately, we have a choice. I got a sense there were issues with the technology as other issues were happening.

I found this hotel to be just what I'd like a hotel to be. The bathroom was luxurious, the bed comfy, the service at breakfast and for evening drinks was speedy, polite and comfortable. It was a modern hotel with really traditional standards.

Overall the hotel is a nice play to stay, with beautiful decor and comfortable rooms. It is well located, being walking distance to the centre.
However it is let down a little by some staff.
We were hurriedly checked in on arrival and given no information on where to find the lifts, where our room was located, dining information etc.
Yet later on when I wandered around looking for the car park , the young man on Concierge greeted me with a smile and I insisted on taking me there, and then give me a complete tour of the facilities.
There is parking under the hotel. Not cheap at £40 for the night, but very convenient.
Service is slow in the bar, and I had to walk up to pay my bill after waiting too long for a waiter to come. Little things, but when you pay a premium to stay at a good hotel, you do expect a premium service.
I would stay again. The hotel just needs to get the staff better trained.

One should be aware that the “cosy”
room is really the lowest grade they have. Either you like the pretend Olde-World or not, but I wasn’t quite expecting the back end room, where actually there was virtually no GSM signal, where they tried hard to block out the “view”. I have stayed in several Cambridge hotels and there are better ones than this.

Very dark dingy room. No mirror above dressing table. Television on a side wall so couldn’t be seen from the bed.

This hotel has so much potential but it just comes up a little short. We enjoyed our stay, the bar area was lovely, room room for improvement.
- Communication - I was in contact with the hotel in advance to ask about parking, they just ignored me until after we stayed - poor. We turned up see if we could park onsite, took 15 mins to even find a human to ask, they eventually said no & directed us to the nearest car park 5 mins away. FYI walking to the hotel is a across a very dark park, not great for a female on her own.
- Breakfast - set up at Parker's Tavern was great, nice continental options, don't bother with a la carte. Took 40 mins to get an avocado on toast delivered. Not what you expect when you paid £200 per night. We added breakfast at check in as staff advised it was cheaper, the restaurant had no record of this so we awkwardly had to explain it to them.
- Classic room - we booked a room with twin beds (2 friends). Allocated ground floor - room decor was lovely but the room smelt so bad of sewage every time we walked in. We were only there 1 night, they'd already told us no upgrade to a twin superior room was available & the reception was mayhem so we didn't bother to complain.
- Bar access - a main reason to stay was the lovely bar. We went for a drink at 6pm & was refused access very rudely, just told it was full. We looked through the door & lots of bar stools & seats explained we were staying at hotel, they eventually let us in but reluctantly. So strange.
