Enjoyed location, but overpriced with limited facilities

Location was very good and pleasant outlook

For price charged, paper cups that disintegrated not good enough (especially when we passed caterers on site with china cups). No additional pillows. No bedside lights

It puts a roof over your head but is in no way worth the price. A hotel or B&B would have been cheaper and better.

Location was fairly close to where we wanted to be and the staff we met were accommodating.

It should be made clearer that you are staying in a students dorm room. We got the impression that this was a hotel room based on/near a campus with and was disappointed at the lack of any luxuries such as a tv, decent pillows or hand soap. It was very basic.

Very special atmosphere Super nice staff Good coffee in the lobby

The light switch in the room does not work as a usual light switch. You need to press it several seconds before it switches off. It would be helpful to put this info somewhere. We were lying awake in the bright room.

Superb

The college is lovely and the room has was modern, spacious and very clean. The porters were extremely friendly and helpful.

The only, minor, thing was that the wasn't any hand soap in the bathroom.

Good value for money.

Good location, comfortable bed. The staff were characters. Everything was in good working order. Quiet surroundings and lovely views of the courtyard. Overall good value for money.

Dirty towel and dish left in the room. The booking site did not make it obvious that this was normally student accommodation. We expected a hotel experience and it is definitely not that. The room was very basic and there are no other facilities as one would find in a hotel.

Great location! Spotless, tidy and safe. Close to the center. I'd recommend, especially if you travel solo.

It’s a happy experience and we would select it next time.

Location is quite good. It took us 12 minutes to city centre by walking and bus station is nearby. The room is clean and facilities are great. The college also looks fantastic.

The room temperature is a bit high at night in summer. If a fan can be borrowed, that’s great.

Unusual for pensioners to stay in a place usually populated by 18-22 year olds, but good room and

Location OK. Very quiet. Staff (particularly the porters) could not have been better. Good value for money.

Slightly remote for those like us who walk slowly! Would be improved by proximity to bus routes. Very hot when we visited - aircon would have been a bonus!

Comfortable stay.

The room as you would expect in a university was a relatively small basic room ( no tv ) . It had a small double bed lamp and a shower en suite. The room was spotlessly clean and the surrounding gardens and buildings were amazing. It was a 10 minute walk to the centre of Cambridge which was delightful .

Lovely grounds and good location.

I asked for a quiet location but unfortunately my room was next to a road with street noise which was disappointing. Buttery closed at 7pm.
