Dirty rooms Mould on walls Very unpleasant

Only stopped at this place for one night. Couldn't stop for longer. It's very basic and dated. The breakfast is not good and very limited. I felt it was expensive for what it was. It was worth half what I paid.

Oct 2024

The beds were so squeaky you could hardly sleep. They only supplied one pillow each. The breakfast was more for non English without a doubt. Electric wires hanging out inside the building everywhere. Wasn’t impressed at all

Possibly the worst hotel stay I have had, The check in was just a key left on the table in the entrance with a hand written note with my name The room was cold, smelly and poorly maintained The decor of the whole place was in poor condition, this was very obviously a care home previously as there were nurse call points in the hallways half removed The bed was uncomfortable so we did not have a good sleep for the two nights we were there The only member of staff we encountered during our stay was rude to us as we were checking out less than 10 minutes after the 10am checkout time The whole experience of this hotel left a bad impression on both of us I travel a lot for work and stay in a lot of different hotels around the country Although cheap it was not the cheapest I have stayed in but was very definately the worst by a long shot.

rooms was nice but the halls was like out the shining, breakfast was awful, don’t book if you want to be feed in the morning, it toast and cereal and the butter and jam had been mixed, probably because of the lack of cutlery

Terrible, can’t say much more. Rooms run down, bathroom dirty and metal fittings rusty. Housekeeping was well below par, bedding not particularly clean. The shower was either very hot or scalding, no real ability to adjust. Breakfast was in an upstairs day room, continental buffet, kettle, microwave, no staff just make your own. The place was originally a nursing home that was inspected in 2011 and deemed unsatisfactory. It would appear it later closed down and is now this hotel, but doesn’t look as though any alterations have been carried out to convert it to a hotel, in fact, the nursing alarms are still on the corridor walls. The ambiance of the hotel felt more like a half way house for recovering drug users. I would avoid this place at all costs, don’t even consider booking a room here, you will regret it. I now it’s cheap but we’ve had some good rooms in low cost hotels, if there was a Travelodge near by we would have used that but we had to location specific as we where helping our son move into his new property. It not as though we have never been before to Cambridge itself as our son has lived here for the past eight years. We’ve stayed in other accommodations in Cambridge and never had any issues. If you do decide to stay, may I suggest at least a bottle of wine before you retire as this will help dull your regrets.

The location was ok. No tea making facilities, no shampoo, scruffy room, sagging curtains, broken fittings. Warm welcome, easy to park, taxi arrived on time.

There were cans and bottles left in the room, the toilet seat was broken and squashed flies were smeared on the ceiling. The bathroom was so small I had to set sideways on the toilet (I am only 5’ 4”). I could not identify most of the items on the breakfast buffet so just had toast. The only advantages were that the (one) towel and bed linen were clean and the water in the bathroom was hot.

The staff were very accommodating, the breakfast food was lovely, and you could get a private room for such a low price

The property was very aged. The net curtains were ripped and the window would not close. There were two beds one the mattress sagged the other was ok. There was blood on one of the duvets. This was not a cheap room . The contenental breakfast was yougart, toast. Garlic sausage and salad bits. There was cold baked beans. We definately not be returning. There was no tea coffe facilities in room and told could help self anyti.e but no mugs available. The dinning room was not very clean.

The bed is squeaky and mattress was very comfy. I hope they will have a better breakfast. I stayed for a month it’s the same old stuff they served.

Basic but very friendly and helpful, everything you need and more. Free serve yourself breakfast from wide, healthy range provided, with kettles toasters, fridge and microwave available for use. Teas/coffee can be made any time. Iron and hair dryer available to borrow. Ample free parking. Very well located for Papworth and Addenbrookes. Excellent eateries nearby. Excellent value.

It was supposed to be a deluxe room . I would hate to think what the other rooms were like. No facilities at the lodge.Breakfast included consisted of two loaves of bread and a toaster. Absolute rubbish place to stay . More like a hostel . Paid for two nights stayed one as could not face staying another night.

Feb 2024

Very cheap but just lacked small things like hand towel and shower gel/shampoo. Also a shelf in shower, no where to put soap. Room door was stiff making it difficult to get in and out.

Stayed here for work and upon checkin the phone numbers did not work and the rooms were quite dirty. Looked under the mattresses and found some dreaded bed bugs. Expedia helped us find a replacement hotel but this spot would not give us a refund and had no one we could even talk to. After supplying them with images of the bed bugs they said we made it up and this is another hotel yet the geo info shows very clearly this is their hotel yet they still would not with with us. I would stay away from this spot and find something different at all costs.

It was very basic was more like a hostel than a hotel. Continental breakfast consisted of cereal and a slice of toast that you had to help yourself to.
