Overpriced hotel in severe need of a full refurb
The location was fantastic. A 10 minute walk from central Cambridge. A lovely view from our bedroom overlooking the river.
Unfortunately other than its location, all other aspects of the hotel were very disappointing. Decor and furnishings were very dated and shabby. It clearly hasn't seen a lick of paint or had an update since the early 90s. The room didn't have any plugs near the beds (clearly predates the era of mobile phones!). We had to use the telephone/kettle plug (one of which was broken so potentially unsafe) to charge our phones. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, more like small singles and they moved around slightly in the night which was a surprise! The bathroom was quite grubby - mould on the shower mat and the extractor didn't work. Breakfast was absolutely terrible. We had the continental (as it was included). A tray of breaded ham and processed cheese, only sliced bread was on offer (but no working toasting machine) and the coffee was undrinkable. The staff seemed disinterested and fed up. Thank goodness we were only there for one night. A total rip off for £175.

Good and wouldn't mind staying again.
Convenient location. Good service at breakfast. Room had everything I needed and ironing facility was available.
No alternative tea option in the room. Would be great if there were other herbal tea options provided rather than just black tea. The same at breakfast - please provide a herbal tea option as well. Carpets in the room are a bit old and could do with a change.

We only stay one night , which was fine . And would stay again as it was easy to get to and fro
Had a very nice meal in dining room , evening meal good location , bedrooms clean and spacious .
Had a problem with our room key , that didn’t work , but we were given a deduction in the price so at least it was rectified ,

Insgesamt war es ganz gut.
Das Hotel ist gegenüber einem Park und dem Fluss Cam gelegen. Es hat einen Innenhof. Dadurch war es nachts ruhig. In 15 Minuten war man zu Fuß im Zentrum.
Unser Zimmer lag direkt unter dem Dach - die Toilettenspülung funktionierte nicht gut, so dass mehrmaliges Spülen mit schlechtem Ergebnis notwendig war. Das Schiebefenster hielt nicht gut, bei 30 Grad war es auch nachts ohne Klimaanlage sehr heiss. Der im gesamten Hotel mit Teppich ausgestattete Boden war nicht sauber, Krümel u.a. auch im Essbereich- die vom Personal auch vom Tisch auf den Boden gewischt wurden & dort liegen blieben.

Hotel is in need of a refurbishment
The location is excellent with just a short walk to the city centre and there is parking
The hotel is tired and needs updating. It was extremely hot during our stay there is no air conditioning or fans in the rooms

This is not a hotel that meets 3* standard. Avoid!
The location was good. We were able to easily walk in to the centre and along the river. The view from the room was lovely, overlooking the park and the river
As other reviews have stated, the whole hotel is worn and in need of an upgrade, with the exception of the atrium on the ground floor, but I was quite shocked at the degree of wear and general grubbiness of seats, carpets, walls etc. The room was not clean, with the exception of the bedding. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and the room had a very unpleasant musty/drains smell, which was even worse in the bathroom. While I understood that there was no lift, I didn't expect to be on the third floor. Carrying luggage up and down a very narrow staircase, with stairs that were very worn and uneven, was dangerous. The parking charges were expensive and the information about it on their and your website is ambiguous at best. Check in was from 3pm and check out at 10.30am. It transpired that the £18 we paid for parking only covered us for that period, after which we had to pay and additional £2.50 an hour. This is not clear from the information provided. The majoritu of people arriving in the evening would be expecting to go out around Cambridge for the following day and would expect to be able to leave the car without additional charge. Also, your website states parking is £18 per day, theirs states £18 per night - both are ambiguous compared to the reality. There was no air conditioning in the reception area or the bedroom. Granted it was particularly warm during our stay, but I can't imagine that the airlessness we experienced would be acceptable in most of the Summer months Some of the staff were pleasant, but the Residential Manager, who I would describe as a smiling brick wall, was very unhelpful when I tried to complain to her about the room and parking. She showed zero empathy, was unapologetic and offered no solution to the problems raised.
