"Great location and lovely hotel!"

9.0

The location was very central and location was perfect for walking around Cambridge.

The windows weren’t completely blacked out so there was some light coming in throughout the night.

Location was excellent but difficult to find as the sat navigation takes you to another location

It was not made clear that parking would be charged and off-site

"Good"

5.0

The hotel is lovely and the staff are incredible - very friendly and helpful. Facilities are great - spa, gym, room service etc.

The rooms do need a good clean for example, the grout is mucky in the bathroom, a little dusty throughout, dirty finger marks on walls, doors and architrave, unclean lift, the kettle was grim, mucky windows and railing. The bath plug wouldn't open to drain the water. It's a lovely hotel it just didn't feel as clean and luxurious as the first time I stayed in it many years ago.

Great location. Sunny, helpful staff. Attractive, quiet room with great view and comfortable bed. Amazing roof top terrace.

I'm not a fan of rainfall showers (especially when the holes have begun to fir up, sending the water on tangents, and the towel is stored within range. (A bath hat is provided.) The shower is also only part enclosed, so a floor puddle is inevitable.
