- Fernando (9/5): -
- David (7/5): - Handy for town centre or local shops and restaurants Road could get noisy at night

- Paul (6/5): Cambridge stay - Good location
Nice to have tea, milk , bread provided for us
Parking Apartment was too hot, despite heating being off
Also, it was a little tired. Stains on tables and lampshades, noisy bathroom fan, sticky tape marks on a number of the window frames. Things that should be simple to remedy.
Sofa plus 1 armchair provided, neither very comfortable.
We've stayed in other apartments from same provider which were much nicer. Wouldn't put us off using provider again, but they do need to keep on top of some of the basics .
- Michelle (10/5): An excellent comfortable stay. - It is a perfect place to stay with friends or family. A proper home from home in a quiet location and easy to get to all the attractions in Cambridge. The check out time of 10am is quite early. 11am or later would have been better.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Dominic (8/5): Quiet roomy apartment 2km from city centre - Quiet location with balcony.
Clean, really well equipped, spacious, nice bathrooms - we had 2 room apartment.
Underground parking (@ £10 per day extra)
Courtesy bottles of water and food on arrival was nice Broken socket in 1 bedroom
Shower leaking at shower head
So not much really..
Aircon would have been nice - but it was hot when we were there
- Louise (9/5): Great host, lovely apartment, would recommend. - Home from home, everything I needed throughout the stay was provided.
Some nice treats and littles essentials provided too.
- Llinos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jill (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment has everything we needed and more, was so comfortable and clean . It was very peaceful and the walk into the city along the river was beautiful.
- Michelle (10/5): Fantastic - Everything was fantastic, we would definitely consider staying there again N/a
- Helke (9/5): Superb -
- Jenny (10/5): Brilliant accommodation with added bonus of welcome pack . - Spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything you needed. The welcome pack was over and above what we expected . They thought of everything. N/A
- Adrian (8/5): Nice place - happily stay there again. - Good place to stay not far from the centre of Cambridge. The apartment was clean and well equipped. The host met me at the property to hand over the keys and explained the access codes etc needed. Covered parking on the ground floor with a space next to the entrance door was good. Decent pub ~3mins away. It was extremely hot in the property and even after having turned down all 3 thermostats and the heated towel rails, the boiler ran continually. Had to turn the boiler off in the end. Not a huge problem, just not very eco-friendly.
- Ann (8/5): Love the welcome and ability to talk to CityVie. The accommodation is of a nice standard. - Clean & light, nice location, excellent as it was so close to our sons apartment 👍 It needs a little refresh, not a lot.
The bed is really low for me (must be getting old!)
- Rich (9/5): Home from home - Superb flat near the river. Lovely staff. Home from home. No real problems. Couldn't link telly to internet. Need to ring them one hour before you arrive.
- Georgia (9/5): Clean, spacious. well equipped apartment - Well equipped and comfortable apartment with parking, 2 double bedrooms and 2 lovely bathrooms. Friendly and helpful management team who were very accommodating, especially as it was a very late booking. Great welcome pack. A little bit further from town than would have preferred. About 30 mins walk to centre.
- John (10/5): - Nice clean apartment within walking distance of Cambridge
- Junye (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Clean, spacious, comfy, everything we needed Nothing really
- Roisin (10/5): We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again. - Clean, nice location. Lovely apartment with an added bonus of the lovely welcome pack and huge fluffy towels. maybe including bus timetable into city centre
- Fraser (8/5): Very good -
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amber (8/5): Very good - Nice space and comfortable beds. The location was what we wanted as well. We were given the wrong password for the WiFi (the posted password was missing a letter). We tried numerous contact methods within about 30 mins of check-in to request assistance, but nobody answered and we received no contact or help until the next day. Very strange that this wasn't caught and corrected before us.
Also, upon arrival we found out about issues with the lift. There were notices posted next to all the lift doors, however we were not warned about these issues prior to arrival (I understand these issues can happen, but we should be informed about them immediately and offered reasonable accommodations if required). I specifically chose this booking due to it advertising the stay being completely accessible. Luckily my partner's mother was able to walk well enough to make it up the stairs very slowly, but this was a very unpleasant welcome to us.
- Paul (7/5): Great location - The lady who met us was very helpful I thought it could have been a little cleaner
- Matthew (9/5): Superb -
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martyn (9/5): Superb -
- David (4/5): Disappointing. too far from the heart of Cambridge. - The location was advertised as being near the heart of Cambridge. The reality was that it was atlas 2km from the centre!
- Abida (9/5): Excellent place to stay in Cambridge, great hosts. Would highly recommend. - Great property, everything you need and the hospitality was excellent. The staff were super helpful responding to any queries and help needed. Facilities were also lovely and comfortable. A little bit far out, would be better with a car.
- Hannah (8/5): Very good -
- Lynda (10/5): Exceptional - Clean apartment. Very quiet both day and night. A real home from home. Nothing!
- Laurence (9/5): Superb - The process and meeting were well organised, and even when I made mistakes later, people were understanding and accommodating.
- Joy (8/5): Very good - Space in the apartment.
Location was great
Secure parking was good Confusion over parking being included in the price of the stay in the apartment. Took numerous exchanges with Citystay representatives to get agreement on this and that despite my booking confirmation stating that parking was included
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (9/5): Superb - Location was great. The place was very clean. the kitchen could use a few more pans to cook with. Also a few basic spices for cooking with would be nice. There was a saltshaker, but no salt in it. No pepper. No other spices.
- Dubel (10/5): Exceptional - Important balcony
- Heidi (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The apartment was stunning in modern design and tidy presentation. I didn't want to leave!
The balcony is a bonus and on a Sunday morning you can hear the Chapel bells ringing from the centre.
The beds were very comfortable and there was a small single room off the main bedroom. So could have been counted as three rooms. Two shower/bathrooms and fresh, clean towels.
I love the decor and communication with CityStay was excellent. I would definitely book here again. Furthermore, this apartment was close to the centre of Cambridge.
Thank you again for great accomodation !
- Peter (10/5): - Fantastic apartment near the railway station. All mod cons, 2 bedrooms and reserved parking in a garage below the apartment block. A lot of attention to detail, including breakfast supplies and snacks. Nearby there are several cafes. A bit of a walk into Cambridge, but buses go from the station. Really enjoyed this stay!
- Verified traveler (2/5): Dangerous/injured - one bedroom's bed has legs that protrude outward under a quilt creating a hidden safety hazard. I tripped on the protruding hidden leg, damaged my knee badly, went to the emergency room and completely wrecking our trip. 2 weeks later I have seen an orthopedic surgeon, had fluid drained from my knee, and still cannot bend my leg. Management was notified and did not even acknowledge the concern or suggest they would fix this dangerous condition. Stay here at your own risk.
- Josh (10/5): Nice Residential Setting - Excellent staff who welcomed us and explained the various features of the apartment very well. The small collection of groceries was a great extra. The place is a first rate 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with a large balcony. I plan to stay there again.
