Guest Reviews

• Lisa (8/5): - Very spacious room and great breakfast Booking.com stated that reception was open until 10pm. I called ahead and confirmed this as I was running late. Arrived at 9.15 and had to walk to another hotel to retrieve my key.
• Jan (8/5): Excellent location, staff great, comfortable bed and good hearty breakfast - Location was excellent, clean and tidy, everything you would like parking available room size adequate for what we needed Quite tired looking, but comfortable, Only issue in our room was tv on side wall so couldn’t watch when in bed, not that we did,
• Chris (7/5): - Free parking, easy to get too town. Room comfortable. Breakfast was a bit cold as obviously been sitting around a bit.
• Laurens88 (7/5): - Goede uitvalsbasis naar de stad. Leuke wandeling door Jesus Green park. Is echt nodig aan onderhoud toe. Gordijntje op de badkamer waar de schimmel in zat, de kozijnen waren hoog toe aan een likje verf. En ook de badkamer was sterk verouderd. Het werkt allemaal wel, maar het algehele gevoel van luxe is daardoor wel minder. Ook aan de buitenkant ziet het er niet erg gezellig uit.
• Anthony (8/5): Great location in a good and value for money hotel. - Excellent breakfast very good service. Reception staff friendly and accommodating. The hotel needs a little uplift, appreciate this is an old and rambling building.
• Sandra (10/5): Good - Good Nothing
• Sandra (5/5): Basic hotel, rooms in need of updating. Conveniently located for the city. - Convenient location for visiting the city. Plenty of space in the car park Our room was cold, heating did not appear to be on. I left a message with the Arundel house hotel as advised in the hotel information as no reception staff on duty in Ashley hotel in the morning. This message was not passed on. When we returned to the hotel, the bed had not been made and the room was still cold. The receptionist had not been informed of the problem but said he would contact the engineer. We had a brief period when the heating appeared to be coming on but it was short lived and the room remained cold. Bathroom was tired, basic shower. Breakfast was disappointing, very dry scrambled eggs.
• Khosla (9/5): -
• Simon (7/5): -
• paul (8/5): - Good location and car parking included so easy bus journey into city . nice little wine bar round the corner -Thirsty.
• Şirin (8/5): -
• Barbara (9/5): Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt - Die Lage ist perfekt, nahe der Innenstadt, aber ruhig gelegen
• Petra (10/5): Optimale Lage, freundlicher Service, guter Komfort. - Sehr gute Lage für Autogäste, kostenloser Parkplatz direkt hinter dem Hotel, welcher auch am Abreisetag noch ganztägig benutzt werden darf. Zimmer ist schallisoliert, super sauber. Frühstück sehr gut. Personal sehr freundlich. Nichts.
• Jolanda (8/5): - Heerlijk ontbijt met super vriendelijke gezellige bediening Niets
• Terry (8/5): Very nice place - Location was good short walk to Jesus Park and the city centre Not a great selection for breakfast , plus the hotel needs two staff on in the morning serving breakfast especially when full as when one member of staff working it's a long wait for food
• Philippe (5/5): Hôtel vieillot - L'emplacement et le personnel du petit déjeuner. Le parking. La douche qui inonde la salle de bain. Le chauffage ne fonctionne pas. Couloirs et escaliers étriqués où il faut balader nos bagages. Beaucoup moins net et frais que sur les photos. Fenêtres sales. La radio hors service. La télé minuscule.
• Marie (8/5): -
• David (9/5): Comfortable, quiet and convenient - Lovely spacious, quiet and comfortable room at the front of the hotel. Very convenient parking. Good breakfast. I actually rather liked some of the very old-fashioned things in the room (a radio in the bedside cabinet, for example. Genuine retro! Very happy overall.
• Moore (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel is perfectly located, so we could leave the car and go off for the day,even on our leaving day. Our room was clean and cosy,great after a day of walking everywhere. There is even a shop opposite for us to buy snacks. We would definitely stay here again. Cobwebs behind the radiator in the bathroom
• rob (7/5): Well worth it - Great carpark, friendly staff. Good breakfast. Quite quiet and handy location depending on your itinerary. Room has tea, coffee, wardrobe, tv, shower etc. It's a little shabby but clean. Wifi wasn't great.
• Corina (8/5): sehr empfehlenswert und gemütlich - Nettes gemütliches Hotel, großer Parkplatz kostenfrei, gut fußläufig zum Stadtzentrum, ruhige Lage
• Sandie (8/5): -
• mikeym618 (8/5): Great stay in Cambridge - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were lovely, breakfast was very good and location was perfect. The hotel looked as though it needed a coat of paint but otherwise great.
• David (10/5): lovely time all round - Very easy to park and a lovely breakfast, room was clean and tidy, nice place nothing
• Nick (8/5): Recommend hotel. - Good parking, clean, spacious room and decently located near to shops and restaurants. Polite efficient staff. It’s fine. No issues and would happily stay there again.
• mnwrvh89wt (8/5): Closes to the town centre - Had a nice stay at the hotel. Close to where we went around. Breakfast was good. I did not hear much noise as it was not a busy road where its located.
• Kathryn (10/5): - Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Great location for the boathouses. The shower was partly broken and the carpet had seen better days.
• Gemma (8/5): -
• Zulekha (8/5): Perfect for a 1 night stay . - The family room was very comfortable for 3 adults sharing. Comfortable beds and very clean room with all usual necessary bits required for a short stay. The reason we went for this property instead of the usual trusted bigger chains was for many reasons such as closeness to city centre attractions, free parking, good value for money and the previous reviews mentioned Jan - who looked after us during breakfast service. Thank you Jan - you make all the difference to this hotel's good customer service. Bathroom in room 9 needs better ventilation but running hot water, mixer taps , shower etc all worked perfectly fine.
• Vicky (5/5): -
• Breukelman (7/5): -
• andrew (10/5): Ashley hotel. - Staff were very friendly, breakfast excellent, just a lovely place to stay for the price. Bathroom needs updating, that's about it really.
• Paul Joachim (7/5): Sauber, schön, nur etwas laut. - Sehr sauber, gute Zimmerausstattung, sehr freundliches Personal, gutes englisches Frühstück. Das Haus ist extrem hellhörig. Sobald unten jemand das Haus betritt, oder im Flur telefoniert, oder ein Fenster öffnet hört es das ganze Haus. Außerdem war das Bett uns etwas zu weich, was auch zu schlechterem Schlaf beitrug.
• Petr (8/5): -
• Davide (8/5): -
• marta (8/5): -
• Maria (6/5): Por debajo de expectativas - Punto intermedio entre estación de tren y centro El baño, la habitación en sí
• DenHui (8/5): -
• BEATRIZ (6/5): - La ubicación, el desayuno muy bueno y que tiene parking gratuito La cama era incomodisima, nos tuvimos que duchar con agua fría y las instalaciones viejas
• jeremymD6150LW (8/5): Overnight stay for 2 - Excellent value in a convenient location with plenty of parking. Good customer service. Only issue was inability to turn off the radiator in Room 7 on a hot day.
• Philip (7/5): -
• Mark (8/5): - Location was very good. A 10 to 15 minute walk from the University. Free parking was provided.
• Andrew (8/5): Basic but excellent value. - Our room was indeed very quiet, and the breakfast was great, which made it even better value for money. The location was perfect for us as we were visiting a friend round the corner and, more generally, it was a pleasant walk beside the river into the city centre. Our room, especially the shower/basin/toilet room, was cramped. We had to pay a £15 deposit to cover damages—I asked for it back at the end of our stay but was told it would be automatic. I still don't know if I've received it.
• Susan (8/5): Conformable Stay - Room was comfortable. Bed and linens were also very good. Parking included was a benefit. Breakfast was nice. Continental and cooked breakfast if you required it An older establishment but well maintained Water pressure a bit dismal
• Carole (9/5): -
• Peter (8/5): - Good location and nice sized room. All good .
• Caitlin (10/5): - Very clean & comfortable, good location with free parking. Good breakfast included.
• Guest (10/5): -
• Shilang (9/5): -
• j5lhmv1mck (8/5): Lovely Stay - OK, it is a bit dated, but the building has some lovely original features Generous free car parkwhich is a bonus being so nesr the City centre. Check in straight forward, room generous size, absolutely spotless, very powerful hot shower and lovely soft towels. Bright, fresh dining room, decent choice for breakfast served by the very friendly Jane/Jayne
• Bernd (8/5): -
• Shane (10/5): 1 night stay - Nice, comfortable room, shower was hot with good pressure, breakfast was great - cereal, croissants, cakes and a full English all on offer. Service was great too. Parking was a big help as we were able to come and go as we pleased and could leave the car there even after checking out. Nothing
• A7307PJjillm (10/5): Very nice hotel - OK, bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. We spent two nights in a good size room, shower was powerful, hot, and towels were lovely and soft. Bed was comfy with lovely crisp clean bedding. Breakfast is part buffet plus a cooked English breakast in a bright airy dining room. Jane or Jayne (not sure of spelling) is very friendly and looked after us very well. Add the good size car park, this hotel at this price point is a little gem within walking distance of the City.
• Nicole (10/5): Lovely place to stay , all staff were fabulous - Really comfy beds
• Moseley (5/5): Suitable for walkers! - Breakfast as expected. Room number 1 is old and scruffy, near front door and at the front on main road. You need ear plugs! Bathroom tiny, mouldy and desperately needs replacing. Toiletries minimal so take your own. Good carparking. Premises no good for disabled people at all. No access before 3pm. Bathroom shoddy.
• neilcQ3637LH (10/5): Excellent - Great location near the boathouses on the Cam and a short walk across Jesus Green to the city centre. Excellent breakfast. Nice big room with a big bay window and very comfortable bed. Convenient big car park round the back.
• Timothy (8/5): -
• mike (8/5): - Great location Needs some upgrading.
• Nikki (10/5): Large comfy rooms and wonderful staff - Lovely big rooms, friendly staff and great breakfast too It does feel a little dated- but that just adds to the charecter :-)
• darren (7/5): - Good location, good room facility although no shower, only a bath. Only a short step from the hotel room to the hotel front door. What let it all down was the breakfast. Whilst the food quality was fine, the waiting staff had a very arrogant and unfriendly attitude and demeanour. The overall dining room atmosphere was dreadful because of it. Also, the coffee was not served until the food was and despite the cereal being self service the milk wasn't and was also only served after a long time when they served the cooked food. Just really weird order of events, but the main issue was the self important arrogant breakfast staff.
• Sharon (10/5): - Great location, staff super accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was most enjoyable and I felt like I was staying in an English manor.
• Laura (8/5): - Nice breakfast. Great location near to Cambridge centre and very near to the start of the half marathon. Also nice that we were allowed to stay in the hotel car park after check out. Which is good if yr doing the half marathon.
• Beatriz (7/5): Nice stay for the price, great breakfast and free parking. However the room could receive a little bit more care regardi - It’s located at a walking distance from downtown in a quiet neighborhood. It’s great that the hotel had free parking. We stayed in the room all the way upstairs (attic) and it was quite dusty and hot. We had to open the window a little bit to get some air because the heaters were on and we couldn’t figure how to lower it. But the room had lots of spider nets and it was pretty dusty.
• Brian (4/5): -
• Vijayajayanthi (8/5): Very convenient location - The location is easy to reach the city centre by walking , alots of restaurants nearby and co op , free parking was convenient, staff was helpful. Room was basic , but clean . Bed was ok , Matress was comfortable. No complaints 😊
• christine (8/5): -
• Thomas (7/5): - Wir fanden wirklich alles sehr gut oder sogar ausgezeichnet, außer s. unten. Die Duschwände funktionierten nicht mehr richtig, in der Dusche, an der Decke und an den Fensterrahmen war leichter Schimmel.
• FERUDUN (8/5): Nice stop not very far from centre - Initally I can say that all staff we communicated with were very kind and helpful. The building was looking a bit old but it was well cared. The bed was very good. they served simple but the good quality breakfast with coffee/tea. Free parking was a plus for us. They are not very strict for parking usage. Thanks for everything. All was great for me.
• Bryan (8/5): good value - breakfast, room, parking all was ok
• Georgina (10/5): - The staff were all very nice, the rooms were spotless clean and the breakfast was really nice and plenty of choice. The location was good only 15 minutes into the centre.
• Liz (10/5): - Nice room with enough room . Shower glass screen door was a little difficult to close it seemed to catch when opening and closing . The breakfast was lovely ..best crispy bacon ever . The staff were very helpful and friendly .. Good location close enough to walk into the centre of Cambridge town .. Perfect spot Nothing we liked everything ..
• Pete (10/5): -
• Rebecca Swann (7/5): Clean, friendly and great location - The hotel is in an excellent location. We booked the eve show at the Arts Theatre and wanted to be able to walk home. The walk into town is very pleasant and only 20 minutes. The hotel is old/tried but very clean and comfortable- our room(no 5) was very large. The bathroom was small but again very clean, had tolietries and hot water. The staff were all very friendly and the breakfast was excellent. Another reason we booked here was because it had a large and free car park. The hotel needs a cash injection to decorate and generally tidy up but it is a friendly, clean hotel in a great location for the centre so doesn't really matter
• Emma (8/5): - Lovely staff and excellent location with free parking. Fantastic breakfast. The decor was somewhat dated, however it was absolutely fine.
• Emma (7/5): -
• Pearce (8/5): -
• joy (9/5): - Lovely welcome. All staff very friendly and the room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was also delicious The hotel is a bit dated but not a problem
• Louisa (7/5): Great breakfast, awful bathroom - Breakfast was great, staff were great. The shower was disgusting. The showerhead was completely covered in black mold. It looked like it had never been washed. I meant to take a picture but I forgot. You could smell the mold if you left the bathroom door open. I stayed there 2 nights but couldn’t shower. It doesn’t take much to clean a showerhead. They really need to sort it.
• Steven (8/5): -
• Michael (8/5): - Lovely cooked breakfast Steep stairs to upper brrdtooms
• Ralph Hobbs (8/5): -
• Anna (8/5): - Excellent location for walking into city centre. Good sized room, powerful and hot shower. Good choice of breakfast, plenty of coffee, very pleasant staff.
• Smith (10/5): -
• Q6221QDjonathanw (6/5): Good location. - Important - email received states check in is up to 10pm, but reception actually seems to close at 9pm. Very old/dreary room. Breakfast was good though and there's plenty of parking.
• robert (10/5): Great stay really enjoyed it - Great location nice breakfast ,great service
• David (8/5): ideaal stadshotel - De prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding is goed voor Cambridge. We waren hier met drie vrienden. Niet alle kamers waren hetzelfde qua uitrusting. Ik had een grote, gezellige kamer. Het Engelse ontbijt was goed. Je kan de auto gemakkelijk parkeren op de privé-parking, ook al kom je vroeger aan of wil je wat later vertrekken. Je kan in 20 min te voet naar het historische centrum van Cambridge. We zouden dit hotel zeker opnieuw boeken indien we terugkomen naar Cambridge.
• JohnK537 (8/5): Comfortable and and convenient place to stay for exploring Cambridge - The Ashley hotel is very conveniently placed for exploring Cambridge on foot. With It's large free car park you can arrive and unpack and collect your car again when you leave! Friendly welcome, excellent freshly cooked breakfast and comfortable bed. Fresh white bedding and a spacious room. If you can put up with the 80s/90s decor you will have a good stay!
• Philip (8/5): - A substantial breakfast was offered, the staff were friendly and engaging. The hotel is within an easy walk of the town centre. Nothing
• Alison (8/5): - The staff are so helpful and lovely, and very welcoming The hotel is a little old and dated but clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, walkable to the river and town.
• Harish (9/5): Quite happy - I went to Cambridge to run the Half Marathon. From that perspective the location was unbelievably ideal, about 200m from the event location. Also it was on the run route and my family was able to cheer for me right outside the hotel. Also, seem to have had perfectly good sleep. Adequate car parking. It was a bed and breakfast, so had to make own arrangements for other meals - maybe a microwave facility in the dining room could have helped to be able to warm up food.
• CBH (8/5): Great value - lovely hotel - friendly staff - Excellent value & great parking
• Tim (9/5): Exactly what we wanted - friendly, warm no frills - excellent - Very friendly and accommodating staff Value for money and location
• peter (5/5): -
• Herbert (6/5): Clean and comfortable, but slightly unsettling. - The hotel was very clean, and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful, and the staff friendly. Room stuffy, but windows couldn't be opened. TV in odd place so it couldn't be watched from beds. Very odd feeling having no staff there evening or night, and having to get the key card from a different hotel added a lot of extra walking to the end of a long day.
• Keith (8/5): Choice location; cheerful staff - The breakfast times were flexible and the rooms for eating were bright and clean. The breakfast ("full English" + alternatives) was nicely prepared. Above all, the staff involved at the reception, in the breakfast room and when cleaning the rooms were helpful, welcoming and consistently cheerful. (A special shout out for Jane at breakfast time, whose outgoing nature gives each guest a bright start to their day ;o) The location of the Ashley Hotel is perfect, and especially for a first time visitor to Cambridge. Parking space (during my 5-day stay) was ample, and the hotel allows visitors to leave their car for a couple of hours after check-out so that they can walk into the historic centre for last-minute shopping or sightseeing. These facilities are important, as Cambridge is a difficult city both to park and drive in! The city centre (University Colleges, etc) is a ten-minute walk along the River Cam. The area around is open and very green. Near the location of the hotel are many cafes, pubs, wine bars and restaurants offering a wide variety of food types. There is also a well-known live music venue. These establishments are - and feel - "local" compared to many similar establishments in the (much!) more touristy city centre. For first-time visitors to the UK, the plumbing arrangements work fine but might take getting used to.
• Alison (9/5): - Nice big room, comfy bed, friendly staff.
• Joanna (9/5): Friendly, comfortable and excellent value for money - Considering its relatively low price we were really pleasantly surprised. Such friendly, helpful staff and an excellent cooked-to-order breakfast. Really good location and a great night’s sleep. If you want somewhere in walking distance to the centre that offers a clean, comfortable stay, we absolutely recommend this hotel. We will definitely stay again as it is excellent value for money. Nothing.
