Tremendous location in one of Cambridge's most affluent colleges. Views of a large area of grass and trees from my room. Fantastic buffet cooked breakfast in the historic main hall. Opportunity to wander round the other quads of the college including the historic cloisters and chapel. Also opportunity to see the landscaped gardens and various sculptures in the college. Very good security within the college grounds. The bustling streets of central Cambridge as well as the tranquil riverside were very close. Extremely quiet room. Shared bathroom facilities but all kept incredibly clean and there was always a unit available for use - i.e. no queuing needed! Very helpful and friendly staff.
Everything was excellent

The hotel is conveniently located into the historic centre of Cambridge therefore you can avoid using anything else but your feet to visit the city and reach any interesting point, anyways a parking place is very close in case you got here driving your car. The hotel facilities are inside the historic Jesus College, the building is modern and well designed and is perfectly integrated with the ancient college's estate. Rooms are quite ample with a usable balcony overlooking gardens of another college, the road below is not too noisy thanks to the fact it's in an area where traffic is limited. Breakfast is served in one of the college's refectories adorned with the portraits of former deans, or at least I believe they were ;). While going to the refectory one can admire the college's gardens and greens as well as other areas. The served breakfast is rich and varied therefore you can have a proper english breakfast eating as much cholesterol as you love (just joking) or opt for something lighter and healthier like fresh fruits, yoghourt and a cup of tea. Anyone of the staff we talked with was kind an gentle and ready to answer our questions. Travelling as parents with a 3yo baby we found this hotel really welcoming and well suited. PS I see Booking.com flags us as Dutch but we are Italian.

Location was great, we had an apartment, small 1 bedroom but nice to have a separate living space and balcony overlooking the road on to a park. Very clean and serviceable. Breakfast was a little way away but good quality and in a guests dining hall - so a good ‘uni’ experience. Lovely grounds and amazing buildings and chapel. A different experience and thoroughly enjoyable. Staff all lovely and you are part of the University with students and staff all around. Location was excellent. A 5 minute walk shops, restaurants, bars and 10 mins to the River - passing the stunning colleges and churches. Fabulous few days.
There was a lift, Jesus College does not have a glorious facade - but once you enter the grounds it’s beautiful with plenty of history and stunning buildings and chapel.

The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed. It was quiet, overlooking a pretty college Court, and was well placed for getting to points of interest. Breakfasts were good and served in lovely surroundings. It was buffet style but the staff were very helpful with my husband (walking sticks and trays are not a good combination). The luggage storage was very helpful if you arrive early or depart after check out. Overall very good value for money. The only slight negative is that there seems to be no direct access to West Court by bus from the railway station, most routes being a 5-10 minute walk away.

All the facilities you’d expect from a hotel room with the bonus of actually being in a Cambridge College. Friendly staff, good sized room, bed very comfy, great shower room, excellent wifi, and a splendid view across the court. Very relaxed atmosphere, able to wander the grounds, explore the chapel. Breakfast in the dining hall was also a bit special, just a self-serve setup but a good selection and the surroundings somewhat different from your average hotel restaurant. Would definitely stay here again.
Tiny point, but maybe another coffee machine at breakfast, bit of a queue when busy.

Really lovely welcome and goodbye the following morning from receptionist. Friendly staff at breakfast too.Very convenient location to explore town and really nice to be able to explore the grounds of Jesus college too. The room was large enough, big window, clean and a well lit shower room with a brilliantly powerful shower .The bed was very comfy.THe room was very hot but there were 2 doors opening to a juliet style balcony to allow some fresh air in Breakfast was in the great hall across the grounds , buffet style and plenty of choice. Seating at refectory style tables and overseen by portraits of the great and the good ( of Jesus College presumably) Worth noting.... its a clear your own breakfast things away off the table... its not a hotel you know!!! :-)
The room was very modern and stylish but the lighting after dark wasnt great.

Our room was spotless and had everything we needed. Infact, the whole place felt spotless and clean. Comfortable bed, tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast which was good is in the Main Hall, very Harry Potter! The booking allows access around the grounds which are lovely. Great location close to shopping, restaurants etc. Our room was super quiet overlooking the grounds. All the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. There is a facility to store luggage.
Nothing at all. The only weird thing is that there are no hooks in the bathroom, particularly there is no where to conveniently hang the hand towels so we had to use the toilet roll holder! Bit weird but nothing to put us off highly recommending this place.

It is centrally located, yet very quiet. The rooms are small but functional including coffee/tea facility. The wifi was good and quick. The Roost Café opens up at 9:00 am and is a great place for a morning cappuccino.
It was, certainly in the beginning, difficult to find my way through the college area, the signage was not good. The explanation by the reception staff was unclear. I once ended up being locked inside an otherwise open area because I could enter but the door in the fence would not open again with my room card. Breakfast is okay (English style and croissant/Danish, no bread) and the hall itself was cold and windy. Breakfast time is rather limited.

North facing room, and overlooking beautiful courtyard, ability to open 2 doors on Juliet balconies for fresh air, gauze blind as well as curtains, powerful shower, plenty of sockets and lights, very comfortable bed, quality of fittings etc. access to peaceful and beautiful college grounds.
The fire doors were exceptionally noisy (both the latches clicking and the banging of the wood itself), meaning disturbed nights. Would have been useful to have information about transport to and from station which so many people must need.

Excellent location. Although next to road still quiet. Also, I didn't here any noise from any other residents during stay. Spotlessly clean Requested a balcony room, which was provided. Room very comfortable and well appointed. Lovely shower Secure accomdation Lovely grounds Breakfast included
Breakfast could be improved. Porridge was lukewarm at best. Although hall in which breakfast served is shrouded in history, not a huge fan of its layout. That said, I do appreciate its all part of the experience and in no way would it put me off booking this hotel again.
