Value for money. The host was polite. The room & the private bathroom were comfy and clean. Happy that there was a sink and fridge in my room. The complimentary breakfast was great. Overall, it was a nice comfortable stay of 2 weeks. Tbh the lower rating of the accommodation is unjustified. Located on the outskirts of Cambridge but, well connected to the city centre with bus no. 7. The location is quite peaceful, close to the countryside and open fields.

We received a very warm welcome from Bianca. She made sure we had everything we needed and showed us the breakfast room and our room. We were delighted to find it spotlessly clean, perfectly adequate for the price and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast had a large choice catering for all visitors.

We really disliked the awful reviews this hotel has received. Very very unfair and we can only surmise that these come from disgruntled neighbours. If so, shame on you. There should be more welcoming hotels like this one, not less

Location is great, nice leafy green area. Our room had a dual aspect looking out onto the field and car park behind. Would stay again as great value for money, close enough to drive into the centre.

Breakfast was a cold buffet of melon, yoghurt, salad, ham, cooked carrots? with toast and cereal, hot drinks. Very strange selection but fine as it was included in the price. Would have been nice to know that there was a fridge in the dining room that customers could have put food and drinks in labelled.

I stayed two nights while visiting friends and family. Hotel offers exceptional value for the area, and the room (a budget single) was unexpectedly large! Breakfast was basic, but adequate. Private bathroom was two steps over the corridor and although a little cramped, was spotlessly clean.

The Hotel was very helpful in offering me a late check in. Unfortunately the instructions given with the room key led me to climb several flights of stairs looking for a room that was on the ground floor!

Plenty of free parking at the rear of the hotel. Good sized rooms, friendly staff, decent facilities including a kitchen-ette for guests to use out of hours (toaster / kettle / fridge - freezer / tea / coffee ect). . Breakfast foodstuffs provided as part of the booking - toast / cereal / juices and a continental selection.

All good. 2 star hotel, but IMO what a 3 star would be like... 😊

Very handy location for getting my husband to Papworth Hospital for his operation. The room was small but warm and clean with a good shower and nice fluffy towels. There was a good amount of parking at the rear. Breakfast was simple but adequate with good choice of cereals, toast, brioche buns, jams, marmalade, yoghurt and savoury selection.

A kettle in the room would have been useful as I brought coffee sachets & a flask. Managed to use the kettle in the breakfast room though so thanks for that.

Stayed here while visiting a friend in Addenbrookes Hospital and so expectations were not high. The property was conveniently positioned for that purpose and all that was wanted was a bed for the night. With this in mind, it very much fitted the bill and the value for money was exceptional - a quarter of the cost of Premier Inn!

Nothing to complain about.

Friendly and helpful staff. The room was spaceous and clean and I also had my own shower/toilet room next door. The food arrangements were very good - the "breakfast room" was available all day and night, so you could make hot drinks and heat up food in the microwave, or make toast. Bread, breakfast serials and jam were made available. The hotel is outside Cambridge, but on the bus route, though I chose to walk along the river, via Granchester.

No complaints

The staff was pleasant and accommodating. The privacy, beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, drinking water available, and parking. The price was reasonable, the area was accessible to catch busses and taxi on reasonable time. In all I had a good stay.

After two weeks the breakfast was becoming boring the same things every morning.
