Get what you pay for
Room was freezing on arrival though warmed up relatively quickly. Antiquated plumbing made noise throughout the night. Still a cheap place to get your head down for a night

Have stayed here many times before, could do with a little updating, modernisation etc, but apart from that, clean quiet and comfortable. We would absolutely stay there again!

Decent family run hotel.
Receptionist was helpful and swopped our room for a groundfloor accessible room. Room was a bit dated, but clean and tidy. There is an onsite Chinese restaurant, we had prebooked elsewhere, but it looked (& smelt) good. Very handy for Addenbrookes & good parking.

This hotel is cheap and cheerful. If you want the Dorchester then pay Dorchester prices. It's a tad worn in places but it's clean with good friendly staff.

Great place to stay in Cambridge.
Lovely welcome. Efficient check in. The room was immaculate and looked newly refurbished. Quiet. Very comfortable bed. And with the benefit of delicious food in the Chinese restaurant below, with excellent staff. Thank you! Near Addenbrookes hospital and also near city centre, on a good bus route for both. Parking at the rear.
