“Lovely stay in heart of Cambridge”
+Great location, just a short walk into the heart of Cambridge. Check in easy, just visit the Porter's Lodge. Really quiet when we stayed, so had a great night's sleep. Awesome breakfast in the main hall, a better standard than any hotel ive been to, very impressed!! Rooms clean and the grounds immaculate. Do note there is no carpark, the main one is about a 10 minute walk away, but is 24hr. Would highly recommend.

+The staff were amazing and the grounds beautiful. Really secure accommodation feels very safe. Room well laid out and wonderfully clean
−.. The bed was a bit too soft for my taste. The location in terms of grounds is wonderful but the main road is very busy with people leaving the pubs so lots of shouting and cars racing.not the fault of the accommodation

“Nice big room, great location but too hot !!”
+Nice big room, clean & well equipped in a very good location.
−The rooms have no air conditioning and windows that don't open much. As it was hot summer weather, this made for a sweaty uncomfortable night's sleep. Fans had been requested after checking in and realising the issue, but we were told flat out that no fans were available and the place was fully booked so we couldn't be moved to a cooler room. It was obvious that the place wasn't fully booked but we didn't feel at ease to call out this fib. Anyway, we went back to complain when we couldn't sleep in the night and a more understanding person did try to locate fans in housekeeping storage but couldn't gain access. Housekeeping eventually delivered a fan to the room the next morning. This made the heat in the room more bearable but the lack of fresh air meant the fan was mostly recycling warm air within the room., A real shame, as this let down what would have otherwise been a great experience.

“Bien et fonctionnel pour un séjour court.”
+Bien placé entre la gare et le centre de Cambridge. Jolis bâtiments. Chambre propre.
−Le lit est petit et les fenêtres ne sont pas insonorisées : on entend les gens marcher sur les graviers.
