The Waterman

Just as other reviewers said- staff were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and the quality linen and fluffy towels were an added bonus. A pleasant 15 minute walk through parks to get to the town centre.

It is on a busy road, but the double glazing helped soften the traffic noise.

Great pub and cafe next door with a lovely breakfast. Room was clean with stylish decoration. Staff were great and very welcoming.

Parking was a bit of an issue but if you time it right, you can park outside with the on-street pay parking. Wish we'd worked out the windows too; bit noisy in the night with bin lorries and so on but we hadn't realised the top windows were open.

This is a wonderful small hotel next to the Cam and within an easy walking distance to the centre of Cambridge. It is also basically next to a stop with the bus going to the main train station. The room with bathroom was small but cosy, cleaned daily and very comfortable bed. The interiors were obviously designed with a loving eye. A highlight was the pub downstairs for burgers and beer and the little café serving affordable and delicious breakfast.

The only thing which could be improved is recommendations on bicycle rentals (which is stated on their website). The staff googled bicycle rentals when asked and came up with a place very far from the hotel- in the end we found a good place nearby after our own search.
