Cambridge hotellit lähellä Downing College

Plussat: Excellend bedding. Helpful staff. Thanks again to the gentlemen who brought me, on request, tooth brush and tooth paste (which I had forgotten to pack).

Plussat: Very comfy beds and staff were excellent. Great location.

Miinukset: Could do with double glazed windows as traffic quite noisy. Breakfast was lovely but all items were spread around two rooms.

Plussat: The bed was extremely comfortable

Miinukset: The wet room/shower flooded most of the bathroom

Plussat: The staff were excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Friendly efficient staff who really cared about us enjoying our stay. Also ride in the 1960 Bentley was very special.

Plussat: Great & super friendly staff & great hotel

Plussat: The staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly, we could not have expected more. The location and facilities were great. Some of the food was excellent, but not all. We were disappointed with one of our evening meals, but the staff were excellent with how they managed it when we pointed this out.

Miinukset: For breakfast we both had the avocado poached eggs, there was a very unpleasant taste of the avocado, we did not mention this at the time, as it was at the end of breakfast time.

Plussat: Lovely hotel - the garden was beautiful especially at night with all the lights - wished we had stayed in the summer

Plussat: Lovely treat for our 10 year anniversary, the hotel went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable.

Plussat: I loved the atmosphere, it was so relaxing and all the staff were super friendly and always happy to help. It made my partners birthday a very special one.

Miinukset: I liked everything!

Plussat: I asked for a quiet room at reception when I checked in and they changed my allocated room without issue. The hotel has been refurbished and the quality of the decor etc is very good. Bottled water and real milk were provided in the room.

Miinukset: Small things would have made a difference. For example, I only had one English breakfast teabag in my room. The bed mattress was quite hard so not all that comfortable. The toaster in the restaurant was probably the worst I have ever used in a hotel - not what you would expect from an up-market hotel.

Plussat: Great location.

Plussat: We had stayed before the refurbishment and felt that the renovations were wonderful and the hotel had been reinvented into a contemporary place to stay.

Miinukset: We felt sad that there seemed to be a lot of homeless people especially on our walk from the hotel into the centre of town.We live in Oxford and there are many homeless there but the problem felt more accute in Cambridge.

Plussat: The location is perfect for walking around the city and was close to the college we were visiting. I forgot my toothpaste and was promptly given a toothbrush and paste by the receptionist when I asked if there was a shop nearby!

Miinukset: The restaurant can be too noisy at dinnertime.

Plussat: Bedroom was comfortable, bed excellent. Bathroom good. Staff generally friendly and reasonably helpful, particularly the chamber maids and day manager. Some of the evening staff in reception could have been a lot more helpful.

Miinukset: Not keen on decoration - too heavy, gentlemen's clubby style, rather dark. My husband had a horrible experience in the gents' loo on ground floor - no loo paper or hand towels. A couple who were visiting with us did not get their room cleaned or bed remade. Was not impressed with dinner in restaurant which was extremely noisy; tasteless, under ripe melon starter and ragu was very bland, though service was good.

Plussat: Comfy beds although too close together with little space to get out.

Miinukset: Hand basin emptied VERY slowly. Bedside lights didn't work. (There was some complicated routine which wasn't explained in the room). No biscuits to go with tea. Drink making area too dark.

Plussat: Location, service, facilities and cocktails all great.

Plussat: Beautifully appointed hotel in an ideal location

Miinukset: Restaurant food and service consistently disappointed. And £11 for a gin & tonic!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed and view plus coffee machine. Great staff service from concierge to servers to reception. Classy art with local historical connection Quality of toiletries.

Miinukset: Fridge empty. At that price a little fresh milk would be welcome. Having to call for it plain annoying ...

Plussat: Location, room, breakfast, staff.

Miinukset: Nothing. All good.

Plussat: The room was spacious warm decoration, and very comfortable stay.

Miinukset: The bed is not comfortable

Plussat: Our room, service and hospitality. The location of the hotel. We were very well taken care of.

Miinukset: There’s nothing to dislike about this hotel or the staff.

Plussat: Location and staff very friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: The pillows were horrendous and probably should have been replaced several years ago. They were completely saggy and scrunched up to nothing. The overall decor was quite tacky and had a cheap aesthetic. The Spa was a waste of time for us sadly (unfortunately steam room was broken) and the jacuzzi had a couple in that did not want to share, so we ended up going without using any of these facilities. Outside was very noisy with late night revellers and early deliveries. The restaurant ‘SIX’ fooled us by the pictures. We had booked to eat here, but upon entering it was completely soulless and the lights were so bright, including the harsh LED’s above the terrace area that you couldn’t see any panoramic views of Cambridge. Why no candles? Madness. We left to eat elsewhere. Unfortunately the morning was no better. There was a horrible ringing screeching sound which we were advised was the toaster. Not the staff’s fault but again we had to leave to eat elsewhere as it was unbearable.

Plussat: Loved the rooftop terrace, great view Th evening meal in the 6th was great Continental breakfast was good

Miinukset: The noise level in the 6th was rather high for our evening meal Our bedroom 212 on level 2 was fine but a bit dark and no view

Plussat: Staff really kind and friendly. Made my husband birthday very special , upgraded us and cake in room could not ask for a better surprise for him

Plussat: Amazing views. Great staff. Great food.

Plussat: We found that all of the staff were really helpful, especially Dario at reception who sorted out a booking problem that we had. The waiting staff were really great and made our afternoon tea go very smoothly.

Plussat: Cool Design , location great , rooms are charming, colours very well chosen, view stunning , terrace super useful and very practicable , spa and gymn next door excellent , staff charming.

Miinukset: 5th floor bedrooms are under the main restaurant so despite having a stunning view is a bit noisy as you can heard people walking on top of you in the evening and during bfast time so I recommend booking rooms on 4th floor instead

Plussat: The style is great.

Miinukset: The cooked breakfast should be included in the cost. Even cheep hotels provide a full breakfast service if the option is selected. The room cost per night is quite high so it’s difficult to justify having an additional charge for breakfast over & beyond the breakfast you e already paid for. The breakfast included amounted to vertically nothing, toast cereal coffee and juice. Measuring the breakfast experience and only the breakfast experience, I would say you’ve fallen behind your competitors and are providing less than I would expect. The bar 6 restaurant has a couple of steaks but the riverside bar out performs it for choice. Might be worth considering why is bar 6 underperforming here. Why does the Riverside have a better range of steaks to choose from.

Plussat: Spacious room and central location.

Miinukset: Worn room and bathroom could do with some attention

Miinukset: The wi-fi information, which was all about an ethernet cable, which wouldn't work with my laptop.

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. Location in hall was interesting. Not suitable for older people or disabled though. Room itself was very good although a lot of stairs and there is no lift. Bathroom is very small but adequate and had a step up to it. Clean and comfortable. Location is as central as you can get. There is a Sainsbury's less than 3 minutes walk away which is useful.

Miinukset: Staff in breakfast room were slow to fill up food. Hard to tell what you were supposed to do at times and staff unapproachable. Breakfast room has benches to sit on so if you can't handle that you might want somewhere else.

Plussat: Wonderful historic place to rest and relax excellent location

Plussat: The quietness and feeling of security

Miinukset: No dunner offered on the first night

Plussat: The college is located in the city centre with no traffic around; the appartement was nice and clean with direct view to the sky (top level under the roof); breakfast in the cantine ws very good

Miinukset: only the wooden tables in the cantine were a bit sticky like an old greasy patina (everything else was very clean)

Plussat: Fabulous location

Miinukset: Bathroom a bit small

Plussat: Fresh fruit options were plentiful

Miinukset: A second blanket would have been nice

Plussat: Location location location - central to everything. The building and grounds were sublime, a medieval time warp.

Miinukset: The single bed was only just big enough for me . The room was clean but a bit worn out

Plussat: Exceptional location. Nice experience to be back like a student. Rooms are quick comfortable

Plussat: Excellent location and accommodating staff

Miinukset: The breakfast was so expensive and below average quality

Plussat: They accommodated our request for another room, and the room we settled on was great.

Miinukset: We left a hairdryer in our original room, and it took days to retrieve it.

Plussat: GREAT customer services upon arrival & at point of departure.

Miinukset: Restaurant unavailable, understand why, however, the same level of service was comprised by attempting to continue to accommodate guests in the bar.

Plussat: Great location, easy access to city ceter

Miinukset: Room was in the attic with small window therefore the room was rather dark

Plussat: The hotel was very nice and my bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I ate in the Bistro - the staff were excellent

Miinukset: I was very disappionted in the food in the Bistro - I will not eat there again. I ordered 'cuts of meat' which was a single sausage and gerkins - I expected a variety. I also ordered the steak hache expecting it to be a little more tasty and less bland and plain than it was, the salad was non existant and the sauce was not nice.

Plussat: Hotel de charme close to the city center, staff very kind, cosy room, the bar offers a remarkable quantity of wines

Miinukset: The croissants at breakfast

Miinukset: Watch out for rooms where the bathroom has no door

Plussat: Clean with velvety comfort. Many quirky nooks and crannies to explore. Well equipped room with very tempting minibar, stocked with more than the usual treats. Proper bath to slump in following a night on the town. Staff were attentive and always helpful. The waiter at breakfast (which was perfectly prepared) was straight from a Disney feature on fine dining in a continental castle.. All sounds a bit rich, but we did enjoy it!

Miinukset: No dislikes
