Cambridge hotellit lähellä Whipple Museum of the History of Science

Plussat: Excellent staff Excellent breakfast

Miinukset: Poor design of room No parking No view

Plussat: Excellent room and breakfast.

Miinukset: A wider selection of drinks in the hotel lobby would have been good.

Plussat: Excellent location close to historic centre of Cambrige with its famous colleges, Kings College Chapel and punting on the Cam.

Miinukset: Breakfast room located outside the hotel itself, albeit in a building immediately adjacent. You still have to go outside to get to breakfast - annoying on cold, wet or snowy mornings.

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, comfortable rooms. Lovely bathroom. Very enjoyable stay.

Miinukset: The much trumpeted "excellent views" were a bit of a damp squib, though. We had a "Senior Fellows" room on the 2nd floor and had an excellent view directly into... the communal kitchen area of Jesus College's undergrad block, some ten yards opposite. The floor-to-ceiling glazing just left us feeling a bit exposed.

Plussat: Good balcony .excellent aspect on a clear day

Miinukset: No car park.not many tv channels.king room bed only 5 ft wide.I thought would be much wider

Plussat: Varied choice for breakfast with a pleasant view out onto the river cam. Conveniently situated for the Fitzwilliam, Kettles Yard and shops.

Plussat: The room was lovely and the facilities within it were fabulous. The view over Cambridge was great

Miinukset: Having to go outside for breakfast was odd. The lack of a hotel bar or place to meet was a bit strange too. I also think the staff serving breakfast seemed a bit amateurish. It wasn't very clear how things worked and no-one explained.

Plussat: I was held up for three hours in Customs at Heathrow and advised staff that I would not make the first night of a four night stay. They were not helpful in assisting me in finding another Hilton. I specifically was told by the clerk on check out that I would not be charged for the missed night, but discovered that indeed I have been charged and I am writing sepaerately for a refund. Staff in the bar treated me like a vagrant beaucse my room was not ready and I only had casual clothes. It was only when I put my expensive suit on that I received decent service.

Plussat: Staff were friendly and professional. Location was excellent. Extremely comfortable with excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Ideal location in the center, excellent breakfast, hotel has been fully updated, Internet access is now included/free, the staff was very friendly. I have stayed a handful of times over the past 3-4 years and feel it has been improving. Definitely my first choice when traveling to Cambridge

Plussat: So pleasant and enjoyable!

Plussat: The helpfulness of the staff at Reception was very high. I have an accident with my glasses and needed selotape and a pair of scissors. This was produced very quickly. Directions to a local restaurant was also quickly provided together with a large scale map.

Miinukset: Quality of the breakfast can be better.

Plussat: Pleasant, helpful staff

Miinukset: Slowish service in the restaurant

Plussat: very nice staff, extremely good value for money

Plussat: Lovely room , the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on in a hotel. Valet parking was excellent. Great location next to shops and restaraunts

Miinukset: Nothing of note

Plussat: The staff were all extremely pleasant and friendly. The room was very large and comfortable and the breakfast was yummy! It is the best possible location for a theatre break as Cambridge Arts and the Corn Exchange are both a very short walk away.

Plussat: Huoneessa on tilavat vuoteet, jääkaappiin mahtuu hyvin omia syömisiä. Hotellista löytyy saunat. Aamiaisella on todella monipuolinen tarjonta. Vastaanotossa oli aina henkilökuntaa.

Miinukset: Olin tulostanut vain suomenkielisen varauksen, josta ei ollut välittynyt hotelille aamiaisen kuuluminen varauksen hintaan. Hotelli ei hyväksynyt googlen käännöstä varauksesta. Tuotti ylimääräistä vaivaa hankkia kaupungilta pääte jonka kautta sain virallisen version varauksesta.

Plussat: Very friendly staff

Miinukset: Carpets require cleaning in the room. General decor needs refreshing, looks tired and slightly grubby.

Plussat: Valet Parking

Plussat: Staff were pleasant and helpful Room spacious and facilities good Nice touch to have the magazines to read and the luxuries in the bathroom

Miinukset: The lighting in the room was poor - one light inbetween the beds was totally inadequate if you wanted to read in bed - room too dark - an additional standard lamp would have been better. The website indicated that the hotel was near to the Aracde Car Park, giving the impression it was easy to park - in fact it was not. When we arrived the car park was full and we had to spend an age trying to find parking facilities and then walk with our luggage to the hotel. The price also for parking was ridiculous - our main objective during our stay was to drive away from Cambridge each day to stay out of the city as long as we could knowning that when we did return the cost of parking would be far too high. Not something we had bargained for.

Plussat: Proximity to the event I was going to.

Miinukset: Staff not great or particularily welcoming.

Plussat: A very good hotel in most respects.Receptionists very good and helpful.

Miinukset: â£15 to park a car is a little naughty. Staff 'waiting' at breakfast could be shown how to smile at customers, which creates a welcome atmosphere, and costs the hotel nothing (I may be being a little 'picky' on this!)

Plussat: Fabulous croissants and really friendly staff

Miinukset: Wireless didn't work but seemed to be a temporary problem

Plussat: the breakfast table was set out nicley and there was an appetising selection of fresh foods for breakfast. the bed has a mattress topper which made it much nicer thatn the beds of other hotels

Miinukset: The toilet that i shared with 2 other rooms was very small and shower tiny. also the doors were very difficult to close quietly so quite noisy at night if anyone left their room. Also the smoke alarm was set off by guests eating toast and it too a while to rouse the number on the fire charts and luckily one of the guests worked out how to turn off the alarm- all a bit too exciting for 1.30 and difficult to fall asleep after.

Plussat: The hotel was perfect for me since it was in walking distance to everything. I had to make a desicion between sharing a bathroom and being close to the city centre for the money I wanted to spend. I made the right choice. I never saw anyone using the bathroom at the time I needed it. Breakfast was perfect for me with fresh croissants, home made jams and fresh fruit. The room and the bed were comforatble. But best of all the free Internet was strong and allways available. Some budget hotels provide free Internet, but it doesn't always work.

Miinukset: Maybe next time I ask for a room to the back. Friday night was noisy outside my window. But for a good sleeper not much of a problem.

Plussat: Clean, modern, friendly morning member of staff who served us breakfast quietness from other people in the house, we were not disturbed by anybody coming in or out (we were on the top floor) It was nice and warm. Loved the fresh fruit offered for breakfast

Miinukset: Pass code given to get in wrong, a resident coming out let us in and had to give us the correct code traffic noise from road intrusive even though we were on the top floor No croissants or even brown bread for breakfast ..."hadn't arrived" just white sliced for toast

Plussat: Good breakfast, good location, friendly staff (when presernt but not always present, however, the independent entry system is clear). Bathroom clean, bedroom fine (but rug on bed had seen better days).

Miinukset: No staff on site after a fairly early specified time (but independent entry system did work well. But it was a bit of a pain to have to sort entry out as I was so busy with appointments). Not especially warm in my room (but tolerable). Rug on bed rather worn and needs to be replaced.

Plussat: Location of hotel. Clear instructions by e-mail on check-in procedure. Able to leave luggage before check-in and after check-out. Very good continental breakfast.

Miinukset: Room was not en suite (although I knew this in advance). Noisy bin lorries woke me rather early.

Miinukset: The Wi-Fi wasn't great. Kept going down. Didn't matter so much as I wasn't there very long really.

Plussat: Staff friendly and efficient. Made our stay a pleasure.

Miinukset: Carpets and curtains a bit worn. Not a big problem for this price point.

Plussat: Spotlessly clean; quiet; comfortable bed; good location; very good breakfast; charming staff; onsite parking!

Miinukset: Not a single thing.

Plussat: Convenient location, friendly staff.

Miinukset: A little awkward with having to check in elsewhere and then navigate down and up stairs to get to the room, but all was fine.

Plussat: Room size

Miinukset: Theres no reception. Its not a problem at all, but id like to know that before paying. I had to walk 10 minutes to take the key room in another hotel. Again: its not a prpblem if they warn you about that before deal.

Plussat: Full English breakfast. Friendly staffs.

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The common room was friendly, the food amazing, the rooms where clean and comfortable, towels changed daily, and beds turned down daily. The greatest proof of the friendly staff came from a couple who where going to the same wedding as us. Their plane was delayed, and so they got in in the middle of the night. Instead of making this a negative thing, they owner/manager was concerned that they shouldnt have to get up early for breakfast (served til 9 on the weekends) and asked them if they wanted some sandwiches made for them to pick up when they woke up. This customer service seemed to run lik the lifeblood of this B&B. Great value and great service.

Miinukset: The only thing that would have made the stay better, would have been if the bed was 10 cm broader. But I'm a big guy, so I cant fault them for that.

Plussat: Location excellent, very central. When I asked via internet for late check out they obliged and also warned me of traffic noise so I could bring ear plugs.

Miinukset: Needs a lick of paint and double glazing if you are to sleep properly (even with ear plugs!). Customer service was poor. Bar closed at 1125 even though it stated midnight and even getting a bottle of water was tricky. No remote for the tv. Tv channels mainly fuzzy. Staff sighed when I asked for help. Seemed annoyed. Tea order was wrong, food order slow. No-one spoke good English.

Plussat: The room was warm,the bed comfortable and there was plenty of hot water though the bathrooms weren't en suite.Breakfast was served until 11 am.The position in the town for facilities is excellent.

Miinukset: The staff did not speak good English.Ordinary tea ordered on arrival came as green tea and the waiter did not understand the difference. The tv had no remote and there were only 2 channels that were clear without interference.There was no clock or radio and only one small lamp making reading impossible.Because its on the main road and does not have double glazing one is constantly being disturbed making sleep difficult. The breakfast was cold which was a shame because the sausage mushroom and tomato were cooked well.There was no menu so you had to guess what the choices were or what full english or continental offered. The white toast and butter cam on the same plate as the cooked breakfast and there was no marmalade ,honey or any other conserve on offer. At 10.15 ish in the middle of my breakfast and on a cold November morning the french windows at the front were opened to allow delivery of the Greene King products,barrels of beer etc. It was absolutely freezing making a leisurely breakfast impossible The place was supposed to remain open until12am but at eleven thirty the staff had cashed up and buying a drink or getting a cup of tea was impossible. I was really glad I was only staying one night.

Plussat: The food was lovely, the staff friendly and the rooms were comfortable, well situated in Cambridge.

Miinukset: If you want to get any sleep on at Saturday, not for you, whole building vibrates with music till 3am, students on the street till 4am, road cleaners start at 5.30am, ear plugs didn't help.

Plussat: Great value, central location and top brekkie. Good coureous staff.

Miinukset: No separate entry for late return. Noisy bar but that didn't bother us on this occasion.

Plussat: good atmosphere and entertainment in bar staff were general cheerful and helpful breakfast was of reeasonable quality

Miinukset: shared bathroom

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Shared bathrooms

Plussat: Room small, clean but basic. Shared Bathroom recently refurbished. Within easy walking distance of the central colleges - no worry about drink driving, taxis etc. Didn't get back to room until 0600, slept in until 1015. Came down at about 1045 to leave and was asked whether we wanted breakfast (included) - had assumed it would have finished much earlier, but being restaurant as well, was available until 1130, so pleasant surprise, including an excellent cappuccino style coffee, which I badly needed! Polite helpful cheerful European staff more than made up for any lack of more than basic facilities.

Miinukset: No en-suite rooms and only one shared serviceable bathroom, however a second was being fitted out - a bit of a problem with a number of others probably preparing for the same night out, however in the event it wasn't a big issue at least not for us. We found it without too much difficulty, through good luck rather than good navigation (I had printed out a map) having negotiated the oneway system and roadworks. Parking in Cambridge always a potential nightmare and no hotel parking. We knew this and planned for it. Others had probably discounted this place for that reason, however in the event their loss was our gain. Unloaded in loading bay a hundred yards past hotel and then I went and parked the car about 20 minutes picturesque walk away on a residential street to west of the river for free. Didn't fancy paying ncp overnight rates! Absence of decent convenient mirrors in rooms a bit of a nuisance. I was a bit nervous about fire escape, as the place is a bit of a warren and one section of staircase was completely blocked by decorating equipment, albeit it did not appear to be part of the fire escape route. Plenty of signage, but did not appear to be illuminated, don't know whether this is required. In the event our room was quite close to an escape out onto the roof, so I was re-assured.

Plussat: Great location to City centre

Miinukset: Whilst clean etc the experience is very basic.

Plussat: The staff was courteous, rooms were kept clean, the bed was comfortable and the location was very central.

Miinukset: My stay was on a Saturday & Sunday evening when the dj & nightlife was active until after 3am (Saturday). Having a room above the bar overlooking the main street, be aware of the acoustics. The fire alarm (faulty?) also went off numerous times while there during the day. There was only one bathroom/shower available for the guests at the time (although very clean), however I believe there are plans to have another one completed soon.

Plussat: ystävällinen ja palveluhaluinen henkilökunta

Miinukset: WC:n ja suihkun sijainti käytävällä oli hankala
