Delightful hotel, with a great breakfast right near the centre of Cambridge.

Perfect city centre location. Characterful concept and design. Friendly and helpful staff. Spotlessly clean. Fabulous shower.

The room I stayed in was unfortunately inaccessible by the elevator, which posed a challenge for me, especially when I had a heavy bag. I couldn't help but feel guilty as the workers kindly assisted me with my luggage. Moreover, the sound insulation in the rooms seemed inadequate, as I could hear noises from neighboring rooms as if the occupants were physically present with me. Even the slightest disturbance, such as housekeeping dropping something in the adjacent room, resulted in a knocking sound that startled me awake on numerous occasions during the night.

The staff are amazingly helpful and supportive. I faced an issue with my AC and they fixed it remotely, this doesn’t even happen in a five star hotel !

Having to pay £22 for breakfast on top of £250+ for the room

The service in the hotel restaurant. The waiter was great but the general manager and service in the restaurant was below standard for the price.

Location was great, rooms were lovely and great bathroom

The carpets were a bit stained and the room was very cold

The pillows were exceptional and the bed was very comfortable.

Not allowed the dog in the dining room even for breakfast, despite purporting to be a dog friendly hotel

Like most hdv hotels, a really lovely building and gorgeous rooms. Good food and ambience.

Nothing not to like as far as we were concerned

Very good location for attractions in Cambridge. Staff very polite and so helpful. Large spacious room newly decorated and spotlessly clean. We will definitely use this lovely hotel again when we next visit Cambridge

The staff aren’t the nicest kind, especially ladies at the check in weren’t very welcoming. You will feel hesitant to ask for information as if it is a burden. The gentleman at the check out was a lot kinder.

The hotel is walking distance to many attractions, including punting. The room had cute little tub, also a shower, and the heated floor was very cosy.

Room above our bed very noisy someone running up and down stairs more like room for staff the way door kept being thrown shut

Noisy ventilation system in room even when turned off. Curtains were very thin and outside lights shone through. No coffee or tea in the room - reception organised complimentary coffee from the bistro. Parking is tricky.

Great location and generally a smart HDV

The water was INCREDIBLY hot, dangerously so. There was also the constant noise of a generator or something outside all night

Generally excellent, overall. It's our absolute go-to when we come to Cambridge

Slightly noisy generators/fans

Gorgeous room, beautiful bathroom

A little shabby in some respects - time for a fresh coat of paint throughout and a refurb here and there

Reliable and convenient old-style hotel with friendly and helpful receptionist

Stayed in March 2024

Staff were not particularly welcoming and seemed disinterested. Hotel smelt of fags and is need of modernisation. Price was twice what you would pay for such a venue

Room was very comfortable and location was ideal

The breakfast was Ok but not fantastic. Well, actually the continental breakfast was very good but the cooked breakfast was just OK. For such an amazing hotel, I think it needs looking at. The staff at breakfast were brilliant though.

The room was gorgeous and the hotel is very central- so easy to get around Cambridge. The hotel is just lovely and we enjoyed the cellar bar

Parking is a bit of faff. Paid meters etc.

Basement bar is cool. Breakfast was great. Cosy boutique hotel.

One lady at reception was not that accommodating to my small requests and had to ask to get bedding replaced as it was slightly dirty.

Very interesting rooms! Mine had a well in the floor and a very nice bathroom. Breakfast is great with hot food menu and a buffet. The bar downstairs is also a hidden gem with good drinks.

The location is very ideal. I have a lot of meetings in the City Centre and then a number out at West Cambridge. All are easy to get to from here.

Check-in and out - all staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable with all the extras you needed.

On our first morning the breakfast was a bit disappointing (we've been here before and were wowed!). One of my poached eggs was broken, and both cooked breakfasts were stone cold (which made my husband's scrambled eggs leathery and unpleasant. The second morning was fine though - the same dishes were really good. A downside to the location is no parking, and as I waited with my luggage for my husband to pick up the car - I saw the car of another couple parked for a few minutes to collect luggage from another establishment receive a parking ticket!

A pleasant room with good facilities. The breakfast was expensive but good and the location superb!
