My wife and I stayed for one night. This used to be a regular haunt but my work hasn't brought me in this direction for a number of years. I was pleased to see it was as pleasant and friendly as I remembered from previous stays. Although we arrived early (necessitated by an appointment elsewhere) the receptionist was accommodating and... More

I stayed 3 nights at Helen Hotel. I was disappointed and irritated: - On arrival, the receptionist was efficient, but not very welcoming - The first thing I noticed in my room was that the curtain was half hanging off and there were holes in the net curtain - I tried to make myself a coffee but the lead for...

We spent one night at the Helen Hotel while visiting a friend in Cambridge. We chose the hotel because 1) we thought it was near her college, but it wasn't--our fault! --2) because it had free parking for our rental car, and 3) it was affordable. In the end, there wasn't anything wrong with this hotel, but there wasn't anything... More

Stella and her husband were the perfect host and hostess. They could not do enough for you. The breakfast you receive every morning was delightful and so were the girls that work there. They always had a friendly greeting for you with a beautiful smile on their faces. The work that they did was immaculate. They clean the rooms daily... More

I had a need for a bed for one night and breakfast in the morning and Helen filled that need. No thrills, no frills, tiny but it was close to the train station and clean. I had a meeting and being that Cambridge is a university town it was difficult to find 4 star type accommodation close to the business... More

Location wise this hotel was perfect as is only a couple of minutes walk from The Junction so no taxis required. However, our double room was incredibly small (more like a single with a double bed crammed in) and looked and smelled tired. Shower room had cracked floor tiles and cracks in the wash basin, and the shower had black... More

Stayed here for on lengthy reviews but feel this hotel deserves a detailed mention: Location - On a main road, but a quiet, safe area near the railway station.Plenty of car parking places. Bit of a walk into the centre, but a regular bus service. Room - large ensuite room with modern attractive furniture.Excellent range of room facilities including wardrobe,chest,... More

I have stayed in a number of guest houses / hotels in Cambridge over the years and this is probably one of the better ones that I have found. I was only staying for one night to see friends so just wanted somewhere near their house and fairly central if I needed to walk back from the City. There will... More
