We'd arrived an hour early for check in, and we were told it would'nt be a proble, which was the only positive of our stay. The receptionist was boring on rude, I felt more like an intruder of her space then a guest at a hotel, the trip up to the room was an eye opener. The B&Q value laminate... More

Think this place gets a bad rap which I'm not sure it deserves. Although the room we had was small(mentioned in other reviews) it was clean with everything you need. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot. Jimmy, his family and staff were helpful, looked after us very well and provided everything extra we requested. However I would... More

This is not a hotel It doesn't even deserve to be called a guest house, because it hardly treats its customers as guests. It's a rabbit warren of miniscule rooms, continually being extended and developed so that more and more unsuspecting people can be crammed into its pokey pens at inflated prices. The facilities are pitiful, if not downright dangerous.... More

Terrible experience, even if we were lucky (in a way...). We were given a new room, everything in it had been bought a few days ago, not more. I think we avoid having an old and dirty bed/shower. Accessing the room was really scary : walking through small and dirty stairs, full of fresh paint. Yes, at 10pm a Saturday... More

Dangerous.... wires and loose wires everywhere. Cracked ceilings, stitched up carpets, broken windows, useless - mouldy shower, terrible service, breakfast was awful. AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS, spend and extra £10 and go to a premier inn or travel lodge. Will be sending photos off to trading standards. More

Single room for £65 i would expect a lot more. Room was very small and it was a trek to getb to. Definitely not a hotel for people with disabilities. Went for breakfast at 8.55am amnd got one rasher of bacon, fried egg, beans and half a sausage. It seemed that i was a big inconvenience to them. I would... More

My husband and I stayed here for a short overnight stay in Cambridge. Parking was available around the back but the driveway was very narrow and had huge potholes in it. It was a lot further than the 10 minute walk advertised into town. Our room was horrendous. The windows didn't shut properly, the curtains were torn and were missing... More

We were in Cambridge in the rain and decided on this one as was close to the station and had vacancies. When we got inside it looked O.K, we were given a key to a room and when we went to the room there was already a guest inside in bed, we then went back to reception and had to... More

Due to the fact it was my son's graduation we booked this establishment at the last minute, as there were very few other places in Cambridge with accommodation available for 3 nights, with the Saturday being full almost everywhere. The website said that the only room available was a triple for £90 per night for bed and breakfast. Although there... More

Unclean, poorly equipped, very tired, poor customer service and stank of smoke. A very poor B&B let alone hotel. It is very close to station but there is a row of hotels on that road so go for one of them. More
