Hotel staff friendly and welcoming quick and easy check in process. Room was clean with plenty of towels and tea/coffee making facilities. selection of both soft and firm pillows. Restaurant was pleasant though half the items on the menu were not available which was a little disappointing. Breakfast had a good selection of items including bacon eggs ect and pancakes and cereals aswell as juice and hot drinks. Hotel is located about 2.5 miles from Cambridge city centre but is easily accessible by foot or taxi or even an e-scooter/bike.

I must say this is how a hotel should be run!! Friendly positive staff who are helpful with a smile!! Our TV remote didn't work and a member of staff was there within 5 mins and sorted it... Extra milk and tea bags for the room no problem... Breakfast was fresh even at 9. 45am! A little further out from where I usually stay when visiting Cambridge but it's only a short walk to the bus stop past a pretty lake.. All in all I will be staying here again..

Quite a decent breakfast. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathrooms were equipped with doves finest washing products. Hooked my Chromecast up to the TV since they don't have smart TVs. If you decide to do this I recommend you use your partner's phone as a hotspot as the WiFi seemed to struggle to support Chromecast functionality.
