床很高，床墊陷在木質床架裏，上下床特別容易磕碰，窗户難關且關不緊，晚上大風還被吹開了。週末早餐十點就結束了

The hotel is a nice hotel, the staff were very friendly and efficient, it’s a great location for everything in Cambridge. The room was excellent.
The food in “Six” was not very good. We ordered 4 different starters, as a snack - Tapas style, however they were all poor, and you could buy better at M&S.
sorry, the rest of the stay was very good, the food let it down a bit.

Poor service and poky rooms
Very expensive and not worth the money. Rooms are small for the price you pay. Rooftop cocktail bar had very unhelpful staff - disappointing that all the cocktails were from premixed bags and you could only order from the limited drinks menu. Took a month for my £50 holding deposit to be returned. Avoid.

Not great for the price - no room cleaning for two night stay and breakfast options were lacking. Hotel is tired and a little disappointing
