Room was cold on arrival, turned the radiator to maximum but only heated up to a tepid temperature over night, resulting in feeling very cold getting out of the shower the next morning. The fan in the ‘bathroom’ was very noisy. The curtains were difficult to close providing no or very little privacy while getting undressed. I guess for the price you shouldn’t expect too much.

Great location for visiting Cambridge Junction

Fantastic welcome and comfortable room. An ideal stopover for enjoying a gig at Cambridge junction (2 minute walk away). The food in the restaurant downstairs was delicious and service great too. Tip - swipe the room keycards really fast or they don’t work. Lovely wooden staircases (lots of them).

Get what you pay for

Room was freezing on arrival though warmed up relatively quickly. Antiquated plumbing made noise throughout the night. Still a cheap place to get your head down for a night

Decent family run hotel.

Receptionist was helpful and swopped our room for a groundfloor accessible room. Room was a bit dated, but clean and tidy. There is an onsite Chinese restaurant, we had prebooked elsewhere, but it looked (& smelt) good. Very handy for Addenbrookes & good parking.
