Although my room was cleaned and the towels replaced, the tea/coffee/milk was not replaced and there was a dirty cup left in the room. Not really good enough. The member of staff on breakfast duty was excellent. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

This is my go-to hotel in Cambridge, although I notice the selection of spirits at the bar has decreased, and the breakfast options have tightened up a bit in terms of variety. The hotel has replaced some of the older furnishings, which were needed. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is good, although it is not as easy to work from as the desks are smaller.
