Lovely new hotel in renovated, historical surroundings! My room was gorgeous, the shower was large and had really nice product, the staff were helpful (although there was some confusion about how often the room got cleaned and it if was possible to request a greater frequency). Note: they need to staff more people for the restaurant. It's a beautiful place but if there's only one person managing orders, billing, and the espresso bar, they're going to be stressed. That's not the staff's fault, that's a matter of management.

The room I had on the second floor is in the eaves, so I had to be bent over to walk around the bed. As a result, I injured my back. In addition, the room was incredibly overheated, but I couldn’t close the open window because the toilet smelled absolutely horrible. I will not be staying here again.

I took a single studio room for a night. It was perfect for a single person, yet cleverly equipped with all the usual amenities one would expect. The staff were friendly, and I especially appreciated their late checkout policy. Although I didn’t get the chance to dine there, the breakfast looked pretty good. And all of this for a pretty reasonable price. The only thing that bothered me was the heating/cooling- it was concentrated in a narrow area, and not the most effective.

Booked a one night stay for a theatre trip, however the bar/restaurant area was 'out of bounds' to guests as there was a private function going on! If we had been told this at time of booking we would probably have gone elsewhere. When you're paying nearly £200 a night you expect to be able to access everything the hotel has to offer - particularly as this is a key feature of the hotel.......

Good location and lovely property It’s a new venue and unfortunately they still have some teething issues . Had to get 4 different keys ,lift not working and leak in reception which unfortunately has ruined a lovely oak table. Room was great though well laid out and had everything you needed including kettle coffee machine microwave and clothes steamer. We would stay again

Great check in experience. Got there before 1pm and my room was ready. The staff ran through all I needed to know about the hotel and virtually took me to my room. The room was clean and comfortable, which had a small kitchenette. Nice to have a Nespresso machine, great touch. I had a great nights sleep in a lovely bed, what more could you want. The shower was easy to use even for me! You push a button and works! Brilliant. The building itself is stunning, especially the restaurant/bar which has lots of history. All the staff there are so helpful and kind, I’ll be coming back that’s for sure. I highly recommend this hotel.

I'd booked this weekend for my boyfriend's birthday. Great location, small room, clean other than a hair in the shower upon entering. Shower was terrible, had to use the hand attachment which would make hair washing tricky. Toilet constantly trying to fill up (did mention shower & toilet to receptionist, but there was no improvement). I'd also asked for something to be left in the room for my boyfriends birthday & exoected to pay, but this was nlt done.

Asked to have the room serviced but, when we got back, it hadn't been. 'Can you clean it and give us new towels etc?' 'No' But they did offer us breakfast as compensation. The coffee is fine. The continental is poor, no fruit salad for instance... whole apples. bananas and tangerines instead. They can't warm up the pain au chocolat or croissants. Hot breakfasts: The plates aren't warm. The fried eggs are quite rubbery by the time you get down there. Same with the sausages and bacon. The bread (good sourdough) is sliced in half so that you need the tongs to get it out of the toaster. Metal tongs... Where have I read that metal tongs in a toaster with the power on, even if the timer switch has run its course, is a really bad idea? Oh yes, every Health & Safety briefing you've ever experienced. And the person, nominally, in charge of the breakfast room is too busy looking at her phone to care... We think there must have been Northerners in the room above ours as they seemed to clog dance most nights as we got ready for bed... till quite late... Excellent location though.

I would not recommend this hotel despite the building itself being quite nice. On arrival, the hotel’s systems were down, which meant we had to wait a significant amount of time just to check in. Once we finally accessed the room, it was immediately obvious that it had not been cleaned at all. There were multiple hygiene issues, including used items left behind and a bathroom that was clearly still in use by the previous guest. It was completely unacceptable and not fit to stay in. When I went back to reception to raise this, I then had to wait again for a long time to speak to a manager. No alternative rooms were available, so we had no option but to leave and find accommodation elsewhere at short notice. While the building looks good on the outside, the overall experience highlighted serious operational and management problems, particularly around basic cleanliness, room turnaround, and handling issues when things go wrong. For those reasons, I would not stay here again or recommend it to others.

I had really high hopes for our stay at this new Cambridge hotel… as the Instagram stories /website looked fantastic; which perhaps made the reality all the more disappointing! We arrived on the 12th December. Cambridge was as usual, beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Hobson, No tree… in fact, not a single decoration in sight. The receptionist response, “ we’ve been too busy to think about Christmas”. Not the response expected when arriving for a festive stay and a real disappointment when walking past other hotels it was clear had made huge efforts to make their customer’s experience the best positive with some beautiful decorations. Not the Hobson! On check in, the staff appeared inexperienced and dismissive. Zero information about the hotel, restaurant/breakfast options/times etc, check out, Wifi. literally nothing! The only input from them was a demand for money for a room that I had already paid for in full, and was made to ‘prove’ that I had paid prior by showing them a copy of my Expedia receipt. Rude and unprofessional. The room, although appeared clean in principle, had 2 chocolate wrappers on the floor!! Their mere presence makes you question how well cleaned it ‘actually’ was where staff cannot be bothered to clear up wrappers! Check out was a shambles. The couple in front of us simply wanted an invoice printed. Almost 30 MINUTES later, the staff member was still floundering with no invoice printed out. A shame. Promised so much. Delivered so little
