Room not maintained

Although the hotel was welcoming we were disappointed about some minor things. In our room 431 the bathroom door had water damage to the bottom causing it to swell and paint to peel. The toilet flush was not working well. The left hand bedside light was not working. Only two teabags and one portion of milk for tea in the room. All of which was a shame for the money we paid.

Could be great, let down by simple things

Breakfast is very bad value. Streaky bacon is only the first of many issues. WiFi slow and blocks some VPNs. Low water pressure. One lift broken, the other enraging. Staff are great and if you can get over the unnaturally long pillows the beds pretty comfortable too. Apparently charged me a tenner to upgrade my room without checking with me first. Typically vexing hotel TV.

A very shoddy experience in too many ways.

Was the manager "working from home", we wondered? To list but a few points: The shower was jammed on cold; the basin plug didn't work; there was just enough milk for a cuppa at teatime or a coffee in the morning but not both (a cunning ploy to drum up charges for room service, perhaps?); the room was cold and smelled of damp; the main lamp didn't work; nearby plumbing was noisy all night; the carpets were badly-fitted and frayed; only coco-pops and bran flakes were available at breakfast - everything else having run out by 09:30; the cooked breakfast was either dried-out (mushrooms), finished (eggs), soggy (hash browns) or cold (baked beans); tables were filthy and uncleared; cutlery, when it eventually came, had to be sent back as it too was filthy and my fork still gooey with somebody eles's food; we had to queue both to check in and check out; the pillows were like bricks; no turn-down service was provided; etc. etc. An irritatingly over-priced and utterly underwhelming visit. A 10 minute walk to the nearest parking didn't help either.

Night away with friends

Stayed here for a friend’s birthday celebration, rooms great, service in the cocktail bar was very slow. And not being able to be served at the bar, only table service was a pain.

Good location

Initially allocated a rather drab room with badly stained/damaged carpet - unacceptable as the hotel was not fully booked. On contacting reception about this, we were kindly moved to a much nicer room with a park view. Enjoyed the underfloor heating in the bathroom, quality bedding and windows that you can open to let in fresh air. Missed having a bathtub as most rooms only have a shower. Cleaning could be improved as the chaise was stained - rather off-putting. Overall a nice stay in beautiful Cambridge

Great location, very friendly staff everywhere, excellent breakfast with plenty of gluten-free options that we weren't expecting. Nice Krups coffee machine in room and small fridge, lovely shower. A few niggles with the facilities - bathroom vent did not extract quickly when steamy - there was a switch outside the bathroom which did nothing. One of the bedside lamps did not work at all. Youtube showed on TV as an option but did not work. There weren't many TV channels either, you could get a lot more with standard Freeview. Would recommend to others as a lovely historic building in the centre of town, it smells amazing and we slept amazingly.

The hotel itself is lovely, well decorated and comfortable. The service however was quite poor. The staff allocation was very odd - check in took ages because there was only one person on the desk, and there was only one bartender making drinks on a very busy evening - it took nearly half an hour to get two drinks. Not what you would expect from a luxury hotel, and no apologies.
