9.4/10 Exceptional! (383 reviews)

Lovely hotel 15 to 20 minutes walk from the city centre. Check in was easy but hotel takes £150 which is refundable 5-7 days after you check out. I don’t agree with this as it should be returned on check out. Check in is 4pm but reception can email you if your room is ready earlier. Parking is £24 a day but the car park is underground, appears to be safe and is the going rate for Cambridge. The room was clean. The shower was amazing, towels and dressing gowns are provided as is a hairdryer and iron with ironing board. Room service is very expensive with both a £5 and service charge added on. Breakfast offered a good choice of food, eggs cooked to order. However it would have been good to have some blueberries for porridge. Staff were all very attentive and friendly. There is also a separate coffee bar which is nice. We didn’t use the pool and the sauna was closed. All in all a lovely stay and we will return.
