5/5 Excellent

"Christ's College is an old institution with lovely grounds in the centre of Cambridge and it is easy to walk to attractions.The accommodation is in a modern block at the back of the grounds and was built by the architect for the National Theatre .So I was faced with a huge flight of concrete steps and no lift!Luckily I had help with my case from a gardener on my arrival and a cleaner as I left and in between I got quite fit! But I think you should warn prospective guests with limited mobility as there are rooms at the ground floor of the block for which you do not need to use the steps. Breakfast was included and was very good with options of cold meats, juice,fruit,cereal,cooked breakfast, toast, bread and jam as well as tea or coffee.The room was modern with ensuite facilities ( mini wetroom). NO TV but once I managed the complicated instructions I could use my tablet on college wifi.Excellent value for money!"
