The Castle Bar Room Only

Horrific attitude at the door and it’s a complete dive. Avoid this place like the plague it’s sooo bad. It’s only got location but to be honest they don’t even want you there. The music is the same every week and you will be lucky if the doormen will let you in, which is hilarious when it’s completely empty. Owner called Omar hasn’t got a clue. Can’t wait for it to shut down

Absolute dive, place is filthy and noisy, cobwebs everywhere and windows boarded up with cardboard. When you collect the keys from the bar you think this place looks alright, don’t be fooled the rooms are terrible. Bed was like sleeping on a pavement, Avoid absolute dive

Based on reviews written last year, it’s a shame to know that managers of The Castle haven’t tried to rectified some of the causes for their bad reviews. There still isn’t a functional shower on the first floor, the locks on the doors are dodgy and the room decor is drab at best. To top it all off the noise is unmanageable if trying to get any sleep at all. It’s not worth the £90 we paid for one night and I don’t think rooms should be let out here because it really isn’t fit for purpose. Shame this happened to be my first visit to Cambridge because it has tainted my trip. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone.

Night manager Steven refused me entry at hotel due to not having photo I'd which was never stated when booking for the night and also not needed when confirming with booking com..I had all relevant emails and booking confirmation with payment card but it seemed he got a kick out of letting me be out on the street late at night without a room. Came across aggressive and said id woke him up which is funny since the hotel had only emailed me 30 minutes before hand with his number asking to call him when arrived. Stood outside for nearly a hour without him answering it was only another guest who helped get the manager. Never again!

I stayed here yesterday evening and given it was the hottest night of the year to be told its was shared facilities I.e Shower and Toilet I would have been better off sleeping on a park bench. Room was sp**** with bed and TV only. Lock on room door was difficult to lock and the curtains were not wide enough to cover the window. No air conditioning or fan provided and then was waken by the bin men at 4.30am whom collected all of the bottles for Weatherspoons, All Bar One and Revolution. Shared bathroom and shower facilities also featured a shower that had not been built. If you want to get a decent night's sleep don't book here and make the same mistake I did

Arrived to be told no shower on our floor had to go upstairs and share another one with another guest and the guy who managed the place. Room had no facilities as stated - no tea/coffee kettle etc. No chair as in pictures- no lamp by bed only main light - furniture very tired and scruffy plus tv controls broken. Only positive bed was comfy. No sleep !! Very noisy outside all night which can’t be avoided in a busy area. Would not recommend for the price -

Went in for a beer good selection we also had a meal first class food very friendly staff true little old English pub will definitely return for a pint and burger or something off the menu plenty to choose from and a good few different ale this pub is up castle hill
