"The hotel is right next to Cambridge train station, which made getting around super easy. The weather was quite hot, but the room temperature was comfortable and controllable with the air conditioning. It was also quiet, with no disturbances. However, when I woke up in the morning, I found a small fly in the room, which was a bit off-putting. The window was closed, so I'm not sure how it got in."

"The room was clean and tidy. We were a family of four staying in a quad room. It had a washbasin, which was very convenient for brushing our teeth in the morning. The shared restrooms and shower rooms were also quite good. A major highlight was the shared kitchen, where we could buy groceries from the supermarket and cook our favorite meals. The location was excellent too, just about a 10-minute walk from the station."

"A fantastic hotel in a brilliant location - 40 mins nice walk through the park to get to central Cambridge. However, the local area is also really great too - lovely restaurants and cafes around which we really enjoyed. The hotel is beautifully done with really nice interiors and the room was comfortable, clean and well decorated. Only notes would be we'd love to see the addition of net curtains for natural light in the room with some privacy, nespresso (or similar) coffee machines rather than just a kettle (aparthotels tend to have these, we were surprised there wasn't one) and more hooks in the bathroom for wet towels. Other than that, a great stay and would highly recommend."

"This is one of my top recommended hotels within the Cambridge University graduate student area. I frequently book this hotel for our professors and students, and every time, I receive excellent feedback. On July 17th and 18th, there was a very large event in this new research district, which was just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. It was incredibly convenient, and everyone had a great time! 😀 The biggest advantage of the hotel is its extremely convenient transportation.

It was a 45 min walk from the Centre of Cambridge along Mill Road or you can get the No 2 bus that costs £3. It was a pleasant walk. The reception staff were very helpful and check in was quick. The room had a good temperature and it was cosy. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a kettle, TV and an iron. The breakfast area was very busy in the mornings. The hot breakfast was ok. The Coffee was Ok there were a range of pastries and muffins all Ok. There were a lot of poor behaved people with a lot of ill behaved children in the breakfast area. Overall I had a comfortable stay. The room itself was very quiet. The images provided are of the room and view from the window, the walk to the hotel. I hope they are helpful."
