Okay ish

Chosen originally for its location to Cambridge City centre with free parking and looked good in the pictures. We arrived early so decided to take lunch there. Very inexperienced staff member behind bar led to disjointed, incorrect and undercooked orders. Not a good start and due to this we never ate there again during the stay. The manageress offered free drinks to redress the food issues and who throughout the stay was pleasant and helpful. We later established that she was not the owner and seemed to be doing well to keep everything together. Rooms upon check in were disappointing in quality and cleanliness. The TV in one of the two rooms did not work and only one room had a fridge. Interestingly both rooms had sets of ear plugs provided. These we discovered were to counter the noise on the first night of a karaoke in the bar until midnight and also to try and diminish the sound of clientele drinking and smoking outside the rooms in the car park area. The second night this went on until 03:30. This needs to be advertised so that all potential customers are aware. The rooms certainly didn't justify their £130.00 per night charge. Very questionable as to how this can be graded a three star establishment. Overall very disappointing.

Close to the city center, free parking, and very friendly and helpful staff. The lodging is next to a busy intersection. The room and bathroom were very dated, and the shower hot water faucet was not working.

Very friendly welcome, private safe parking. A spacious clean comfortable room. Food available if needed. Great location close to railway station. Easy walk into city centre ( if you like walking) otherwise plenty of buses all day. A good find 😊

Comfortable stay with friendly and helpful staff

Close to the train station and quiet area. Friendly and helpful staff.

Really good value, lovely staff and a very comfortable room

Good location with parking. Walkable into the City centre.

The host were friendly and helpful. Clean and quiet room, and good breakfast. The free car park was nice to have. The building and facilities, although a bit dated, were good overall.

The staff was very nice. But the rooms were very bad. They had black and red bed sheets seemed clean but I couldn’t dare to sit or sleep in the bed. I checked in, saw the room, checked out right away.
