    • Attic Single Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Stayed in an attic room which was fine for me, but some people may find the stairs challenging. Bath with hand-held shower may not be suitable for all guests was ok for my needs.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very clean and freshened daily. Great location only a few minutes walk from train station, across the road from Botanic Gardens. Excellent breakfast with many vegetarian options.

    The room had a draft so on arrival it’s quite cold.

    Quaint little hotel, with pretty much all you need for a stay.

    Everything was good. I don't think there was a lift but it was not a problem for us. Maybe for an older or disabled person?

    An enjoyable stay, the room was warm and comfortable, the linen crIsp and clean, the breakfast good.

    *There was no shelf in the bathroom for toiletries and toilet bag. I did not know where to put things. I think the addition of a shelf or small vanity unit in the bathroom should be a priority. The shower gel container is too high on the wall. It cannot be reached once you are sitting in the bath. *At breakfast it would be good to have proper, thick cut marmalade not just golden shred which is too sweet and similar to jam and not like good strong marmalade. Also, perhaps porridge? *Occasionally, I could smell cigarette smoke in my room. I thought this was getting in around the fire escape door. I reported this to the staff who, I am pleased to say, followed it up and asked the guest in a neighbouring room to refrain from smoking on the escape route. Perhaps a non smoking notice on the outside of the door might prevent this in future. * An easy chair in the bedroom would add to the comfort.

    The breakfast was very good and the service excellent All the staff were pleasant and helpful. An iron, ironing board and hair dryer were all provided in the room, very useful. The location for me was particularly good as I was in Cambridge to attend a drawing class at the Botanic Gardens. It was also walking distance from the station. I did not require buses or taxis.

    The shower pressure could have been better but we did have an attic room. One room had a bath when a decent shower would have been preferable

    Stayed with my daughter for a nice catch up as she’s at university in Cambridge . Unfortunately there were workmen out the back working on a building, was hoping for a lie in my comfy bed but the noise was too much , obviously hotel wasn’t to blame for this , just unfortunate for us

    Comfy beds , clean and welcoming
