“Very enjoyable stay and great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

Stayed here for 3 days for a business trip. Free wifi and continental breakfast make the Alington much better value than any of other hotels or B&Bs in Cambridge. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very good with nice fresh coffee. Owner is very helpful and has lots of local knowledge regarding local sites and getting around. Highly... More

“Positive experience”

person found this review helpful

Having quickly glanced at the other reviews, I'm quite surprised by the bad ones. My experience of the B&B was that it was clean, friendly and with a perfectly adequate breakfast. I booked the room at the last minute for a spur of the moment trip and it met our needs perfectly. We were directly on the main road but... More

“Health Hazard.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

Just arrived home having spent two of the worst nights ever in this guest house. We booked the "annex" twin room. Having looked at the photo's on their website I was expecting a bright and airy room with modern facilities. What we actually got was a poky little room in a semi detached house 2 doors down the road from... More

This guest appeared happy when she first arrived, but became extremely angry when she realised the other people in the annexe were Indian and African and demanded a room in the main building. I suggested she find other accommodation, but she had already checked and everywhere was full. Her anger at being, as she described, 'treated like this' was such... More

Stayed for two nights during a weekend, very peaceful and nice. Continental breakfast had lots to choose from, and the coffee was very good - a nice change from all the instant coffee you normally get in the UK. More

“Nice place to stay”

1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at Alington House for three nights while visiting friends in Cambridge and had a very nice stay. The owners were very friendly and the B&B is nice and very family-run - we found it welcoming but not as polished as a very professionally-run place. Our room was nice and bright, it had all the usual amenities, and the... More

“WAITING FOR A BOOKED ROOM THAT WAS NEVER READY FOR US PLUS VERY BAD MANNERS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2010

I´ve been living in U.K. for more than nine years now and I have been lots of times in B&B before and after this issue. My sister and I decided to go to Cambridge to spend one week over there. I booked the room for two of us a few days in advance. I picked up my sister in the... More

It would be nice if the reviews were limited to guests who actually stayed. These guests were very annoyed that their room wasn't ready when they arrived; it was before check-in time and the previous guests had even left yet. They wanted to go out rather than wait and so I let them leave their luggage. When they came back... More

I've been guest for more than 10 days and I can confirm that is it's a clean and tidy guest house. Thank you also to the ownership for their friendship welcome. More
