I was there twice and stayed in two different rooms on both ocassions. Both rooms were small, but the comfort level depends upon which room you occupy. The room at the top floor was the least comfortable for three reasons: 1. The shower and toilet room door was very noisy when pulling open or shut, 2. The room was too... More

A friend & I just needed a cheap bed & parking space for a night out in Cambridge & this was one of the cheapest we could find so it suited our purpose but I wouldn't recommend this for a short break. They have crammed 2 very slim single beds into a room & have tried to make the decorations... More

Cold and a smell of mould and dust as I walked into the house to be greeted, eventually by a woman who gave me a hard time about not arriving at 3pm!!! My double room was very small, I could only walk around the bed sideways on and it was a business trip but working at the small, desk was... More

The previous reviews cover most things! My double room was ok, the sheets were clean, and the owners have tried to make it look glamorous! Not glamorous though! I had a double room with ensuite, toilet lid wasn't fixed properly and shower cubicle was very very small, struggled to bend to get my shower gel! Didn't sleep very well on... More

Kirkwood House Cambridge. I wish I had read about it online first particularly under “Trip Advisor” The man came across as pleasant and friendly BUT and it's a very big BUT. I was offered two single rooms. Both of them measured approximately 6’ x 8'. (Message to the owner - If they are any bigger than that, I suggest you... More

Should have read the Trip Advisor reviews first. Should definitely have stopped when made to pay before even seeing room. I booked two nights, I couldn't face the second one, but was refused a refund. Easily the smallest room I have ever paid to stay in, not the cheapest and no breakfast. If you don't mind knuckles brushing the bedside... More

Booked because there was little else available, this guest house does not even offer breakfast. The whole house smelled musty and stale. The room may once have been a decent size, but converting part into a shower room made it cramped. The shower room itself was little more than a cupboard, with a shower that worked when it wanted to,... More

We stayed here for one night, were slightly worried after reading bad reviews, we stayed in the main house, there was no smell, it was clean and quiet. The location is not amazing, however the price is good, it takes about 15 mins to walk to the center and we would stay here if going back to Cambridge again. Overall... More
