“Not Happy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Manager was not helpful or friendly. Bed sheetsa cleqn but valance was very grubby, curtains needed washing. For two nights cups and saucer not cleaned or replaced and bed not made. Breakfast was dished up for us by the manager choice cornflakes or museli no choice of juice. Dinning chairs upholstery very dirty and no springs left in seats. Price was expensive compared with other beautiful B&B we stayed in. Will not be back!

Room Tip: Always check reviews and look at bedrooms on the net.

Damp, dank & dusty.

No mention during booking or on website that full English breakfast is £5 per head extra.

We won't be back.

“Better than the reviews might suggest...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011

I needed a cheap and accessible place for one night in Cambridge.
This was it. Cheap (£42) and very accessible. My room (No.1) was on the ground floor just in from the front door. Two beds, toilet, shower, sink, TV. Not the Ritz but well worth the money. Parking was fine (there were 5 cars in the car park including mine). Coming and going was easy using the keypad at the front door. I only had a small breakfast but it was OK, coffee was good and the guy next to me wolfed his way through a full English that looked fine too.
The reviews about this place are really damning. I've got to say, I did not think it was bad at all and I would certainly go back there next time I need a night in Cambridge.

“unprofessional staff, bad facilities”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011

person found this review helpful

Booked via Booking.com, arrivied on scheduled date.
Administrator said that they can not provide roon with the shower as I booked since shower is broken. Offered me the room with no shower instead or move to another gest house. I went to see another location and talked to administrator who happened to be very rude and unprofessional . I decided to go to another hotel and was lucky to get a good accomodation at Holiday Inn in Camvridge which was perfectely fine facility. However i had to pay "walk in" rate.
It is very disturbing that they charged my card as "no show". However I am disputing that transaction with my bank.
Very unpleasant expience. I saw the rooms and for little more money you can get much better accomodations in Cambridge. Rooms are small, sheets are old and there is a smell in the hotel.The manager - a middle eastern lady needs to be replaced since she has no idea about basic customer service.
DONT STAY THERE

“Not good enough, sorry”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2010

My room was very clean and confortable, but there were some basic problems with the lodging:
1) The shower wasn't hot enough and the water didn't have enough pressure for me to even consider washing my hair. I got out of the shower freezing because not only there wasn't enough hot water but also the bathroom heating was off
2) My room was very noisy, and whenever someone flushed or used the shower in the bathrooms located above and next to it I would wake up. I couldn't sleep much.
3) The wifi was off and the lady looking after the hotel, although very nice, wasn't much help either. The only information I could get from her was where to catch the bus to the city centre, there wasn't even a map available. I was very late for my first day at the conference because I had to go to the city centre and get a map.
4) The breakfast standard is low and the choice is poor, both in quality and quantity (I could have probably asked for a seconde serving, though)
