The room was kinda small, bed was comfortable and clean, window view was awful in our room, bathroom had functional facilities but no lock and had noticeable water damage around wooden doorways and trimming. Overall, an average experience. Perfect for easy access to Cambridge and low to average hotel expectations.

Neil

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The property is run virtually staffless. The is no reception, requests for replenishing towels, toilet roll and toiletries by WhatsApp were ignored. They changed key codes for the bedroom without notification which meant making phone calls just to enter the room. Would not recommend to anyone. It seems more like a student hostel than a hotel. Requests for parking instructions were also ignored meaning we parked in the station carpark at considerable expense.

The room definitely needed a clean, the walls were dirty, the floor was greasy, the shower hadn’t been cleaned. The sheets also did not fit properly, I asked for a replacement but they didn’t have one that for. I did not receive a check in code, I had to reach out and ask for it.

The previous negative reviews are all plausible. I booked at the last minute so curious to see how bad it was. I received the door codes message ok although I never received the pre booking email mentioned by others. The room seemed ok and I had a ground floor room at the front with big bay window. But no power. But shower was hot. I knew I was going to be there for 10 hours tops so I lived with it. As expect, any calls for assistance remain unanswered. Yet yo see if I will be slugged a spurious 50 pound extra charge.

small but modern, clean and tidy. Checkin issues.

small but modern rooms in a new place, very close to the station. Downsides were that checkin app doesnt really work with hotels.com or expedia so I couldnt get in touch with them until I arrived. And the wifi signal is terrible, needs more bandwidth. But nice people, once you finally get a hold of them.

Disliked: Staff & service
I made a mistake when booking and didn’t change dates so it booked for the next day and then I couldn’t move or cancel because of cancellation policy. However it was a mistake and I've tried to correct right away calling the Hotel immediately and many times after and nobody ever answered. Tried to send messages in hotel website and nobody ever replied. Tried to send message via hotels.com and it wasn’t even possible - error message. Hotels.com customer service tried to reach the hotel and couldn’t. This never happened to me before with other hotels and I am really disappointed.

Room 10 to avoid

Pros first: The room was clean and had an amazing number of power outlets and lights. The folding desk was nice too. Shower worked well. Cons: The room feels unfinished, or at the minimum poorly designed. The biggest issue is that the bathroom contains a very loud extractor fan which can still clearly be heard when the door is closed. There is no way to turn off this fan and it is on 24 hours a day. Even worse, the fan is not beefy enough to do much in the way of ventilating the shower cubby/ room so the room quickly becomes damp. Sucks all around! Other issues: * pillows are garbage * no mirror above washbasin, instead it is near the door below a shelf? * The "automated" checkin system did not work at all and so had to do this process with a staff member who was helpful but talked in a barely audiable mumble.

Perfect for what we done

Me and my partner stayed in this hotel for 1 night as it was a quick base for going out that night. The room was very spacious and clean the only let down i would say is you'll never get a lay in as the walls are very thin and you can hear every footstep and the shower was very slow and took a long time to heat up. other than that it was okay
