Really convenient place to stay in Central Cambridge - and a completely different experience to a hotel. I was solo female tand felt safe in this location. The room was as described, clean and exactly what I needed for an overnight stay. The bed was comfy too! The head Porter who welcomed me was really friendly and explained everything to me very well - breakfast was great too. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a different experience of an overnight stay than usual, especially in a city famous for the university!

It was lovely to stay at a college. I studied at a different college a long time ago and this one is quite tucked away, in my day we called it Sidney Sainsbury's as it's opposite the supermarket!

Nice clean room. Might be a bit loud in warmer months with windows open as it is in the city centre, but convenient. Excellent breakfast.

It’s not a hotel, but the folks at the Porter’s Lodge could try to be a little nicer and more helpful—especially with a guest of the university! This would require very minimal additional effort
