Unfortunately this was a really bad hotel to stay in. The bed was on casters, so if you sat on the bed or tried to sit up to watch TV , the whole bed moved. The shower was extremely hot, with no way to cool it down despite 2 visits by maintenance. It was advertised as having a bar and breakfast, but no bar or breakfast. They also advertised parking. Tjete was just 1 place outside which i managed to squeeze in, but again an additional charge. Quite a small room too, so i would not recommend staying in this hotel

Decent hotel

Decent hotel but my room was in the basement with no external window. It was fine, just wasn't made clear when I booked. As all the hotels on Sussex Gardens, the Cambridge is ideally located for travel to and from Paddington and onward to anywhere in London.

Needs work

Hotel needs a deep clean and maintenance. Issues with the door key.Thick dust everywhere didn't make me feel confident that the room had been cleaned. No lamps, broken/missing lights, odor in bathroom, and the worst shower I've ever used. Water came out of maybe 5 little holes, the rest sprayed out the back. Faucet knob fell off. Apparently the shower was leaking into the room below. Employee came into our room and called us 3 times within the space of an hour (9-10 Pm) after a long and stressful day and told us not to use the shower- we were unable to each have a shower. Overpriced for the condition and lack of a shower, we should have been offered compensation.
