I’d book somewhere else

The bedroom ceiling was filthy and needed painting, there was an extra bed in the room which we never asked for that made the room feel small and cramped. The toilet door is transparent which to some may be an advantage but not for me and there was a kettle in the room with sachets of coffee, this went out in the 1990s, for goodness sake just put in a coffee machine in every room with pods

Odd bathroom set up be warned with children

We found the staff to be friendly, but we're very disappointed with the bathroom, you couldn't lock the door, it swung the whole way and the worst was that you see through the bathroom door! It was glass. We had our 16 year old son in with us and it made the whole experience stressful and uncomfortable

Modern clean hotel right next to the train station. Cambridge North. Room is of good size and storage space is good. There is a well stocked small supermarket right across the hotel COOP. Not much food options around. Bus stop is short distance away into town. It’s actually walkable about 30-40 minutes to center of Cambridge. Would stay here again.
