Our second stay here recently and, honestly, it's a superb hotel. The staff are well-trained and uniformly excellent, the rooms are beautiful, recently refurbed, with wonderful beds and gorgeous bathrooms. We can't fault it and look forward to our next visit.

Night away with friends
Stayed here for a friend’s birthday celebration, rooms great, service in the cocktail bar was very slow. And not being able to be served at the bar, only table service was a pain.

Room not maintained
Although the hotel was welcoming we were disappointed about some minor things. In our room 431 the bathroom door had water damage to the bottom causing it to swell and paint to peel. The toilet flush was not working well. The left hand bedside light was not working. Only two teabags and one portion of milk for tea in the room. All of which was a shame for the money we paid.

Could be great, let down by simple things
Breakfast is very bad value. Streaky bacon is only the first of many issues. WiFi slow and blocks some VPNs. Low water pressure. One lift broken, the other enraging.
Staff are great and if you can get over the unnaturally long pillows the beds pretty comfortable too.
Apparently charged me a tenner to upgrade my room without checking with me first.
Typically vexing hotel TV.

Good location
Initially allocated a rather drab room with badly stained/damaged carpet - unacceptable as the hotel was not fully booked. On contacting reception about this, we were kindly moved to a much nicer room with a park view.
Enjoyed the underfloor heating in the bathroom, quality bedding and windows that you can open to let in fresh air.
Missed having a bathtub as most rooms only have a shower.
Cleaning could be improved as the chaise was stained - rather off-putting.
Overall a nice stay in beautiful Cambridge

The hotel itself is lovely, well decorated and comfortable. The service however was quite poor. The staff allocation was very odd - check in took ages because there was only one person on the desk, and there was only one bartender making drinks on a very busy evening - it took nearly half an hour to get two drinks. Not what you would expect from a luxury hotel, and no apologies.

My stay here was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations is pretty much every way, including luggage being taken up to my room so it was waiting for me when I was ready to check in. Breakfast was great and the wait wasnt very long at all for the meals being freshly cooked. The only downside was that the bed was hard as a rock, and i prefer a softer bed. I would recommend this hotel!
