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.

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!

A very shoddy experience in too many ways.
Was the manager "working from home", we wondered? To list but a few points: The shower was jammed on cold; the basin plug didn't work; there was just enough milk for a cuppa at teatime or a coffee in the morning but not both (a cunning ploy to drum up charges for room service, perhaps?); the room was cold and smelled of damp; the main lamp didn't work; nearby plumbing was noisy all night; the carpets were badly-fitted and frayed; only coco-pops and bran flakes were available at breakfast - everything else having run out by 09:30; the cooked breakfast was either dried-out (mushrooms), finished (eggs), soggy (hash browns) or cold (baked beans); tables were filthy and uncleared; cutlery, when it eventually came, had to be sent back as it too was filthy and my fork still gooey with somebody eles's food; we had to queue both to check in and check out; the pillows were like bricks; no turn-down service was provided; etc. etc. An irritatingly over-priced and utterly underwhelming visit. A 10 minute walk to the nearest parking didn't help either.

I found this hotel to be just what I'd like a hotel to be. The bathroom was luxurious, the bed comfy, the service at breakfast and for evening drinks was speedy, polite and comfortable. It was a modern hotel with really traditional standards.
