This has to be the worst place i have ever stayed in. Dirty room, Dirty bathroom & toilet with mold all over the ceiling and walls and shower cubicle. No hearing the room was like an ice box and i wasnt suprised when the radiator in the room didnt work. Who ever owns this place needs to take note of all the reviews that i have read and the last thing i wajt my money back.

Awful place - never again
Possibly the worst hotel stay I have had, The check in was just a key left on the table in the entrance with a hand written note with my name The room was cold, smelly and poorly maintained The decor of the whole place was in poor condition, this was very obviously a care home previously as there were nurse call points in the hallways half removed The bed was uncomfortable so we did not have a good sleep for the two nights we were there The only member of staff we encountered during our stay was rude to us as we were checking out less than 10 minutes after the 10am checkout time The whole experience of this hotel left a bad impression on both of us I travel a lot for work and stay in a lot of different hotels around the country Although cheap it was not the cheapest I have stayed in but was very definately the worst by a long shot.

Lady on arriving very nice. But private bathroom does not mean en suite it is a separate shower and toilet along corridor which did not look private and needed a good clean. Generally if you want something very basic not fussy about cleanliness and don’t want to spend a lot of money then this place is perfect

rooms was nice but the halls was like out the shining, breakfast was awful, don’t book if you want to be feed in the morning, it toast and cereal and the butter and jam had been mixed, probably because of the lack of cutlery

Avoid this place
Terrible, can’t say much more. Rooms run down, bathroom dirty and metal fittings rusty. Housekeeping was well below par, bedding not particularly clean. The shower was either very hot or scalding, no real ability to adjust. Breakfast was in an upstairs day room, continental buffet, kettle, microwave, no staff just make your own. The place was originally a nursing home that was inspected in 2011 and deemed unsatisfactory. It would appear it later closed down and is now this hotel, but doesn’t look as though any alterations have been carried out to convert it to a hotel, in fact, the nursing alarms are still on the corridor walls. The ambiance of the hotel felt more like a half way house for recovering drug users. I would avoid this place at all costs, don’t even consider booking a room here, you will regret it. I now it’s cheap but we’ve had some good rooms in low cost hotels, if there was a Travelodge near by we would have used that but we had to location specific as we where helping our son move into his new property. It not as though we have never been before to Cambridge itself as our son has lived here for the past eight years. We’ve stayed in other accommodations in Cambridge and never had any issues. If you do decide to stay, may I suggest at least a bottle of wine before you retire as this will help dull your regrets.

The location was ok. No tea making facilities, no shampoo, scruffy room, sagging curtains, broken fittings. Warm welcome, easy to park, taxi arrived on time.
