Our office had a function there yesterday (09/02/12). I could not have wished for anything better. There were 44 of our staff altogether and we had a 3 course meal. The food was excellent and good portion sizes. There was not one plate that had food left on it on all 3 courses. The staff were very attentive without being... More

Stayed here on a number of occasions and while note cheap in comparison to other hotels in the area it's a nice hotel and easily accessible to all parts of Cambridge which is such a beautiful city. The rooms in the hotel are clean and certainly spacious. The bar is nice but perhaps a little open, just to the side... More

We had a great stay in this hotel for a short break in Cambridge True, as previous reviewers say, it is out-dated but due a refurbishment in 2012 according to their replies to writers on here. Long overdue I think as it is old fashioned, but beautifully clean and well looked after. Probably a response to the Doubletree Hilton opening... More
