I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were big and comfortable with a nice-sized bathroom, but it was really hot and a bit challenging to adjust the temperature. The cleanliness was adequate, though not exceptional.

The location was near the city centre, making it convenient to access attractions. However, being close to a busy and noisy road in a residential area detracted a bit from the peace.

The dining experience was enjoyable, with a good variety available. The option of cafetiere coffee and various teas was a nice touch. The price for the meal was a good deal at £5.00-a-day.

The hotel is situated in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Cambridge, offering good bus links into the city, though lacking in proximity to the city center. The rooms, while having their own private bathroom, are poorly soundproofed. The service was exceptional with friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially for a solo female traveler. The dining experience provided varied options but may not satisfy guests with a big appetite. Overall, a decent spot for those seeking a tranquil stay with convenient transportation access.
