Was not told about the two different key cards one for the pool and one for the room. Went down to the pool from the 4th floor and couldn’t access the pool with my room key. Had to calll reception on my mobile to get someone to let me in. The next morning I took both cards and neither worked. Had to call again to get in. Apparently you have to ask if you want to use it the next morning and get the card adjusted appropriately to access it again.

Very clean. Excellent gym , pool and sauna. Comfortable. 1 min walk from train. Organic option available. Lovely bath robes. Helpful staff. Problems resolved quickly and smoothly. Free breakfast would be expected in nearly £100 per night room. Signs needed to figure how to use the lift. Sauna would be nicer if it had privacy glass. Toiletries are not organic/eco - just chemically and packaged as luxury. Head baord not comfy to sit up in bed.

Familiar Territory

I have stayed at the hotel many times. The rooms are comfortable and the staff are excellent, and consistently so. Some of the lounge furnishings are a little careworn and seven or so odd years after opening, they could be replaced while the range of spirits on the bar could be wider. But as a place to stay the connections are excellent.

Great stay

Very friendly staff, everything spotlessly clean, great shower, comfy bed, very good breakfast selection. Hotel is convenient for the train and buses into Cambridge. I attended a meeting and the conference room facilities and catering were excellent.

Great Hotel but not the best night sleep

Hotel was clean and modern, as the weather was fine it felt bright, sunny and airy. Swimming pool small and a tad chilly but still a lovely modern space, with a sauna, obviously full of families if you go on a Saturday but fine for us, it really made it a fun trip for the kids. Hotel room was nice but the sofa bed for the kids was hard and not divided evenly in two so one child had a really slim hard bed to sleep on (the back of the sofa) so we had a terrible night sleep, I ended up having to sleep on it, then the alarm went off on the tv at 6.30am which was really rather upsetting!! It would have been a brilliant stay if not for the bad night.There are regular buses into Cambridge from outside the train station so very well situated.

Nicely located close to Cambridge. Situated next to Cambridge North station so good train links. Car park £15 charge per day. Hotel is modern and airy but felt all a bit informal with no real reception desk & staff on laptops. Stayed 2 nights but had no room cleaning which was disappointing. Pool was nice & kids enjoyed using it. Breakfast had nice selection but cooked breakfast was very very greasy. Generally a nice stay but for the price didn’t feel like anything amazing.

Lovely modern hotel with great transport links into the city Centre making for a very affordable but convenient alternative to staying in the Centre itself.
