I was given a disabled room which was very helpful for our early departure. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent. However, the hotel could benefit from better-qualified associates. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, and the service was exceptional.

The hotel provided clean and comfortable rooms with lovely views over Parker's Piece parkland, although they were a bit too warm and the duvet was too heavy for a warm spring day. The staff tried hard to fix issues and even offered thoughtful gestures like a birthday card and chocolates, but struggled to keep up with demand. The location was excellent for access to the city's colleges and shops but faced rowdy nightlife noise until 4 am on both nights. The dining experience offered a delicious buffet, though at an extra charge for some items. Facilities were satisfactory, with areas in need of improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of luxury and inconvenience. The rooms were lovely and very luxurious, with heated flooring in the bathroom which added a nice touch. However, the room had a pokey wee window and was quite noisy, making it hard to get a good night's sleep with creaking floorboards and noise from other rooms.

The hotel had beautiful and large rooms with a huge comfy bed and gorgeous furniture, but they were on the small side. However, the experience was marred by long queues to get in and a surly hostess. The disabled-facility bathroom was a plus.

Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms, though described as 'cosy,' were surprisingly spacious and impeccably clean with lovely decor, and the view over Parker's Piece added to the charm. The service, while very accommodating, did have a few hiccups at Reception and the Dining Room. The location couldn't have been more perfect, right in the heart of Cambridge with a luxurious touch from the welcoming staff. Dining options were good but slightly limited on Monday mornings. Overall, a great value for money choice in Cambridge.
