Good location
Initially allocated a rather drab room with badly stained/damaged carpet - unacceptable as the hotel was not fully booked. On contacting reception about this, we were kindly moved to a much nicer room with a park view.
Enjoyed the underfloor heating in the bathroom, quality bedding and windows that you can open to let in fresh air.
Missed having a bathtub as most rooms only have a shower.
Cleaning could be improved as the chaise was stained - rather off-putting.
Overall a nice stay in beautiful Cambridge

The hotel itself is lovely, well decorated and comfortable. The service however was quite poor. The staff allocation was very odd - check in took ages because there was only one person on the desk, and there was only one bartender making drinks on a very busy evening - it took nearly half an hour to get two drinks. Not what you would expect from a luxury hotel, and no apologies.

Not as old school luxury as I thought
Stayed overnight as visiting with a friend. I think I was expecting the room to have have a little more old school luxury . I’d upgraded to a king room.
All that was in the strange shaped room was a bed, desk and a random settle without the back. I had thought there would be an occasional chair, but maybe I was expecting too much.
Bathroom was lovely and sizeable
Nice wardrobe with tea and coffee, unfortunately the milk was off which destroyed my chance of a nice cup of tea in bed.
The bed though. It was divine. I like firm beds but this one was perfect and the bedding was good quality.
Room was quiet although right by stairs.
Aircon was not adjustable except to turn it on and off but the temperature was ok.
Their idea of 24 hr room service needs work. Sandwiches!
The lifts can take forever to arrive and I didn’t like that they appear not to have service lifts so you end up sharing with all manner of things.
All in all a nice first experience but I don’t know if I’d stay again.

My stay here was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations is pretty much every way, including luggage being taken up to my room so it was waiting for me when I was ready to check in. Breakfast was great and the wait wasnt very long at all for the meals being freshly cooked. The only downside was that the bed was hard as a rock, and i prefer a softer bed. I would recommend this hotel!

The good, the bad and the ugly
Great hotel. Friendly staff and excellent location, but air cond' in my room didn't function well and moved from 14 degrees (very cold) to about 27 degrees (very hot) after three calls before I finally turned it off at 2.30am. Terrible night's sleep as I had an early start. Fortunately, we have a choice. I got a sense there were issues with the technology as other issues were happening.
