    The place is much better than how it looks in the photos. Everything was clean, the people were incredibly friendly. It's a little bit of a walk from... the town center, but it gives you a chance to walk past the river. Lovely place, will be staying again. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 4, 2012

    A short guide to Cambridge

    Floating in the misty fens, this beautiful university city attracts hordes of visitors to its gothic spires, shady cloisters and wide open parks. In the summer, sun seekers punt along the Cam or picnic under the willows that line its banks. Strawberry Fair free music festival takes place early in June and the city's famous folk festival is in July. The view from Castle Hill is worth the climb.

    Enjoyed the bustle and musical entertainment and the beer was well-kept and courteously pulled. Didn't sample the food but it looked good coming from kitchen. Bar staff friendly and helpful with car parking suggestion though no parking owned by the pub. Lots of on street spaces nearby. Reasonable rate and suited my purpose ideally. Bathroom no en suite […] but good supply of hot water. Read more

    Både bo ostört och festa på rummet utan att någon hör eller bryr sig, gångavstånd till stan/klubbarna. Floden 100 m från hotellet. Riktigt kul resa!

    Le camere sono sopra il giardino di una birreria. Sono piccoline (non vi resterà molto spazio una volta posate le valigie!) ma confortevoli e pulite, ci sono tre camere con due bagni (di cui uno con doccia) in comune. I gestori sono simpatici ed accoglienti ed il quartiere è simpatico, appena al di là del fiume. Un buon affare per quel prezzo.
