2.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (161)
"Wonderful to be part of the college! Central to shops and all that Cambridge has to offer. East walk from the Park and Ride stop and restaurants 5 mins away. Staff were very helpful and informative and helped with our bags. We stayed in early November and were not aware of other guests even though we were sharing a bathroom. Cosy, warm and very clean- a wonderful change from a hotel."
