Lovely little place and would stay again. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was lovely. Only thing I would say is need air-conditioning or fan as room was very hot. And no toiletries in bathroom

Warm welcome from friendly staff, private parking, spotless bathroom with good size white towels and comfortable bed.
Decent breakfast including cereals, cakes and cooked.
Building itself needs a lick of paint and some updating.
Great location. Nice little hotel with plenty of parking and lovely breakfast.

The Ashley is a budget hotel and all things considered was a nice property for what we paid.
The biggest pluses were on-site parking and a great full breakfast being included.
Whilst we appreciated being on ground level (room 1) for convenience it did come with draw backs - we were next to the front door and stairs so could hear anyone coming/going (but didn’t stop us from sleeping).
Our mattress wasn’t great; we kept rolling to the middle and it was uncomfortable. Also the windows didn’t open so we lacked fresh air and it made the room quite hot (England is in a heat wave atm).
Staff were friendly and helpful, a small supermarket across the road (though we had no fridge) and pubs/dining and parks are close by.
Lovely stay in Cambridge and the Ashley Hotel was a perfect location just outside of the city centre

Hotel with parking a 15/ 20 minute walk through a park into the centre of Cambridge, on a fairly busy road but plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, staff friendly, hotel is due for refurbishment , lots of stairs so wouldn’t recommend for anyone with mobility issues
The Ashley is good value for money, as such I was bordering on giving it an “excellent” rating, but it’s beginning to look very slightly tired in places. However don’t take this comment as a major criticism, it’s clean, it’s very close to town with a short walk over the footbridge and Jesus Green. We’ve been using the Ashley and its sister hotel The Arundel for 35 years during our jaunts to Cambridge and happy to continue doing so. A major plus at the Ashley is free parking and they’re thankfully flexible if you want to make the best of your last morning by leaving the car a short time after checking out.
