The staff was very nice. But the rooms were very bad. They had black and red bed sheets seemed clean but I couldn’t dare to sit or sleep in the bed. I checked in, saw the room, checked out right away.
The bad was made.. It looks unmade here because I moved the pillows etc

Our room was clean and spacious. The lighting in the room was not great. One day, no housekeeping was done. The hotel is very close to the Cambridge train station and there are lots of coffee shops near the hotel. We ate our breakfast there one morning.

Traditional City Pub, good value, good location.

We were given a room at the front of the pub, above the bar. The pub is on a busy road junction and so there is traffic noise! It was hot so we had the windows open, it was noisy, however, the windows are double glazed and there were ear plugs provided. There’s no air con but there were 2 fans in the room. There were also plug in radiators, hair dryer, iron, full size kettle and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. The room and bathroom were clean and well presented. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night so cannot judge if the pub would be noisy as there was nothing going on. We didn’t use the bar, however it looked clean and the staff were all happy and polite. You can walk into the centre of town in about 15 minutes alternatively the buses all run from the station which is only two minutes away. Big plus is the gated free parking in the car park, as there doesn’t seem to be much car parking in town and what there is is expensive. We had a good stay in a traditional town pub. For the price of the room, it’s great. There’s a block of rooms behind the pub which must be quieter, if you’re a light sleeper, I’d definitely ask for one of those! We had a great couple of days in Cambridge and Derby was a great base to work from.

A really lovely place

We stayed for a night and had a lovely time. The people who worked there were so lovely and accomodating. The room was really clean, the bed was super comfy and the coffee/tea station in the room was really nice. We had breakfast in the morning and it was absolutey delicious. Overall a 10/10 stay.

Great Staff

Great location, onsite parking rare in area so a massive bonus. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms look recently refurbished. Only downside is the location is on a very busy road so rooms facing this are noisy most of the night. Recommend requesting a room at the rear.
