Expensive for not being able to connect.

Wifi is unacceptably bad and the TV won't even load the TV guide. The bathroom is stupid as has a step and a door which only pulls shut, so you can't close it quietly. Fine if you're on your own, not if you are sharing and its the middle of the night!! £190 for rubbish wifi and a rock solid bed just isn't ok.

The hotel is in a good position if you've come by train, however let down by being a bit tired. The twin beds were very narrow, and were pushed together to start with. Pushing them apart revealed a dirty floor. It was ok but I won't stay here next time.

Ideally situated next to Cambridge train station, but still quite a walk into the centre. However plenty of taxis outside and cheap uber gets you to centre easily.

Modern comfortable and friendly

For convenience to the station this cannot be beaten. Whilst out of the window you can see almost a depot of trains, you can hear nothing from the outside. The whole place is new and well designed and the staff seemed happy and motivated. The only TINY downside was the really thin cheap toilet paper. I’m sure for a small upgrade in your cost the guest would appreciate something a little more robust! Would I come again - hell yes. It’s amazing
