The location by Jesus Common is excellent for walking to town and to the Wilberforce Road Sports Ground. We found parking about 7 minutes away. We were a little disappointed that our 'deluxe double room (Super King) was the same room ('double room') that we had the year before. It is quite cosy but difficult to open the small window due to secondary glazing and difficult to clean teeth due to shelf above the tiny washbasin.

A nice, good value room above a pub with a central location, and easy walking to Cambridge sights.

The accommodation was OK which says it all. Nothing was particularly bad and nothing was exceptional except its location to the river and centre. Parking a nightmare and the bathroom sink is ridiculously small, real trouble turning the shower on

Lovely hotel but the emergency exit light in our room (4) was so bright it was difficult to sleep. Couldn’t fault it otherwise but obviously this is an issue restwise Really pleasant staff and nice location just out of town

All was good, possibly the best “full English” ever. The bar did close at 22:30which was a bit early for us.

Stayed at the Waterman for our anniversary trip to Cambridge. Was a bit further away from town than expected however it was a pleasant walk into town. Waterman welcome was very nice. Stayed in room one. Bed comfortable apart from the pillows we both had neck ache by the 2nd night. Could have done with drawers in the room as the storage was very limited and only 4 hangers for 2 of us for 2 nights. Ceiling/wall fan didn’t work and one bulb in toilet / shower room kept flickering for the 1st 5 minutes of being turned on. Window was small in the room and obscured as it looks over the pub garden. Room had hairdryer and a floor fan and tea / coffee making facilities. Overall a pleasant stay. Breakfast wasn't included if not booked direct which wasn’t clear when booking through hotels.com especially as I had filtered for accommodation that included breakfast.

It was very hot in the room, some proper air con rather than a fan would have been welcome. Food was pretty good, more gluten free options would be welcomed. Staff were very pleasant, and the location was excellent (we were staying over night to see a gig at the portland arms!). Tea and coffee making facilities and water in the room was good (some biccies too would be nice). Shower was good too. All in all would recommend. Wish we'd actually booked for 2 nights not just one.

Didn’t check in as the outside of the building looked run down. Not as the pictures on the website suggested. I didn’t bother checking in as I am tired of being constantly let down.
