We were greeted by two lovely men at reception. They gave us information regarding the spa opening times and were very pleasant. We spoke with them multiple times throughout the evening durning our comings and goings. They even gave my son a fresh bathrobe, as his was wet after a visit to the connected spa. The spa is small but clean and comfortable. Cucumber and lemon water free for the taking. Towels on hand. We enjoyed an hour of downtime after walking extensively through Cambridge. The room was simply lovely. Very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. There was a clawfoot tub. The only min points could possibly be some street noise the following morning and not enough toiletries for 2 people... one tiny shampoo, conditioner, etc. We will absolutely stay here again and recommend this hotel.

The hotel itself is lovely. The reception staff were really welcoming and helpful. The room itself was nice. The bed and pillows however were really uncomfortable. We were also on the 5th floor and there was a lot of banging from the restaurant above until late. We would stay again but in a different room/floor.

Our stay was pleasant overall. The room was decent, though it would have been nice to have a fridge bar. The bed could have been more comfortable, and the pillows were a bit too soft for our liking. Breakfast was enjoyable—I had the egg royale, and my partner opted for the smashed avocado, both of which we really liked. The spa was nice, but it was quite busy when we went, so we couldn’t fully relax as we had hoped. However, the treatment we received was wonderful and very relaxing. All in all, we had a lovely weekend, and the staff were welcoming.

The room was lovely, bed very comfy, but room was at front of hotel and very noisy, even for a city hotel. Staff were good and helpful. Spa treatment was amazing but spa needs some refurbishment as was a little tired. But we did love our little stay in Cambridge

The rooms are lovely, views amazing and I used to stay here frequently a few years ago, so was an easy go to when visiting Cambridge after being away for several years. My challenge was the level of noise that disturbed me overnight, I am a light sleeper so used to being disturbed, however it was several times during the night and early hours. Usually a small lie in keeps me going however again the noise disturbance prevented that too … I wasn’t asked how my stay was to provide feedback as I checked out … or I would have done and may have just been the room I booked which was beautifully decorated, comfy bed, great temp control and spacious … I should take ear plugs with me and be able to give a glowing report as everything else was great

The hotel is a nice hotel, the staff were very friendly and efficient, it’s a great location for everything in Cambridge. The room was excellent. The food in “Six” was not very good. We ordered 4 different starters, as a snack - Tapas style, however they were all poor, and you could buy better at M&S. sorry, the rest of the stay was very good, the food let it down a bit.

Very expensive and not worth the money. Rooms are small for the price you pay. Rooftop cocktail bar had very unhelpful staff - disappointing that all the cocktails were from premixed bags and you could only order from the limited drinks menu. Took a month for my £50 holding deposit to be returned. Avoid.

Hotel was good, Six restaurant - food great, service great, can’t fault the staff, always helpful and happy! Spa was an external facility next door. Would not use this again as was small and the jacuzzi needed a good clean. Front of desk staff at hotel were very helpful and accommodating and we could not fault the hotel.
