“Great location. Rooftop bar will be a must when we visit again ( in the summertime). Restaurant very good. Good food, good service. Recommended”

“LIKE: pretty much everything except the parking arrangements and cost (bit on the high side, but it is right in the middle of a tourist hotspot). The weather was unkind when we were there, but the rooftop terrace looks sensational.”

“Good room, friendly staff, good food, excellent location in the centre of Cambridge, really nice bar/restaurant. Only a couple of minor complaints (see below) but generally a really nice place. Food and drinks are reasonably priced which makes up for the rooms being a little pricey.”
