Friendly staff, excellent Full English breakfast. Careless on check-in, key cards activated for only one day. We were locked out on second day, but receptionist was present and came to the door. Check your card, receptionist goes home about 10pm, panic call to their main hotel (The Arundel) would be needed.

Hotel is in a time warp from 1990's. Room nice, decor was outdated. Great location to walk into centre of Cambridge along River Cam and parks. Highlight was the two sisters who run the breakfast and house keeping. So friendly, fun and accommodating.

The only thing I liked were the sheets and towels were clean. I don’t mind it being old and needing an update but dirty is another thing. When arriving I was shocked at the outside condition. Then you cannot get in until 3 as the hotel is locked with no receptionist. The breakfast was ok but felt sorry for the waitresses as so busy and obviously under staffed. Would never stay here again

A great base to stay to explore Cambridge from

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Ashley Hotel. Although externally and to a degree internally it is a little tired and dated, our room was clean, the bed comfy and the shower excellent with plenty of hot water. The full english breakfast was a treat to look forward to and the serving staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Parking within the grounds was plentiful and free and the walk into central Cambridge only took 15 minutes via pleasant parkland paths. All in all a great place to stay if visiting Cambridge.

Check-in process was confusing. Ashley hotel has a short check-in window; late arrivals have to check in at its parent hotel. Complimentary breakfast was nice. Breakfast room was so inviting, and the breakfast service staff were a highlight due to their warmth and friendly manner.

We were a bit dubious when we first saw the outside but the interior was bright and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of choice for breakfast. Ideal location for Cambridge city centre - a pleasant 20 minute stroll through the park ( or catch a bus from the front of the hotel).We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was clean and generally comfortable but it is definitely in need of decoration and refurbishing. It seemed unusual that there was no staff resident outside of a few hours a day though. The breakfast was good and the staff who served us were excellent.
