Hotel was placed within easy walking distance of the centre of Cambridge. There is free parking behind the hotel. The bedroom was clean and well furnished, very comfortable bed. The en-suite was very small, and the shower was hot and powerful. The breakfast was freshly prepared, and served in a well presented dining area.

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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We reserved a two night “non-refundable” stay here in July 2025. After checking in to room 9, we discovered: 1) the toilet wouldn’t flush, 2) the shower drain was clogged and pooled up, and 3) one of the sink’s faucet handles just fell off. After calling the front desk and asking for a different room or repairs to these issues, we were told that they couldn’t help us. After only 2 hours, we decided it was not an acceptable room for our family of 3, booked a new hotel, and checked out. Even though the Hotel Manager agreed that the room state was unacceptable, this property will not refund us for our stay, claiming it was a “non-refundable” booking. They failed to provide the facilities we paid for, yet still charged us even though we didn’t stay there. This establishment severely lacks integrity.

The room is far better than premier inn. Breakfast (full English or Continental) was included and served by a waitress and excellent. Parking was free. Access to the city center was easy (20 mins walk). Our room was disturbed by the kitchen extractor fan in the early morning. But it still deserves a 5 star :-)

Poor room allocation

The room itself was comfortable and spacious, all amenities present, the breakfast staff welcoming. But, a school group was present in the hotel and staying above us. They had very loud gatherings in the room above both nights until late, and as such sleep was evasive. At one point I had to go to the room and ask them to stop because there was no receptionist to ask for assistance at this hour.
