Monica

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very convenient location to visit Cambridge. Small room with basic furniture but clean. Breakfast offered several options and staff was very kind. My room was in a concrete block so I missed the atmosphere of living in one of the historical buildings. However, the room was facing one of the inner courtyards and was silent at night. Ensuite bathroom was really very very tiny. Overall, a pleasant experience - well recommended.
