Christs College - short break

Very central, easy to find, extremely clean. Basic, no frills (TV, hair dryer etc). Good size bathroom. Lack of lift to floors could be off putting to some.

As it was in the student accommodation it is fairly basic but suited my needs perfectly. You can feel the history as you walk through the courtyards, fantastic location. Breakfast was fine as well. Beautiful city to walk around in.

It is really interesting to stay “in college” for those of us who have never had the experience. Don’t expect luxuries. But the room was large, clean and comfortable; the breakfast “in hall” was fine. The location is perfect for seeing all the Cambridge sights. Something a little different than a run of the mill hotel room.

The accommodation itself was fine but it was impossible to sleep without earplugs because of the shouting and general racket from people in the area immediately outside. I had to keep the window closed despite the hot weather which also severely limited my sleep.

This property should not be classified a Hotel; it's like going back to old student time and living in the hostel; It is fine for back packers and tourists going round different cities. The tariff of £150 is too much to pay- should not be more than £60. There was no on site parking and we had to use park and ride facility- very inconvenient indeed. I hope Expedia would look into this and stop advertising listing as Hotel in Cambridge city.
