    The breakfast was freshly prepared using locally sourced ingredients, including poached eggs, toast, and continental options, which I found to be worth the price. The hotel's location is perfect, being very close to all universities, the river, and all of the main attractions in Cambridge.

    The staff was friendly, helpful and always professional. Wonderful bar, beautiful garden and good breakfast. I was allowed to borrow the new bicycles for free. Great surprise. The situation is perfect.

    The room was extremely dark. The mattress was uncomfortable. The equipment for a 4 star hotel inappropriate.
