The hotel is perfectly located within two minutes of the historic centre and all the colleges. At the same time it’s in a quiet cul de sac by the fields and on the bank of the river Cam. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. It genuinely feels like a boutique with careful design, pretty furniture. Only the breakfast reminds you it’s part of Hilton with its cheap cereal, pre-made fruit salad and plastic looking eggs. This is the only negative. In every other way this is a perfect choice to visit Cambridge. Very conveniently located. We had been upgraded to a very spacious room with a balcony. It’s very sparse on bathroom amenities (nothing by the sink other than soap). But otherwise great value for the price.
