Single room was small, but clean and with everything you could need. Staff were friendly and helpful, and location is convenient for the town centre.

The Lensfield Hotel is a haven of happiness. Family run hotel for over 50 years! Very welcoming and friendly and helpful. The hotel lobby is spacious yet cosy and there is a seating area to work or just relax with bar and warm drinks. Breakfast excellent: fresh patissieries, croissants and all things continental with wonderful selection of fruits and yogurts and preserves. Excellent service too. Bedroom v comfortable, clean and warm. Cosy and private. I would highly recommend this gem in the centre of Cambridge

I stayed here last year, So you knew about the place before staying this time. The position within Cambridge is a huge plus. The pricing is at the cheaper end of what is available in Cambridge. However, it has everything needed for a comfortable night stay. We left before breakfast to get an early train, but I believe it’s a buffet breakfast. It’s also walkable from the train station. I would say approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Comfortable stay with lovely, helpful staff. The hotel sits on a main road but is quiet. Parking was a bit awkward but staff directed me towards residential parking with no extra cost. I would return.

My shortest ever stay
Well, I left and didn’t stay. Even when I’d paid in advance. The room was £152 and when I arrived my heart sank. It just seemed old and tired and in a style similar to 1980s tv show fawlty towers. Anyway, I persevered and was shown to my room. When I opened the bedroom door a wave of musty damp smell hit me and I knew it wasn’t for me. I complained and was shown to an alternative room. I have to say it was pleasant service and the assistant did try to help. But the family room option was equally depressing albeit without the smell. In summary I’d say go elsewhere if you can afford to. If the budget is tight you’ll be ok here but measure your expectations.

I needed to find a hotel at short notice and booked for three nights. I can honestly say I have never been in such a clean hotel - and I travel a lot - and the warmth of the welcome and care of the staff was amazing. So thoughtful, so caring. I had a very reasonably priced breakfast is recommended and I went to have some spa treatments which were out of this world. Have already booked another stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Cambridge for the first time as it’s easy to walk to the city centre.

Nice close to town hotel for the price
Nice property located a reasonable walk from the city center. Staff helped bring the baggage to the room and very helpful on questions regarding the city. The breakfast provided is very complete non cooked continental type, no option for an English cooked breakfast. Parking on site is only 5 or 6 spots, all others will have to fend for themselves on the street. We were lucky when we arrived, and did not move the car during our stay.

An excellent location for walking around Cambridge. Room was small but that is expected with the age of the building. Otherwise the room was very nice. Breakfast buffet was nice too. I really enjoyed my stay.

Centrally located budget-friendly property. Cambridge is expensive but if you’re looking for a clean and convenient place to stay, this hits the mark. Good selection of TV channels if you want smthg to watch before bed. Kettle in room. Car park out front for 5 cars, or larger car park ~8 min walk away. Note: not possible to unload luggage if car park out front is full! Only downside: shower pressure does NOT get strong. Gets hot out not strong.

My 'small single' room was indeed small, but workable (two windows were a plus), quiet (at the back of the building) and very competitively priced. At £7 the continental (that is, all cold) breakfast was worth it for me -- a lot was on offer, buffet-style -- and the staff were friendly and efficient. I'd definitely return.

The outside of the hotel is lively but that’s where the delight ends. The stairs up to the room were steep and difficult to navigate with luggage. The staff did not offer assistance. The was very run down and the mattress awful. Not worth the money being charged in my opinion. I was hoping for a charming English inn and this was not it.

It's a lovely place, friendly and helpful staff. The room was great and much closer to the heart of Cambridge than it seemed at first. There's a nice little café just around the corner, along with some nice restaurants (Little Rose has great food). I did the hop on/off bus tour to get a feel for the city, and the hotel is just off one of the stops, so convenient for touristing.

Very unique old world-charm property. Doesn’t feel like a cookie cutter hotel chain. Easy walking distance to the city centre without being in the thick of things. Pubs and coffee shops are within a block. Would stay here again.

Pleasant hotel in Cambridge.
This is a pleasant affordable hotel in Cambridge. Close to the city centre and local attractions. It can be quite loud in rooms due to the busy road outside. There is no air con. The staff are great and super helpful all the time and they really make the stay go well.

I was in a room with two twin beds. One had dead bugs in it when I pulled back the covers. The other had a large hole in the sheet. Overall, the place is old and dingy.
