Our stay was a pleasant surprise with an unexpected upgrade to a spacious apartment, making our one-night stop feel luxurious. The breakfast selection was impressive, with plenty of options to start the day right. However, the absence of a bar and restaurant on-site was a downside, as we had to venture out for evening drinks.

The hotel offers a modern and welcoming reception area, but the rooms feel a bit outdated and small.

However, some aspects of the hotel, like the parking situation and the building's exterior appeal, left something to be desired.

The hotel served its purpose for a short stay, offering decent accommodations at a fair price. The breakfast selections were a highlight, and despite the compact room size, it was clean and cozy. However, some amenities left much to be desired, and the rooms could use some updating. Overall, it’s a reasonable choice if you’re not looking for luxury.

I stayed at this boutique hotel during my visit to Cambridge, and I have to say, it was a mixed experience. The hotel offered a unique charm and character, especially for a short stay. However, some aspects, like the outdated bathroom and the somewhat jaded service at reception, left me wanting more. The location was a definite plus, making it convenient to explore the city, but I think there are better options available.
