Summary: A bit disappointing. We have stayed here before and it was much better then. For the amount of money that we spent it could have been better. Communication sub-optimal regarding check out.

Summary: Hotel was good, Six restaurant - food great, service great, can’t fault the staff, always helpful and happy! Spa was an external facility next door. Would not use this again as was small and the jacuzzi needed a good clean. Front of desk staff at hotel were very helpful and accommodating and we could not fault the hotel.

Summary: We were greeted by two lovely men at reception. They gave us information regarding the spa opening times and were very pleasant. We spoke with them multiple times throughout the evening durning our comings and goings. They even gave my son a fresh bathrobe, as his was wet after a visit to the connected spa. The spa is small but clean and comfortable. Cucumber and lemon water free for the taking. Towels on hand. We enjoyed an hour of downtime after walking extensively through Cambridge. The room was simply lovely. Very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. There was a clawfoot tub. The only min points could possibly be some street noise the following morning and not enough toiletries for 2 people... one tiny shampoo, conditioner, etc. We will absolutely stay here again and recommend this hotel.

Summary: We booked two rooms for one night at the hotel. The rooms had everything you needed and were very clean and comfortable. The staff are all excellent and extremely helpful. The valet car parking is very easy and worked well. We ate in No 6 and this was very good too.

Summary: Maybe it was just had bad luck, could be a great hotel but was seriously lacking. Aircon and hot water stopped working in my room, but didn’t seem like an urgent matter to resolve, moved room after a protracted process. Six was a disappointment, service was seriously lacking with both food and drinks, staff seemed fair more interested in talking to one another.
