Monica

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very convenient location to visit Cambridge. Small room with basic furniture but clean. Breakfast offered several options and staff was very kind. My room was in a concrete block so I missed the atmosphere of living in one of the historical buildings. However, the room was facing one of the inner courtyards and was silent at night. Ensuite bathroom was really very very tiny. Overall, a pleasant experience - well recommended.

A very reasonably priced accommodation for central Cambridge. The rooms were functional (being student accommodation essentially) but perfectly clean and reasonable. There is no car parking, but staff allowed me to leave my motorbike within the grounds which was very much appreciated. The breakfast was excellent.

Excellent Value for Money. Cooked breakfast was great value. College is historic , founded by Margaret Beaufort , mother of Henry VII. Rooms are student rooms, so don’t expect four star hotel rooms. A really interesting place to stay for a couple of nights.

It’s been a huge privilege to have been allowed to stay in this wonderful place. Staying in a college makes the whole experience of Cambridge so much better. I’ve stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the college, breakfast and all the other colleges I’ve visited. Highly recommended!
