Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Cambridge House Hotel is appreciated for its convenient location, especially for those arriving by train, as it's very near the train station, with Cambridge city centre also within easy walking distance. Guests often find the rooms a good size, some even featuring kitchen facilities, comfortable beds and excellent showers; the availability of multiple USB outlets is also a plus for many. While most find the self-service check-in smooth, some have noted that tea and coffee facilities are not always included in the room.

small bathroomdamp smell
I found my stay quite disappointing. the main issue was the small bathroom. it was difficult to move around. The toilet was positioned so closely to the washbasin that it felt cramped. there also was a noticeable damp smell in the room . it's a shame, because the location is quite convenient, but these issues detracted from the experience.
