Lucky dip...

Advantages: Ideal location, wonderfully luxurious building.
Disadvantages: Some of the staff really need further training and/or to work on their attitude to their guests.

Firstly, this is a beautiful building. It's also ideally situated if you don't want to be driving too much as it's slap in the heart of the city. I've stayed there twice now with my partner and she and I share the same opinion. Both times we've had one of their "executive double rooms" and been very impressed with it. The rooms have been comfortable and the beds very luxurious. Our experiences with the customer service have been rather more patchy. ...
...in bed. The tray of food that arrived, while exactly what we ordered was largely cold and inedible, the scrambled eggs, especially, looking as though they'd bounce if they were dropped! My recommendation would be to go for the cereal if you're having breakfast in your room. Or to go down to the ballroom for breakfast. Whenever we've gone down for breakfast we've been lucky enough to be seated in the window overlooking a park and thoroughly enjoyed ...

Review of De Vere University Arms Hotel, Cambridge

Cambridge Crowne Plaza; appeals to all punters!

Advantages: Location, atmosphere...It's luxury in a great city"
Disadvantages: Can be hard to locate

...gave Amanda directions to the Crowne Plaza. Embarrassing, yes! This is not the easiest hotel to find in Cambridge's eco-friendly travel system. We found it, though. Eventually. And we're very, very glad that we did! We arrived, finally, in Downing Street - and located the hotel - an easy task once you know where it is! We pulled up in the front drive and handed over our keys for valet parking. £7.50 was an absolute bargain, and valet parking is always ...
...with what we saw. Standard Crowne Plaza stuff included a very comfortable, very wide King-size bed with pure-white duvet and foot-level bed-spread. They do style really nicely, I think. Nice working desk, comfortable chairs and occasional table. Interactive colour TV, iron, ironing board. There was a modern, quiet, efficient air-conditioning system - so nice to see, after our last trip to a non-air-conditioned hotel on the hottest night of the year. ...

Review of Crowne Plaza Hotel, Cambridge

I wouldn't like to walk to Cambridge from here

Advantages: walking distance from office
Disadvantages: miles from anywhere (like Cambridge)

The Cambridge Belfry used to be owned by Marston but now it is Q and is there any difference? Well not much but some things were worse. Not quite in the league of fawlty towers but try having a hot shower! Well you can but only in the leisure area not in the bedroom. I reported the shower as running cold only when I went out in the morning. When I came back I tried the shower, leaving it running for 7 minutes as advised to do in the hotel information ...
...had been signed off by the maintenance crew. I said I would leave it for fifteen minutes and get back to her. While it was running I tried to log into my lap top. This had worked perfectly the previous evening and that morning so I persevered. No Internet Connection available, I phone reception and was informed it was a hotel wide problem. I had a lot of work to get through so I was none too happy but she said she would telephone the room once it ...

Review of The Cambridge Belfry, Cambridge

Welcoming and comfortable.

Advantages: Location, friendly, clean and comfortable.
Disadvantages: Carpet in the toilet and out dated decor in the rooms.

The hotel is conveniently situated within a 5 minute walk of the centre of Cambridge I stayed here with my husband as a birthday treat for 2 nights in March. We had a twin bedded room at the front of the hotel which gave us a lovely view of the River Cam and Jesus Green. The room was clean, comfortable and in good decorative order, although in need of an update. The bed was comfortable although I personally would have liked a duvet instead of a blanket. ...
...where we could relax and watch TV. The bathroom was small with a shower over the bath. There was a lack of space for toiletries and tooth brushes etc. Although it was clean and in good decorative order I did not like the fitted carpet in the bathroom. The hotel is situated over 3 floors and there isn't a lift so a ground floor room is essential if you find stairs difficult. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful and booking ...

Review of Arundel House Hotel, Cambridge

Working With, Living With

Advantages: Great access to Cambridge
Disadvantages: Maybe thinks it's better than it is?

Ok now hear me out before you start to yell. Whilst I have never stayed in the Moat House Hotel, it is situated in the village I have lived in my entire life.. in fact it's not just situated, it's sitting on my doorstep. If you look out the back of my house you actually look on to the hotels golfcourse, if you exit my road exactly opposite is the staff entrance to the hotel, and if you drive for 10 seconds down the road is the grand entrance. So ...
...around it - and working in it - is what I shall base this review off. Looking for an alternative review? Keep reading. Bar Hill is a village that has been on the grow for quite sometime now, not population wise - as no new homes have been built in for as long as I can remember - but in a business sense the plan for the village was always to offer a lot of jobs and the such. I had to do a project on the village for geography, but the jobs the village ...
