The most intimate hotel I stayed in in Cambridge, comfortable and warm, with very convenient transportation, next to a food supermarket and Costa, and very close to the train station and bus station.

A family of three booked a family suite. The room had four beds, which was quite big. The hotel is quite old, and it is an old-fashioned hotel + restaurant. The first floor is the hotel bar, and the second floor is the guest room. The door is still opened with a key. If you like the British style of the 1990s, you can try it. The hotel still uses a book to check in, which is very old school. When registering at the door, the local elders joked and spoke a few words in Chinese, which was very cute. The bar downstairs should also be the club of the local football team.

The guest room is located on the second floor of the bar. The decoration facilities are good and the cleaning is very clean. The accommodation experience is good. Although it is a bar, it is not very noisy at night. There will be some noise from passing vehicles in the rooms near the roadside, but the impact is not big. The only drawback is that there is no special locked room for luggage storage. It is only left in the corner of the corridor without special supervision.

Great Staff Great location, onsite parking rare in area so a massive bonus. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms look recently refurbished. Only downside is the location is on a very busy road so rooms facing this are noisy most of the night. Recommend requesting a room at the rear.

We stayed at Early of Derby for one night and it was perfect! Either a 30 min walk or 5 min uber into town, the location is great. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The room was clean and had everything you need! They even left a little bag of mini eggs as we stayed on Easter weekend! We will definitely be staying here again.
