Hotels Near Nightingale Playground in Cambridge

What you must say is that the price is right, and parking is very convenient

It is the most comfortable hotel I stayed in during this trip to the UK. The room was larger than equivalent hotels in London and the bedding was very good. The most important thing is that the breakfast experience is great. The waiters and ladies are full of Cambridge temperament. When ordering food, the food is excellent.

The hotel is in a good location. You can walk everywhere. It is surrounded by the most popular attractions in Cambridge. The room facilities are a bit old but the space is quite large. The breakfast is OK.

I have given this an average review more because of my disappointment than how the room was. Christ College looked so promising.... and indeed it it is stunning. But not all of it....be warned So after a lovely day I got back to the porters lodge. I was tired. I received a map and a key. I was told I needed to walk through the college I got lost twice because what the map did not tell me was the whole of the back of the college was a building site. So I had to duck under scaffolding and Circumnavigate tarpaulin.... it was like a maze. I eventually found my way to the right place. An ugly block of flats which was certainly not in the lovely *********** photos. Not only that.... a very high Spiral staircase awaited me. I got to floor 4... I saw another stair case but it wasn’t to my room. I then saw another spiral staircase. Also not to my room. At that point I figured it was not going to get any better. So I didn't stay there. Now this was a personal choice of mine so if you are young and sprightly this might be fine for you. The room I would have stayed in was Very Cheap. Not sure if you get an en suite bathroom though. It is in a central location and the porters are very lovely and friendly. But it was not for me. There was an element of misrepresentation here, as although it said in the blurb there was building works, that is an understatement. It did mention stairs but NOT two Spiral staircases. So I think that needs to be addressed.

The single room is spacious, the service attitude is good, the hotel breakfast environment and food are also good, it is a house hotel with good value for money. It is several levels better than the same type of house hotel in Edinburgh, recommended.

No bed for third person made up, called receptionist I was told someone will come and do it, this was at 19:00 no one ever came, even after following up over the phone. I spent night sleeping without bedding, on plain sofa bed without a single pillow. Terrible experience and poor service. Not enough towels, just for one person & again after calling reception- I was told that they ran out of towels!!! This was enough for my family to bare after whole day of travel, especially the room booked was Executive one. So expected to be up to highest standard and service to be over the top, this isn’t the case. Cleanliness is very poor - see pictures. Dust everywhere and this wasn’t one day worth. After asking for partial refund due to poor service, I was given a silly look and smile, advised to sent email online. Do not bother going there.

I had an absolutely remarkable experience. From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby, I was greeted by warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that lasted throughout my entire stay. The ambiance was nothing short of enchanting. The tastefully designed interiors exuded a sense of sophistication and tranquility, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. My room was spacious and was meticulously clean and beautifully appointed. The comfortable bed and luxurious amenities ensured a blissful night's sleep. One aspect that truly set this aparthotel apart was its exceptional staff. Every interaction was met with impeccable service and attention to detail. Furthermore, the aparthotel's facilities were top-notch. The well-equipped gym offered a range of rejuvenating activities, allowing me to unwind and indulge in self-care. In conclusion, my stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Impeccable service, breathtaking surroundings, and attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this aparthotel to anyone seeking a truly exceptional stay in Cambridge.

Firstly, I have to say, some of the reviews here are a poor reflection on what actually is offered. The hotel and gardens itself is stunningly beautiful, and the rooms although small are gorgeously decorated and have most things you would need in them, including a fan. You have to realise this is a very old building, so it will have its charms (for example, not all windows will open in the older part of the house) but overall, the beauty of the rooms outweigh these small details, and the rooms are thoughtful and homely. Alison runs a ”dry venue” so she will make sure everything runs to plan, but really it is up to you to make sure the day runs as it should. They don't have facility to offer you a bar/restaurant - however what they do offer is very well executed. They are pretty hands off, which is fine, I just asked permission for what I needed, briefed everyone thoroughly and the day went without a hitch. I personally couldn't have been happier. Check-in is from 1500 which is stated when you book the room, which for the majority of people who came to our wedding was fine, it is contactless, no issue there as far as I'm concerned. The bridal suite isn't available until 11am - which in my case was fine. I paid for another room in which to get ready and leave my dress etc the day before which saved a scramble on the day. It was only up the corridor from the bridal suite and I only took what I needed. The caterer RF recommend - CDC are absolutely flawless, and our food and drinks service was absolutely outstanding. Sam who was put in charge of running our day, and Ellena who looked after us in the lead up were absolutely fantastic. The food was tasty, hot, and plentiful, we opted for buffet style and I can't find a single guest who had anything negative to say about the entire day. I hired a company to decorate and pack down my marquee the next day - and someone to deliver my wine (a man in a van) which was a godsend as again, no faff! Without the help of these companies you would end up doing it yourself, and in the terms of the contract you do have to vacate the marquee by 10am so do bear this in mind. I think considering my wedding isn't the only one this year (shocking, I know) that was absolutely fair enough, and these times were easily achievable by my team. CDC cleared everything to the side - bless them, and Roger locked the marquee overnight so everything was easily packed into our car the next day and safe. Breakfast did change in the time between booking and getting married, but the English charm of the self boiled eggs, the portmerion dishes and the little pots of tea and toast was adorable and not far away from what I would have wanted had I been at home. Her staff (I'm so sorry I can't recall names) were friendly, polite and the lady doing breakfast was a total sweetheart. If you did fancy a fry up, coton orchards is a minute alway, but quite honestly what was on offer was perfect for us and our small group (we had

Even though the hotel is far from Cambridge downtown, it is clean and surrounded by several stores where one can get everything when needed. The reception ladies are very handful, and they provided help when we needed it. Getting an Uber from the hotel is also tricky, as it depends on the time of the day you request one.
