The Double Room was really nice—spacious and comfy. The bed was huge and super relaxing. Loved the decor, and all the little details made it feel special. The bathroom was a highlight with a big shower, and having a tablet by the bed was handy for info. Just a fab room all around!

We had a fantastic stay with great views from our room and enjoyed the delicious lamb chops at dinner. The spa offered a relaxing sauna and a serene steam room that helped us unwind after a long day. A minor hiccup was the bathroom having a strange smell, but it didn’t put a damper on our overall enjoyment. 😊

Just a smart choice for a weekend escape in Cambridge with great value for money. The staff were super polite and welcoming, especially Kevin at the front desk who gave us a few laughs. Check local parking options beforehand to avoid high valet fees.

The location is top-notch, right by the river with fantastic rooftop views. The room was cozy with a comfortable bed, perfect for a good night’s sleep. I loved the spacious spa and the treatments offered. they were rejuvenating. Breakfast was decent but didn’t quite live up to the price. paying extra for the meal felt a bit unfair. The vibe at the rooftop bar was lively, but it could get noisy if you're trying to relax. One frustrating moment was the slow lift, especially during peak times, making it a hassle to move around. the reception staff were attentive and helped with my requests. The location made exploring the city an absolute breeze, making it easy to pop out and find restaurants or attractions quickly.

Perfect getaway with a twist!
Had a fab 2-night stay! The room was super comfy with a cozy balcony and amazing views. Loved the sauna and steam room—it was a nice touch! Staff were all chill and friendly, but the restaurant got a bit crowded during breakfast, making it hard to find space. a lovely spot for a couple's retreat.

Stunning rooftop views. Valet parking is a bit pricey. Bicycle rental adds a nice touch for exploring. Room cleanliness could be improved.

Perfect spot for a romantic getaway
We had a blast staying here! The room was super comfy and even had a cute birthday cake waiting for my partner. Location was fab, right by the river with easy walks to everything. The rooftop bar was a nice touch, but the room was a bit noisy at night from outside sounds.

the staff were sooo nice and helpful, they even parked our car for us which was a total lifesaver. room was super clean, and we loved the central location, walking distance to everything. the valet parking is a bit pricey but totally worth it since parking in cambridge can be a hassle. the comfiest bed ever, we slept like babies! breakfast was great too, lovely views from the restaurant on the top.
but the rooftop bar drinks were way overpriced and not that special. we also had issues with room service, they added a tray charge that wasn't mentioned anywhere.
