Teas/coffee can be made any time. Iron and hair dryer available to borrow. Ample free parking. Very well located for Papworth and Addenbrookes. Excellent eateries nearby. Excellent value.

    Booked in online and was met by a lovely lady. We could have as much Tea and Coffee as we wanted available in the breakfast room. Room was warm clean and tidy. We just needed a bed for the night and you pay for what you get. Breakfast was toast, cereal and cold Buffet.

    Good place with a helpful manager. You get what you expect and read in the reviews. The building and the door are not accessible for people with mobility issues. They probably have a lift but it doesn't work. Breakfasts were pretty sufficient. Make sure you read a few reviews to prepare yourself for your stay, for example, bringing your toiletries along. They could clean their electric kettles for better hygiene. Rest was fine. I took the private bathroom outside the room option which worked fine for me. I stayed there for a week. Would go there again.
