It was an ok stay
The hotel could do with some updating and modernisation
Was greeted very briefly when first arrived, but not at breakfast or when we left

Breakfast service was good but poor services because the online description of the facility that influenced my booking was misleading and did not match the room provided upon my arrival and I had security concerns.
The staff were very accommodating, the breakfast food was lovely, and you could get a private room for such a low price

The location is a bit out of the way and it could be cleaner, but for the price I am not going to complain. There is an electric kettle and a microwave available in the breakfast room.
This place was what I could describe as the worst place. They gave my room to someone else and couldn’t get them out and gave me what I could describe as staff quarters no tea coffee I didn’t sleep as I felt unsafe as a lone woman and a member off staff was shouting on her phone most of the night. Keep well away
The room was disgusting as there were cobwebs on the ceiling. There was dust on the furniture. I noticed a small creature on my bed too. I would never stay here again.

Excellent value
Great value budget accommodation with breakfast included. Can't go wrong at the price, especially for Cambridge
Only stopped at this place for one night. Couldn't stop for longer. It's very basic and dated. The breakfast is not good and very limited. I felt it was expensive for what it was. It was worth half what I paid.

It was basic,perfect for a sleep over and price was okish.
The location was ok. No tea making facilities, no shampoo, scruffy room, sagging curtains, broken fittings. Warm welcome, easy to park, taxi arrived on time.

rooms was nice but the halls was like out the shining, breakfast was awful, don’t book if you want to be feed in the morning, it toast and cereal and the butter and jam had been mixed, probably because of the lack of cutlery

It is situated quite a ways from Cambridge downtown…
The Lodge looked tired and short of a coat of paint.

Lady on arriving very nice. But private bathroom does not mean en suite it is a separate shower and toilet along corridor which did not look private and needed a good clean. Generally if you want something very basic not fussy about cleanliness and don’t want to spend a lot of money then this place is perfect

Average hotel. Could have provided soap for shower and improved wifi access. Breakfast is sub par
The beds were so squeaky you could hardly sleep. They only supplied one pillow each. The breakfast was more for non English without a doubt. Electric wires hanging out inside the building everywhere. Wasn’t impressed at all
