Newnham College - University of Cambridge

Everything, especially the little cafe -it meant we didn't always have to hunt for a cafe nearby! The location was super, incidetally, and the rooms modern and clean. And LOVED having our own bathroom! the porters were fabulous too.

The beds are doubles - not large doubles - quites a challeng for two adults used to kingsized beds, but you explain that so we knew.

The grounds/garden was beautiful a quiet oasis in the city. Staff more than helpful, location perfect.

We were greated by the porters, who were friendly and very helpful. The rooms and halls etc were well kempt. The beds very comfy. We spent a great deal of time in the gardens, which were glorious, so very well planted. Lots of green to enjoy and deck chairs to use. The roof top was a favourite spot for a morning coffee and to look out over the gardens a great start.

The reception staff were excellent, both on check in and check out. The shower was good (but sadly not great water pressure).

I think its rather expensive (£156 per night) for a basic student double room with en suite, and there is no breakfast included. The room was bear, no bedside lights and you had the choice of a bright top light or the desk light. The room was hot and trying to get some ventilation with the limited window opening was not easy. The bed base was bigger than the mattress and made of wood, with sharp corners, the same colour as the wooden flooring.....we both stubbed our toes / feet more than once! Only one pillow each, so sitting up in bed was not possible. For this money, better off staying at a Premier Inn in the city!
