The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was more like a guest house than a hotel that belonged to a big chain so it had a more personal touch.
It was a little far from the centre but this was easily resolved by an excellent local taxi service.

Perfect location for what we needed.
The road was quite noisy, but I’m used to rural living, en-suite was tiny and a few more toiletries would have been ideal.

Excellent breakfast, Room was nice, excellent location, and the host was great!.
The bathroom, while usable, was the smallest I've ever seen (even smaller than a cruise ship bathroom). Also, very small TV, very high up, so difficult to read anything on the screen.

Lovely host, convenient location, big room and generous tea tray.
Needs a serious update. Shower room was tiny. Breakfast disappointing.

The extremely friendly and funny landlord takes great care to provide all the comforts during your stay. The ideal location means you can get everywhere on foot, but on the other hand, you still feel like you're living outside the hustle and bustle that characterizes the city center.
Everything was ok.

The bed was comfy
Room very cramped. Difficult to get round. Mouldy net curtains. No hooks for towels. A large towel each and only one hand towel. Radiator rusty. Step into bathroom of about 1 inch, extreme trip hazard. Breakfast was included, however paid 10p per person per day. Odd.

Great breakfast. Good shower. Clean in all areas. The bedroom was very warm but thankfully there were openable windows in the bedroom and the ensuite. We managed to get one of the property's 3-4 off-road parking spots. Would stay again.
Slightly noisy floorboards above our room would be our only complaint.

Breakfast was excellent especially for the price. Fruit, yogurt, choice of cereals, cheeses and meats, boiled egg, toast, pastries tea or coffee and orange juice.
I found my stay very relaxed. Room and front door key meant I could come and go when I wanted. I stayed five nights. TV in my room. Also a kettle and tea and coffee provided. A chair and wardrobe with hangers too.
Location was great. Number 1 bus from the station to about a ten minute walk away or possible to change buses in the town to a number 2 which stopped right outside. I came by train but there was parking available.
I chose to stay in a single room without an en-suite (cheaper) and the facilities were close by and only shared by a couple of other people.
I can’t think of anything.

Decent accommodation for the price
Decor clean enough if a bit dated. Could do with a hook or two in the bathroom

Very nice owners of the hotel meeting and greeting and serve breakfast. Really lovely people, easy approach and interesting to talk.
very old rusty bathroom ( rust and grease on everything!), extremely tiny bathroom , no space between toilet and sink, toilet sit was broken, shower hose is short, no locker on bathroom door, no space to undress in the bathroom . One of towel given to us was really smelly ( looks like not washed ) . We put smelly towel on the floor in the morning and when we came back during the day it was placed on the towel holder suggesting we are using it again.

Friendly staff and clean room, location not far from central Cambridge

The owner was super nice and helpful both with us and with other travellers. We particularly liked the breakfast, where he was super attentive to any issues and requests. The location is convenient, there are restaurants, pubs, cafes as well as a Coop supermarket close by and the river Cam and Jesus Green park is within a walking distance too.
Our room was looking at a somewhat busy street and traffic was clearly audible. In the bathroom some parts were a little rusty, but the room was still overall clean.

The host is very kind, has excellent humor, was always up for a chat, and answered all my questions about Cambridge. Very "at home" atmosphere. Bed mattress was excellent. Everything very clean. Location is perfect to visit the May bumps rowing competition on the Cam, which was the main purpose of my visit :-) The main part of town (where all the colleges etc are) can be reached by foot within 15 min.

I needed an accommodation near the Cambridge University St. John's college and was happy to have stayed in the Carlton Lodge. The host is very kind and even provided me a power adapter since I forgot to bring mine. It was always nice to have a chat with him. The room was cozy and warm, with a TV, water sink, and kettle - for me, everything I needed. The WC was directly nearby. All in all a very nice stay - thanks a lot! :)

Exactly what I needed. A warm house close to the centre, with a good Continental style breakfast and a most helpful
host.
Breakfast time was different from the notice in room.

Great location for a gig at the The Portland Arms, and for walking into Cambridge. Having a parking space was an added bonus. Ciaran was very friendly host and the room was comfortable and quiet. Had a great night's sleep. Compact but clean bathroom.

I had a lovely stay at Carlton Lodge. Their location is perfect for anyone wanting to walk around beautiful Cambridge and breakfast has everything you need to start your day well. My bed was very comfy and, all in all, I truly felt at home. Ciaran is an excellent sparring partner with a very kind presence. I can only recommend having all the nice chats!

Proprietor was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Breakfast was egg-cellent, happy it was included. Bathrooms a little small, but to be expected for an English bed and breakfast.
