More than accommodation; an experience, superior hospitality, cultural and natural surrounds, excellent service shown, extra friendly and helpful folk, a feeling of community. I appreciated the courtesy and kindness encountered. Perfect if busy bordering roads could be quietened at night!

Large modern room on first floor of building 4 with ensuite, great location, friendly porters, beautiful old buildings and gardens around and a nice breakfast. Sadly the stay was spoiled by getting very little sleep because of extremely poor soundproofing. You expect to hear loud partying, but I could hear every car go past and every normal conversation outside, which could easily be fixed by some modern soundproofing. I feel sorry for any student assigned that room longterm.

I would highly recommend a stay if you can get a room in a different block or away from the street.

I had a shared bathroom room and it backed straight onto King Street so I was serenaded by the song of the number 1 and number 3 bus going past, with guest appearances from drunk yelling people. The room itself was surprisingly nice and warm which is hard to get in Cambridge. The shared bathroom (next to room 4.02) was a bit sad – the bath needed the drain cleaning out, the shower curtain was too long and dragged across the bottom of the bath to try and trip me (so I didn’t even try to shower, just had a shallow bath). The toilet roll holder was bizarrely sticking out right where you put your arm when you sit on the toilet so you have to sort of exist around it like a rude neighbour on a plane.

The porters were absolutely lovely and helped me out when I didn’t have my phone charger at 11pm. The breakfast was amazing – they even had vegan yoghurt! Nobody has vegan yoghurt! It made me feel so valued!
