Friendly, welcoming staff in this budget hotel which is about a mile from the centre. I stayed with a group of cyclists and we were grateful for secure accommodation for the bikes in the garden to which there is no guest access. No cooked breakfast but plenty of choice for continental. My room was small but if you want better you have to pay much more. It's not the University Arms Hotel where I stayed for a college reunion, at much greater cost.

Nice hotel. Room was decorated nice and has improved since I last went a few years ago. Staff are very nice and helpful. Only downside is the breakfast. If there's one thing that's important after a hotel stay and that's the breakfast in the morning. I hope this is something they can work on and get right.

Have just spent a weekend at the Lensfield hotel. A group of 6 friends. Great location. Ideal for walking into the city. Fantastic staff. The continental breakfast was superb - so much choice. Hadn't got any soya milk at first - but it arrived within 5 minutes of asking. Everything immaculately clean. All in all a fantastic find. Amazing value for the price in a city full of very expensive hotels. Thanks to all at the hotel for making our trip to Cambridge so special.
