I stayed at this hotel for two nights at the beginning of Frebuary and it was a nice stay. The staff is very helpful and nice, the rooms are well-equipped and the bathroom is also clean and nice. Breakfast is good and varied. The cons I would highlight is that if you have a heavy suitcase, and you are given... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night. I had a single ensuite room ( room no157). I was a bit wary having read the reviews and I was positively surprised. Positives: 1. The room was clean 2. The room was quiet (at the back of the building) 3. Although on the small size, I was able to move around... More

Two things readers might want to bear in mind about Cambridge: it's an expensive city and there are very few hotels right in the centre. Fact is, Cambridge gets loads of tourists and visitors of all kinds so space is at a huge premium. So, with that starting point, the Lensfield Hotel hits many of the right buttons: it's right...

We actually enjoyed our stay, the rooms were clean and we had everything we needed. The staff were very helpful and it was good location. The only downside is the lack of parking, only 5 spaces and the rooms are slightly over accessorized, it looked like Laurence Llewellyn Bowen had styled them. More

We have stayed at this hotel twice. It is in an excellent location, the rooms are not huge but it is not a problem to us at all. Breakfasts are good with a wide choice of food and very attentive staff. There are only a few car parking spaces outside the hotelbut it is not that far to a car... More

The sprawled greek family of the hotel owners dominated the entry and reception area in a very unprofessional way. The room was old, small and outdated. Although the breakfast was generous, everything tasted like it was spoiled or old or in some way just wrong. In the end all I could really trust was the tea and toast. I was... More

No where near as bad as what other reviews have stated. We had two twin rooms and one family room between 7 of us. Yes, the rooms are quite small, but the hotel is an old building, so this should be expected. The hotel emailed me when I booked to advise that the hotel is being renovated and even though... More

The rooms are extremely small, to the point that if one has 2 pieces of luggage one cannot get out of the door. The bathroom is so small that one can hardly stand. The rooms are very hot, even when outside it's fresh, and the windows don't open properly. The structure is so old that one can hear every single... More

I rate the room a good value for the price. But the breakfast is beyond expectations - everything you expect in an English Breakfast and more - from cold cuts to coffee cakes. Excellent location for visiting the Scott Polar Institute and Fitzwilliam museum. More

Pay attention when they say "LOWER GROUND/BASEMENT FLOOR". Our son had an interview, so the first day we had a room for two persons. Small, but ok, at first floor. On the next day we needed an extra place, so we were forced to move to another room (all agreed during reservation). The problem is: they moved our luggages and... More
