Stella and her husband were the perfect host and hostess. They could not do enough for you. The breakfast you receive every morning was delightful and so were the girls that work there. They always had a friendly greeting for you with a beautiful smile on their faces. The work that they did was immaculate. They clean the rooms daily... More

I had a need for a bed for one night and breakfast in the morning and Helen filled that need. No thrills, no frills, tiny but it was close to the train station and clean. I had a meeting and being that Cambridge is a university town it was difficult to find 4 star type accommodation close to the business... More

Location wise this hotel was perfect as is only a couple of minutes walk from The Junction so no taxis required. However, our double room was incredibly small (more like a single with a double bed crammed in) and looked and smelled tired. Shower room had cracked floor tiles and cracks in the wash basin, and the shower had black... More

Stayed here for on lengthy reviews but feel this hotel deserves a detailed mention: Location - On a main road, but a quiet, safe area near the railway station.Plenty of car parking places. Bit of a walk into the centre, but a regular bus service. Room - large ensuite room with modern attractive furniture.Excellent range of room facilities including wardrobe,chest,... More

I have stayed in a number of guest houses / hotels in Cambridge over the years and this is probably one of the better ones that I have found. I was only staying for one night to see friends so just wanted somewhere near their house and fairly central if I needed to walk back from the City. There will... More

The Helen Hotel would not provide laundry service during my stay and instead I had to walk a VERY long way to the nearest laundromat (there is none near the hotel). I have very few concerns with a hotel - can even deal with thin walls - but one thing that I would expect is a laundry service. Most travellers... More

Stayed one night in the Helen Hotel on a 're-scheduled' sight seeing trip to Cambridge (long story!). We were made to feel welcome on arrival, and when we mentioned that we were sight seeing the hotel provided us with a good street map of Cambridge and also useful bus information. We had a room at the back which was quiet... More

Stayed two nights in a room at the front of the hotel, It was very noisy with traffic all day and night. If you book ask for a room nearer the rear if you are a light sleeper. It a bit dated . Beds very hard but to offset all of the negatives the breakfast was really good and you... More

A colleague and I visited this hotel for one night in July and were very impressed. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. We both had single rooms and although my room was small, it wasn't too tiny - and the bathroom was sizeable compared to other small rooms I have stayed in. Definitely no feelings of claustrophobia! The decor... More
