Breakfast v g. Clean and comfortable. efficiency. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the room well equipped and comfortable, and the breakfast excellent ( we did not have dinner).the bathroom in my room had a jacuzzi and a sauna - which was lovely! compensated for the smaller sizing of the room. Breakfast good in an airy dining room. It is a little distance from the centre of Cambridge, but parking was available - often not the case here. Good value hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and pleasant. The room was very comfortable and was good value for money. The food and service in the restaurant was very good. Staff were very helpfull, I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was neat and tidy and situated right next to a bus stop which takes you right into town. Its also within walking distance of a new leisure park which has gym,cinema, restaurants and bowling. Breakfast was nice and staff were polite and seemed helpful.Good breakfast, nice breakfast room in the conservatory. Friendly and helpful staff on a busy night. Convenience of bus route into town. The staff were helpful.Reception/Lounge/Meeting area. close to where my course was. TV channels limited, . Our room was too small for anything more than one or two nights.Availability of smoking rooms. tree in the middle of the car park that I reveresed into !. A bit difficult to find in the busy Cambridge streets despite the instructions. It was a cold weekend and the heating in the bedroom was only just adequate; the bathroom was unheated, and very cold.Room was expensive for the size. Telephone enquiry about bus service to the hotel met with incomprehension, the person who answered knew nothîng about Cambridge, this was very unhelpful. Fortunately staff on the spot were friendly, courteous and efficient. It would be nice to have digital TV channels.When I arrived after a long journey at 18.15, the restaurant was taken over by a private wedding party so, unfortunately, only room service was available. The Central heating system in my room "knocked" for 20 minutes during warm up at 6 am waking me up. The food was not very good and did not represent good value for money. on any future stay I would eat out and not in the Hotel. The review made much of the Italian food but in my opinion it was not up to the stanard that the hotel made it to be .Small bedroom but nice and clean. Car park could have had better signs. I stayed in a single room which was a bit on the drab side. There is a partition door which has a mechanism on it that swings the door shut should anyone try and leave it open. Unfortunately this means that when everyone goes down for breakfast they walk through the door which then swings back and bangs loudly. Enough to wake me up. They should sort that out. Room very small, poor bathroom shower. Very hard matress so an uncomfortable night,. Small tiried room.Toilet paper was scarce. The shower was not hot enough. In the restaurant, the steak was over-cooked. Food was poor - we expected pasta in an Italian hotel to be at least as good as we make at home. Breakfast service on the Saturday morning was appalling.Waiting staff at Breakfast. was not the best décor inside room. The temperature of the water in the shower could not be regulated, either it was cold or hot. The sound isolation is terrible, as if the entire hotel was made out of paper. Heating was poor, it was almost cold. Second night of my stay, there was a birthday party in the salon, which was directly below my room. Very loud and bad music, was going on until midnight, despite my request to slow it down. Bathroom the smallest that I have ever had.Dirty table cloth for breakfast.No towels in one of my friends room on arrival. The bedroom was surprisingly small. The inefficient radiator in the bedroom meant it was a cold room and because the tiny shower room had no heating at all, it was uncomfortably cold. Overall, my stay at the hotel was not enjoyable, but, thankfully, it was only for one night. Wouldn't be in a hurry to go back.

The hotel’s restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine and prides itself on using only the finest quality produce and ingredients fresh from Italy. Dishes also feature a wide range of organic herbs and vegetables from the restaurant’s own allotment, as organic produce is extremely important, and essential in some dishes.

The restaurant is popular with local people, as well as with hotel guests. Some of the dishes are legendary within the local community, including the Grigliata di Pesce Misto, an assortment of fresh exotic seafood, handpicked by the restaurant’s chefs.

The full à la carte menu is available from 18:30 until 21:30 and the restaurant is closed on Sundays.

The restaurant has a relaxed and informal atmosphere, with an authentic Mediterranean feel, thanks to the earthy colours, the marble floor and the charming brick archways. The restaurant is fully air conditioned with the latest Dakin air conditioning system.

After you have enjoyed a delicious Italian meal, you can relax in the bar area and enjoy a wide selection of digestifs or an espresso. Alternatively, you could sample one of the house cocktails. Limoncello has proved to be a popular choice to start or finish the evening.

Light snacks are available from room service from 21:00 to 07:00.
