Christs College Cambridge

3.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (553)
"Very convenient location to visit Cambridge. Small room with basic furniture but clean. Breakfast offered several options and staff was very kind. My room was in a concrete block so I missed the atmosphere of living in one of the historical buildings. However, the room was facing one of the inner courtyards and was silent at night. Ensuite bathroom was really very very tiny. Overall, a pleasant experience - well recommended."

10/10 Excellent
"My wife went into Addenbrooks for brain surgery and wanted me to be nearby. Although this wasn’t the cheapest hotel it was in fairly easy walking distance to the hospital. When I got there the receptionist asked what my stay was for and I told her she waved the parking fee and also told me that they do a special rate for people staying and going to the hospital. My room was very comfortable and the air conditioning came in very handy as it was so hot that week. The free breakfast was amazing and plentiful. I really enjoyed my stay although the circumstances could have been different. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you again. "
