The Waterman

Cambridge is an expensive town. That said, the price of the room did not reflect the amenities or the size of the room. Basically, the bathroom was so small as to be useless, and the bedroom very poorly lit and felt cluttered. The hotel is on top of a very cozy pub near Jesus Green, and within a comfortable walk to city centre. The room was clean and relatively quiet (the pub/hotel are located at a big intersection with frequent traffic). It would be ideal if the room price was closer to 100£, rather than 200£…

We booked the double room. It was VERY SMALL!! Couldn’t swing a cat in it (no place to put luggage for example). Towel rail permanently on and so close to the toilet, it burned your leg if you weren’t very careful how you sat. Paint chipped and peeling. Needs updating. Staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was good.

The whole experience was mediocre. The staff “alright” no real complaint but the impression you get is that the place is badly maintained The staircase leading to the rooms needs repainting, there are chops of paint missing all over the place. The carpet looks good ld and frankly dirty. The rooms are ok but the handle of the toilet flush in room 7 is hanging. Ok so the price was ok but even so, the overall feeling is of mediocrity. Note. The staff was courteous so no real issue there, but the whole place just looks and feels tired. Outer window didn’t shut either

Clean room staff were great breakfast on our first morning was amazing unfortunately our 2nd morning change of chef breakfast was very late and cold, although I did complain to the manager who just said sorry!

While the room was a bit worn, the atmosphere was great, the helpful, and the location ideal.

It did what it said on the tin! Clean, welcoming, very comfy bed, bottle of water, proper milk and perfect location for us. Glad I took earplugs as a tad noisy outside (t’was the WE though). Ate dinner there too, which suited us to a T.

We received a warm welcome, the other staff we met were friendly, the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet & breakfasts were wonderful.

No toilet roll and the bathroom/toilet smelt really badly or urine. Rooms looking very tired and in need of renovating. Got charged £1.50 for an egg on my sandwich.... Midweek stay for a £100, never again...

The kitchen was unable to offer several items from the menu - no avocado, no smoked salmon, no mushrooms. Also, I was not offered any brown toast or marmalade.
