The staff we met were very friendly and helpful. They did all we asked, even let us check-in early and leave a little later than official time. Overall a good basic place to stay near to the centre and all attractions. Cheaper than others in this location because no breakfast. That was not a problem as there were places to... More

I did not find Lantern House a welcoming place to stay. It was clean, but shabby-looking, and the owner was rather off-hand. The overall impression was that he couldn't really be bothered. My little attic room was quite nice, but lit by a skylight that could only be operated by standing on the bed. The digital clock hadn't been set,... More

First of all, thank you for your review. Of course after 4 months or more things get remembered in different ways- as far as we recall you came to have breakfast quite late, about 09.30 AM after our breakfast service had finished (it was from 07.30-09.00. AM) while we were just going out to take our young daughter to nursery.... More

Stayed with my girlfriend. Very good location. Very good deal for Cambridge price. Room clean but simple. No breakfast but very cheap. Suit my need.

After read some bad reviews on Trip advisor I expected something not very good. Surprisingly, I had pleasant stay. And I like that they didn’t charge for Credit Card payment, this is new for me as many places I stayed before in Cambridge they do charge 5% on top of the room price. The location is quite central, not too... More

Have stayed here many times travelling on business. Its good, basic and friendly accommodation. Cheap for this location, did call me a taxi for free and could leave my bags there all day. Internet was free, essential for me. Helpful staff.

This was a good Bed and Breakfast- really good value compared to others in this near central location. They also did not charge the usual 5% surcharge for credit cards like all the other places, so saved us a bit. They were really nice and friendly staff, the man was very willing to answer all our questions and willing to... More

The b&b had mixed reviews so we wern't expexcting the Ritz but what we did encounter was a dirty bathroom and rude staff. At breakfast someone took our order and when I asked if it was possible to have poached egg, I was told yes. Two seconds later the owner came over and told us we could only have fried... More

Thank you for your very great determination to put this long bad and UNTRUE comment again in Tripadvisor (once in our guestbook on leaving). We are glad that you did so we can explain WHY, and we feel we have to reply to this review. It’s very hard to understand why you were so angry when we were very polite... More

The B+B is situated on the edge of Cambridge and isn't very good. Its certainly not a hotel and the rooms are basic to say the least and smell of damp with frugal fittings. Its poor value for money and the owner even trys to charge for calling taxis...whatever happened to customer service. I can't recommend this place as there... More

I am in a rather strange position here; having to correct the factual inaccuracies of this review and feeling I have to apologise on behalf of this reviewer for these mistakes. Firstly we are definitely not on the ‘edge of Cambridge’. We are quite central, within short walking distance of the river, Grafton centre, shops, pubs and main attractions, as... More

I spent 3 weeks at the Lantern House. It's very tidy and clean. Breakfast is huge and additional items to choose can change frequently. Virgin TV and wireless in the room. Aki and Mena are very kind, every time ready for a conversation, and really helpful whenever you need any advice about the city. Definitely, I recommend this B&B!
