I stayed in this hotel for business trip the staff were not really interested from the time I checked in, you have to access your room by using a key code on a door that leads you down a grimy corridor to my room. This room and the one next door was for three people, however the room was small... More

Couldn't check in to 4pm, then led up a dirty rabbit warren of a stairwell, was thinking the whole time "if there's a fire, I have no hope", was sure when I booked was told the rooms were ensuited, not the case, in fact I was to share...

This hotel was booked by family friends coming to visit Cambridge over Bank Holiday weekend. I wish I had intervened to stop them booking this place. First, the room was very overpriced for what it was - small single beds with no ensuite or even a basin - the bathroom was two floors down steep stairs. Second, when we arrived... More

The first floor becomes a night club at night! The whole hotel shakes as I write this review. It's almost 3am and it just doesn't stop! They should warn customers about this! They forgot to give me a towel and I couldnt even take a shower in the shared bathroom. Asking for one? Out of the question, the lobby IS... More

My pa has just returned from Cambridge, where she was visiting her sick mother. She was unfortunate to book this hovel on booking.com. When she arrived, she found out that there was no ensuite. The bathroom wasn't even on the same floor as her room! The room itself was filthy, worn and very noisy. She was refused a refund by... More

On arriving at the B and B the bar area looked fairly nice that was as far as it went! The staff were arguing about wages whilst we waited an hour to check in. We were then taken to our room which did not have an en-suit which the web site does not make clear on its site! the room... More

After now reading the reviews i can say that i agree with the majority of how bad this place is!! Basic dirty room, chipped/cracked mugs and no milk for drinks, stained bedding, no ensuite and dirty shared bathrooms. The most unbelievable thing though was all electricity and heating being off from midnight until 9am the next morning! dangerous from a... More

Felt very misguided and let down by our stay at The Castle B&B. Was firstly surprised to discover that the rooms were not en-suite but instead had use of a shared bathroom which was three flights of stairs down from our room. The biggest surprise of all came about 11pm on our first night when we returned back for the... More

I Stayed mid-week, I arrived at 2pm and was asked to come back at 4pm to check in...Fair enough, I told her my name and went for a wonder. When I entered my room at 4.15pm the room hadn't been cleaned..No word of a lie, there were empty bottles covering all surfaces of the room, the bedding was obviously used... More

My partner and I thought this place looked pretty nice from the outside, so we decided to have dinner after a lovely day out in Cambridge. Sadly our night was ruined by the rudeness, from both staff and suprisingly the manager /owner. Firstly I asked the waiter for some lime with my water. the waiter told me he would get... More
