Cambridge appears to have an accommodation shortage with the result that there are quite a few overpriced average/ sub-average (or even dingy) hotels and B&Bs there. We left it late to book, having decided on a whim to go to a concert in the Cambridge Junction. This place seemed like a good base: 5 minutes' walk to the train station,... More

Yes, I would stay there again. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Good location, safe area, good wifi, good breakfast. There are a few places along the same strip, all close to the station, so its a good bet to head here to try your luck for a room if you have not made prior arrangements and have just lobbed... More

On the 2nd day, went back to B&B at about 5 pm and again the heater was not working. So after my dinner, went over to... More

The website states "Competitive rates with full English breakfast included." This is NOT TRUE. I rented a small single room in this B&B for £50 per night and a Full English was not included. Instead the Landlady said I could have a "continental breakfast" which transpired to be a box of Cornflakes. The Full English was going to cost extra.... More

My son had an interview at Trinity College in Dec 2012. We checked the listing of places to stay on the Cambridge website and chose Tenison Towers because of the Lonely Planet review. I must say that we were very pleased with our choice. The place is quaint but modern, bright and clean inside with new modern ensuite bathrooms. We... More

My family was here for some days and we had great time here. The rooms we had were nice and clean with comfortable beds and with en-suite bathroom. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The BandB is in a great location, very close to the railway station and in about 15 min walking, you are in the city centre... More

I paid £ 70 to use a double room as a single. Not a cheap price considering what I got. The room was supposed to have en-suite bathroom, but unfortunately this wasn't true: to get to the bathroom I had leave my room and walk through a shared corridor. Not even a key to lock my room's door. The flush... More
