We ate here today NEVER AGAIN. got this through a groupon voucher. Living near Cambridge has passed this many times- always looks good inside. Voucher for lunch- told thirty minutes wait. (not a problem did look over half full). After 45 mins asked how much longer- we are nearly ready. Goodness know what they were doing in the kitchen as... More

My partner and I stopped for a quick sandwich en route from station into town. Busy and food looked great. There was one waitress serving to begin with and she was great, despite having been left alone. Waited one hour for two sandwiches. Walked out. The second waitress was absolutely awful. Unprofessional, rude and slow. If the kitchen is having... More

I was treated to a weekend in Cambridge and we stayed at The Castle. We waited while the barstaff sorted out our key and asked for payment. This was done before we saw the room and I understand why. The room was on the top floor and we had to navigate our way through a maze of doors which all... More

Treated my best friend to a weekend in Cambridge and stayed at The Castle. What a mistake. Could only get into the room after 4pm, was taken through a warren of corridors and stairs to our room which was on the top floor only to find that we had no bathroom. We took one look at the washroom nearest to... More

The only positive thing I can say about The Castle B&B is that it's in beautiful Cambridge. Apart from that I would definitely not recommend it. Only one member of staff showed a glimmer of politeness during my 2 night stay, others were downright unfriendly. The rooms were located above a pub, there was no lift and with large bags,... More

Defenitely the worse place I have been in a long time. It is not a proper B&B. There is no reception and you have to pay at a bar before getting the keys. The receit is for a meal rather than a room. You have to find your way to a complicate route mainly composed by sets of stairs. There... More

Small twin room with not even a washbasin, up several flights of dingy stairs above a bar. Bathroom with toilet down 1 floor from my room, shower with toilet down 2 floors. Lack of en-suite not mentioned when booking. I stayed midweek and guess that on Fridays & weekends it would be very noisy, as the bar has pretensions to... More

we arrived and like many of the reviews told they were busy and could not check in until after 4pm. The place was a maze we were up many flights of stairs that were old and smelt. Our room had no sink and had to share a bathroom, which looked liked it hadn't been cleaned in a week at least... More

We stayed here 5 nights a week apart and we knew what we were getting so no complaints. It has great potential and can be managed better but a great location and having a restaurant below also has its upsides and downsides. A location in the heart of of Cambridge University and breakfast served with a 5 star class really... More
