I did speak to the General Manager about my concerns so I have tried to play fair. I should say that I grew up in Cambridge so know the City well and the central location of the Lensfield was not a key factor for me. At the hotel the service was impeccable, charming and helpful. The foyer and bar are... More

I have seen "quirky" used, i would agree. i stayed recently, unable to get into a more standard property at last minute. the room was ultra clean and new. little details (luggage rack, a manner of keeping a very annoying fire door temporarily open to allow one an easy way to carry a suitcase in) are not present. the person...

When I first checked in I was so nervous. I love good hotels in fact a bit of a hotel snob, but this wee gem is crackin. Very close to the Main Street and very helpful staff. The breakfast was excellent and the bar is cosy. The bed was comfortable but the room was small. No matter, not much noise... More

The Lensfield is a reasonably priced hotel in an excellent location, close to railway station, Fitzwilliam Museum, the river, colleges and shopping. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was good with nice little touches like slippers provided and a chocolate on the pillow. Recommended.

This is a typical city-hotell, with s super location to all Cambridge attractions. I dont think this hotell will be suitable for people depending on a wheelchair. Nice breakfast buffet presented by service-minded staff. You can choose from the pre-made hot dishes or you can ask for eggs as you want it form the kitchen. A bit disappointed about that... More

I feel compelled to write to you following our stay at the Lensfield on the Weekend (not something I fell very often) Firstly, I though your hotel and facilities were fine, everything I would expect to be in the room – was (my regards to your cleaning staff, clearly doing a very good job!), and your location was great.

I picked this hotel because it was the only one I could find close to the centre with parking (although limited) We were lucky enough to find a space when we arrived, and the staff were happy to let us stay parked there after we checked out. The hotel has just extended into the terrace of houses alongside, and this... More

I recently stayed here whilst in Cambridge on business. This is a nice, quiet, family run hotel, situated close to the station and University. This hotel is situated in an old building, comprising several houses, so the interior is somewhat unusual, with narrow passageways and staircases to different levels. The rooms are quite small, but well equipped, although I found... More

I have stayed at numerous hotels and B&Bs in Cambridge that are either expensive, or not very clean, sometimes both. The Lensfield Hotel was very clean, quiet, the staff cheery and helpful, the breakfast is reasonably diverse and plentiful. There is free WiFi internet. I booked a single room online at £72 per night. The room was just big enough... More

I just returned from a 4-night stay and The Lensfield far exceeded my expectations. It was charming, quaint, and spanking clean. As I was traveling alone to visit my daughter, I booked their "budget" single room. I expected the room to be small but it was perfect, cozy and warm, and included everything one could need from TV, radio, ipod... More
