Staff was absolutely delightful

Amazing boutique hotel in Cambridge. Greeted inroom with bottled water, cookies and fruit really were appreciated by weary travelers. Hot, fresh complimentary breakfast was wonderful. Extremely limited dining seating availability proved tough with groups of 4+, but all worked out. Definitely will stay again at this eclectic, well-run and maintained hotel.

It’s an easy walk to the river, to the city or to the local universities. The hotel is charming and the breakfast was quite good!

This is a fantastic hotel in a lovely old building. Our room was comfortable and clean, staff acceptable (some great, some ok) and the food wonderful. Alberto at the Black Sheep restaurant/bar was fantastic and the foods available for dinner great. We particularly liked the piri-piri crab roll with a sea of lightly spiced fine cut fries. The breakfasts are so good we stopped eating lunches. My go to breakfast was a burrito I put together with the scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, cheese and salsa. The pancakes, spiced potato’s, waffles, breads, pastries, grapes, mixed fruits, strawberry smoothies were all fantastic…but there were other choices as well. There were a number of good restaurants in the area, including a seafood restaurant next door, a fantanstic pizza place within 10 minutes. Well recommended. Work-space was limited in the room, but the availability of the lobby/bar/restaurant space on the first floor generally made up for this. There isn't anything to complain about.
