Concert Stay.

On the positive side, great location: about 1min from the park and ride bus stop, about 5 mins walk from the Corn Exchange venue. Super friendly and helpful staff. In the negative side: ultra basic accommodation and very noisy from the bar downstairs, until the early hours.

You're above a pub, but right in the city centre, for real cheap. It's highly convenient, clean bathrooms and bedding, but be warned, it's above a pub. Its a bit noisy until late, but that's expected. Can't complain really. We left some headphones and keys behind but they were very kind to ship them back for us! Would recommend if you're in for a couple of nights and just need a bed. Gud price

Improve access to attendants!

We were unable to get ahold of the hotel attendant to check in, perhaps a USA phone problem. Perhaps informing connecting via WhatsApp. The construction was loud. There was no sheet on the beds and the pillows were small. The communal bathroom worked out just fine though.

This is a very very basic hotel. Quite literally a place to rest your head in central Cambridge. At £100 per night it is not cheap. The sheets of my bed were not clean and the curtains did not cover enough of the window to block out the sunlight. That being said, the room itself was not horrendous and the shared bathroom was not revolting. Overall I think it was expensive for what you get but not the worst travelling experience of my life.

Clean and tidy. It was as shown on description: upstairs with 2 twin beds and a full size bed. The bathroom was shared and clean. The location was amazing -- thumbs up --and it made it easier to go and get around Cambridge. Being in City Center becomes noisy in the evening. This was a short and brief stay on our way to mainland Europe to catch an early flight out of London. I would stay again. Thanks for lettings us unload our luggage prior to check-in time.

Read other reviews. I do not regret staying here, but I wouldn't recommend it either. It is a bare bones room. We stayed 3 days and I liked it better over time. Good location. Easy keypad access to the building and you don't have to go through the bar to get to your room. We came in Saturday afternoon and checked in at a bar filled with drunken college students. The family with small child waiting before us looked very unhappy to be there. You go upstairs through a labyrinth of fire doors - seriously I've never seen anything like it. The rugs are very worn and stained. I was worried we wouldn't find our way out or back in. Our room had a nice bright duvet, broad windows, and nothing but a bed, small table with tv, and some kind of blocky thing I am not sure what it was. No chair. Rugs were stained - I looked for bugs. But the place was quite meticulously clean and freshly painted, as were the halls. We were on the top floor so there was noise outside and downstairs, but not particularly in our room. The bathroom was a floor down, spotlessly clean, and we literally never saw anyone else there except the person cleaning. The owner was helpful. It's a crash pad. I've stayed in worse. And many many better.

Give it a miss

As all the other reviews, this is just a room over a bar, shared bathrooms and no breakfast. I was aware of this (and that it’s way overpriced), but there’s also no one around in the bar in the morning in case anything goes wrong. I forgot to take my room key to the bathroom with me, and was locked out my room from 4am to midday, which was when someone appeared in the bar downstairs. I was then informed I had missed the checkout time. Really wished I had booked somewhere else.

Terrible!

This is not as advertised at all, you literally get just a room with a tv in it. No amenities at all. The room was dirty, smelled like urine, one window was broken, the door didnt lock, one of the beds was broken. And the bathroom was a floor down, which wasn't very clean either. We did not end up staying as felt unsafe!

Wir waren zu dritt zu einem Konzert angereist, das in unmittelbarer Nähe stattfand. Man befindet sich mitten im Zentrum. Bahnhof zu Fuß = 20 Min. Als ich mich fragte, ob es im Hotel Handtücher gäbe (ja!), stieß ich im Netz auf Beurteilungen, die "ungenügend" waren, also eine glatte sechs. Kritik: Kein Frühstück und viel zu laut. Ja, es gab auch für uns kein Frühstück, was wir aber ohnehin dort nicht eingeplant hatten. Es gibt unzählige Cafés (u.a. auch Starbucks) in der Nachbarschaft, allesamt zu Fuß gut zu erreichen. Auch ein Supermarkt gegenüber hat genügend frische Backwaren. Zur Lautstärke ist es so, dass das wirklich ein Punkt sein kann. Wer empfindlich ist, der sollte hier nicht nächtigen. Zum einen ist es am Wochenende aufgrund der Musik in der Bar im Erdgeschoss bis spät in die Nacht laut, zum anderen ist es auf der Straße laut, insbesondere, wenn man bei offenenem Fenster schläft. Die zwei Toiletten befinden sich im Flur, sind sauber und werden täglich gereinigt. Im oberen Geschoss befindet sich die Dusche intergriert in einer Badewanne, im unteren Geschoss ist es eine normale Dusche. Handseife steht zur Verfügung, genauso wie ein Duftspray. Für den Zugang zu seinem Zimmer bekommt man einen Schlüssel, für das Hotel einen Zugangscode. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Es gab weder Kleiderbügel noch irgendwelche Haken im Zimmer. Wir waren dennoch voll zufrieden und würden wieder ins The Castle gehen. Famillien und empfindliche Menschen sollten etwas anderes auswählen.

The location is excellent. The room is clean and staff are helpful. However, avoid booking on Fridays and Saturdays if you want to sleep at night. The bar plays very loud music 'til 3am and it's impossible to sleep.

I’ve never felt so unsafe staying away with work. After a warm enough welcome, things went downhill! Two women staying on one floor without a working shower, expected to use the one the owner used and another guest on another floor. One of the room locks didn’t work properly and looked as though it had been tampered with! Left me feeling extremely vulnerable. Window wouldn’t close so extremely noisy night! Room was in poor repair and there wasn't even any tea making facilities or even a glass in the room. For the price paid, it was a disgrace. Would recommend you avoid this place!
