9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1001)
"Very friendly but professional staff throughout the hotel, especially at reception. We had 2 rooms, one of which could do with painting the bathroom door and providing it with a door stop (it kept opening wide into the bathroom, blocking the toilet). Room facilities were excellent (fridge, water, coffee machine, biscuits and a box of tissues). Breakfast was amazing, so much choice and delicious food. The hotel is located in the perfect spot for walking to places. "

"Vince came and met us upon arrival, we were very early but parked the car no problem and were given the keys there and then. Really great customer service, the room was fantastic, clean and well presented. Breakfast was great too, a wide choice of food all fresh and cooked to order. Would highly recommend Home From Home, for anyone looking for a really decent B&B in Cambridge. Short 15 to 20 minute stroll across Jesus Green to the city centre. Thanks for a lovely stay."

Christs College Cambridge
3.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (498)
"Christ's College is an old institution with lovely grounds in the centre of Cambridge and it is easy to walk to attractions.The accommodation is in a modern block at the back of the grounds and was built by the architect for the National Theatre .So I was faced with a huge flight of concrete steps and no lift!Luckily I had help with my case from a gardener on my arrival and a cleaner as I left and in between I got quite fit! But I think you should warn prospective guests with limited mobility...
