Lensfield Hotel

Good location, neat and clean rooms, parking available (first come basis). Very close to the college we were going to)

A good location from which to walk into the historic city centre of Cambridge. Very clean and simple room, providing all that I needed. Only downside is no lift and rather tricky narrow stairs. I was a bit surprised on checking out that there were 3 staff in reception who just looked at me struggling down the stairs with my big case and offered no help. That was the only downside.

Had to drag our baggage up a tight staircase due to not having a lift but realise that not all accommodation has this

Great friendly hotel, breakfast and car parking on site,which is a real bonus in Cambridge!

A two night stay after arriving from the States before visiting family in the area. Very easy check in after 28 hours of travel. Comfortable room, no noise inside or outside the hotel to disturb us. Great ‘continental breakfast’ and interesting neighbor to explore with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. We would recommend ‘Olive Grove’ on Regent Street for delicious Greek food. The only negative for us were the steep narrow stairways up to our room. Hard to navigate with suitcases. No elevators.

Very professional, the room was brilliant and clean, comfortable beds. Close to market and local shops. Not alot of parking, 4 bays in total and first come first serve.

Great friendly hotel. Clean, tidy and with parking a real bonus for Cambridge city centre!

Booked a small double which was perfect for overnight stay. Walking distance in to town. We managed to get one of the five free parking bays which was great.

Nice property located a reasonable walk from the city center. Staff helped bring the baggage to the room and very helpful on questions regarding the city. The breakfast provided is very complete non cooked continental type, no option for an English cooked breakfast. Parking on site is only 5 or 6 spots, all others will have to fend for themselves on the street. We were lucky when we arrived, and did not move the car during our stay.

Staff were really helpful, facilities in good condition, free parking was a bonus, location was very good, room very quiet, just mattress was a little thin. Would stay again though

Room had sticky bathroom floor, broken window facing very noisy/busy street. Bathroom sink not clean. Asked for more screamers to be delivered; was told no. Excellent location. Stairs, no elevator.

Great stay. Room very cosy and clean.

I was in a room with two twin beds. One had dead bugs in it when I pulled back the covers. The other had a large hole in the sheet. Overall, the place is old and dingy.

Good location between the train station and the centre of town. Helpful staff. Clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. Good value for money.

This was my third stay at this hotel, I like it because it is comfortable and spotlessly clean, it has everything you need for a short stay and is very good value for money in such a great location, a short walk from the city centre. The staff are also very nice.

Upon my arrival at the hotel, I encountered a disappointing experience at the front desk. The staff member, appeared to communicate in a somewhat dismissive manner. When I inquired about the possibility of checking in early, her response was less than accommodating. After some discussion, she permitted the early check-in, but I was assigned to a room that was not properly serviced; it was unclean and lacked adequate heating, leaving it extremely cold. Despite my efforts to adjust the heating settings, the room remained uncomfortable. When I expressed my concerns, the response I received suggested that I simply use additional blankets, which did not address my discomfort. As a result of this unsatisfactory experience, I made the decision to relocate to a different hotel that prioritizes guest comfort and cleanliness. Furthermore, I encountered difficulties when attempting to cancel my reservation. The Expedia app malfunctioned, preventing me from finalizing the cancellation until after the applicable window had closed. Overall, this experience has been quite disappointing, and I have decided not to return to this hotel or consider any of its affiliated partners in the future. While I wish I could rate my experience lower than one star, that is the minimum rating available.

Welcoming staff. A nice clean room. Exactly what we needed for our stay in Cambridge. Would happily book again...

Excellent staff, great breakfast, spotless daily room cleaning

Good hotel in a nice location. The room was much bigger and nicer than we had expected. Plus there was the added bonus of being able to park at the front at no charge - a great perk for the centre of Cambridge. Easy to walk everywhere. Helpful staff. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner, especially around the bath/shower, but it was OK. The bed itself needs a new mattress but everything else in the room was to a high standard.

The room was clean and tidy and the reception staff couldn’t be more helpful. A very friendly hotel close to the centre of town and less expensive than the likes of PremierInn

A very old building. Victorian era, which means its 100 years old. No elevator so you have to lug your bags up 2 flights of narrow stairs. The desk clerk will only offer to help after they see you struggling. But the worst part was the room. Or in my case, attic. And that's what it was a converted attic. Slanted floor and all. I never got accustomed to walking in it because the slant was so bad. The floor has to drop at least 2 inches from the outer wall to the inner wall.

Quite dated and simple room,but clean. Uncomfortable bed and noisy road outside. I wouldn't stay again.

Room was small but perfectly servicable. Whole building was too hot (corridors and room) but found a plug in fan which was perfect.

We were pleased with most aspects however the bed we found very uncomfortable. The hotel needs to upgrade the mattress.

Very spacious and very comfortable. Exceeded expectations.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. We only stayed for one night. I think I'd look for somewhere else to stay if we were looking or a multiple night break. Unfortunately our room was in the basement directly next to the street so the room felt very dark and claustrophobic as we had to keep the curtains closed to avoid passers by looking in. It was also extremely hot, even with the radiator turned off, so we had to sleep with the window open which made the room very noisy and we felt a little on edge with passers by so close to our room. The bed was also extremely springy which made for an uncomfortable night sleep, and it was on wheels so it moved a lot and made a very loud squeaking noise. The room was nicely decorated, however, overall I expected a bit more for the money we paid.

This hotel doesn't look as though anything has been done to it in decades. Old bed, very old furniture which has been hand painted to "modernise" it, well worn carpet, pokey little bathroom, door that doesn't fit the frame so light stands in from the corridor all night. Dead batteries in the TV remote. On the upside the hotel is close to the city centre and the room has air conditioning.

Overall it is a value hotel clean and comfortable with a good staff. An investment in new mattress's would be a great upgrade. They felt like you're sleeping on a table.

Clean and comfortable. Small room as expected. Well place for walking around Cambridge

Convenient location. Walkable. Air-conditioning was very poor. No elevator

A good location from which to walk into the historic city centre of Cambridge. Very clean and simple room, providing all that I needed. Only downside is no lift and rather tricky narrow stairs. I was a bit surprised on checking out that there were 3 staff in reception who just looked at me struggling down the stairs with my big case and offered no help. That was the only downside.

They hid the truth that the room is in basement . Also the hair dryer is almost broken . The receptions were also lack of interest to smile or say hi with you every time when you were in and out .

Great stay in Cambridge. Central and easy to access. Welcoming staff.

The shower temperature was at best, tepid. Haven't ever experienced this in a hotel with a 3 star AA rated hotel. A big disappointment ! Not a very nice guy on Reception last night; he preferred chatting to someone who wasn't a resident than check me in. Again, disappointing. As a lone female, I won't be back, sadly.

Location is great. Staff are friendly. Room is comfortable. Walls are a little thin.

Very convenient for centeal Cambridge. Friendly and helpful staff. Good continental breakfast. Quiet basic room despite road facing.

Lovely hotel, very helpful staff and clean and comfortable rooms. Right in the heart of everything: highly recommend staying here!

Really welcoming and friendly staff, central location and great value

Picked for the close proximity to Cambridge centre. This was perfect for transport links, sadly no parking but was aware of this beforehand.

Great stay in Cambridge. Central and easy to access. Welcoming staff.

The Lensfield has an excellent location for central Cambridge. It’s an old property but well maintained; bedding is pristine, room warm & comfortable though modest in size. Staff were pleasant & helpful. Good value in a hyper tourist hub.

Friendly staff Good location to the main sights

Really great hotel - excellent location about 10 min walk to city centre

This is a pleasant affordable hotel in Cambridge. Close to the city centre and local attractions. It can be quite loud in rooms due to the busy road outside. There is no air con. The staff are great and super helpful all the time and they really make the stay go well.

I picked it for the location and it was great.

Very well located to most sight seeing and the train station. helpful hosts, would stay again.

Great location only 15 minute walk from station and then 10-15 minutes to the colleges town or museums.

The hotel was in an ideal location for walking into the city centre. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The tr

It's always nice to stay at the Lensfield, though it is probably right at the very top of its price bracket. Very convenient to access central Cambridge. Due to its location, there are a few parking spaces available, but if you want one, try and get there early. Breakfast is only a continental buffet, but there's lots there and its good quality. I've never used the spa facilities though, so can't comment on those.

As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and this continued throughout our stay. The room was lovely, plenty of choice at breakfast. We will happily stay again when next in Cambridge.

Friendly staff - not a lot of choice for breakfast, but beautiful home made sweet and cheese scones.

Unpretentious, basic, but friendly, efficient, and clean. A reasonably priced stay and a good, reasonably priced continental breakfast. Cambridge is devilishly expensive, and the hotel was a welcome exception.

Booked as a Easter break, hotel location was good for city centre, but the hotel bed was like sleeping on a wooden plank, the hot water in the shower was non existent, although we did not bother complaining. We went for the continental breakfast at £12.50 pp and there were out of date yogurts, which we pointed out.

Good hotel, conveniently located half-way between the centre and the train station. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast wasn't a full English but was good quality. I would happily return.

Excellent staff, great breakfast, spotless daily room cleaning

An excellent location for walking around Cambridge. Room was small but that is expected with the age of the building. Otherwise the room was very nice. Breakfast buffet was nice too. I really enjoyed my stay.

Hotel very close to the main sights of Cambridge and room was comfortable. Bathroom- especially shower- was tiny. Other negative was the breakfast. Very little protein - mostly bread products. And lots of packaging: muffins and waffles in individual packages. However, value good for an expensive town.
