Be aware that people arriving late at night will wake you up. Night porter needs to remind people to be quiet, instead at 12am several people talking at full volume including the night porter :-( Breakfast average. Bacon could be used to build houses with. Overall not bad, it's clean and service was good.
It's the most recent college in Cambridge, so don't expect ancient architecture or the comfort of a modern hotel. Yet if you are comfortable with a basic accommodation this college offers a modernist style architecture perfectly blended with a beautiful park.
The rooms have been freshly renovated, the view to the park (garden) in the morning is just gorgeous. You have to be aware that this is not a five star hotel but a college dorm used to accommodate conference attendees!

Good student accommodatio let down by minor issues
Good basic student type rooms with good bathrooms and breakfast included, a quite long but pleasant walk through a pretty laneway from the town centre. There was a range of minor annoyances that need to be fixed.
1. There's a minuscule amenities kit provided with a sliver of soap, and a tiny shampoo and shower gel. This probably done in an effort to boost stars from 3 to 4, but the outcome is much much worse than if they'd simply left a proper bar of soap. I was there for five days. On the second cleaning day they removed everything, didn't replace with anything on that or any later day. I had nothing to wash hands with after the toilet. That's just yeuch. Eventually sorted myself out, but it shows a basic lack of understanding that you can't by providing a pretty tiny amenity pack on day 1, and have no soap for days 2 to 5. Same attitude carried over on other matters - disposable wrapped plastic glass was in room on check in (good). It was neither replaced nor washed. So I had only a scummy disposable plastic glass to come home to. Had to use cup to drink.
2. Breakfast is so 1970s. They pile up a mound of carb heavy fatty food on your plate with no thought to health. Must have been six eggs in the egg mound (two heaped serving spoons). Unhealthy and unthoughtful. Only Cafe on site has exactly one hot meal other than sandwiches - Pizza. And it's a mile walk to city. Unhealthy!!!!
3. Need a wall grip for shower. Unsafe
Basic but spacious accomodation.
No TV & parking can be tricky.
Excellent buffet hot & cold breakfast.
15 min walk to city
Staff & service 100% throughout.
Even though this is student accommodation, the room is almost the same as hotel room. The room is brand new and quite big. With two twin beds, there is still enough space for large luggage. There are free bottled water, coffee, tea, kettle, the bathroom amenities. The check in is easy. The only minus side is the check out time is 9 AM, so it's quite early than the normal hotel. If we were to be in Cambridge again, we will definitely stay here again.
Needed a bed for the weekend whilst attending a festival. Just the job, clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff and a great breakfast! What more could you want?
If you need a cheaper option than the usual B&Bs, many universities rent out student rooms during the holidays. This was just what I needed - a no-frills place to sleep over night and nothing else. Breakfast was included anyway so I had a nice English Breakfast. Vegetarian and continental were also available for those that wanted them. Porters were polite and helpful. Only bad thing was the early check out time of 9.30; other than a good place to stay if you are on a budget or only need a place to sleep for a few hours.
Very clean and comfortable room. Staff were incredibly helpful. Breakfast was good -- just wished they served until 10. It stopped at 9:00 a.m. and that is a little early to get up when one is on vacation. But overall, great accommodations and would definitely stay again.
Very handy for the CMS where I attended a conference. Good quality student hall accommodation and an excellent fry up in the morning. Got exactly what was promised.
24 hour ooncierge, great breakfast included, very clean and functional room.
Quite far away (by foot) from the center, but good public transportation and the walk through the campus is very nice anyway...
I mainly chose this place because it's location was near to where I was working, but was pleasantly surprised how good the room was. In particular, the bed was more comfortable than in many Cambridge colleges. Also, good breakfast.
Comfortable, great breakfast and friendly staff. Close to the law Faculty and a short, scenic walk into the centre of Cambridge. Tea and coffee facilities too.
