The friendliness and efficiency of the staff. The shower room was very narrow - but the shower itself was good, and this was only a minor disadvantage.

Staff friendly, helpful and responsive to requests. Room clean and neat. 1. I wanted somewhere as central to Cambridge as possible with car park space. The comment about location on the website was misleading --- the hotel was a long way out of central Cambridge. 2. I was in an attic room with the basin tucked under a sloping roof. There was no light over the basin so it was difficult to see oneself shave!!!

Easy check-in and check-out. Close to the centre. The breakfast only served bt 8.00-8.30. If you have to leave early or get up late, no food....

The room we had was on was on the ground floor, so we did not need to carry lots of things for our small child upstairs. Our room was near the small car park. The bathroom was small, but we were prepared for that, having checked reviews.

Good value. Convenient location. Excellent breakfast. Biscuits available in bedroom were loose in tin. Individual packets preferred because of freshness and hygiene. Bathroom a little musty but adequate.

The shower tap was very imprecise I scalded my chest. I reccomend they fit anti scald taps for the showers. Everything else was fine as above

Perfect for our visit, which was for a swimming meet for our 14 yr old, therefore needed good night's sleep and an early breakfast. Family room ideal for us. Excellent service at breakfast, which was very good, and charming owner who was very helpful generally.

expectations were met .. room was cosy & clean .. bed comfy.. is within walking distance from trinity st. and staff were friendly... price ok for location .. the only downside .. was the shower head needed to be descaled, as the water flow was too low.

Staff was reasonably attentive. Location is at about 20 minutes away on foot from major colleges and high street. Small carpark. We got room number 4 in the annex building which was fairly small: it could fit a bed (miniqueen size?) and a small wardrobe and little else. Bathroom also was tiny. Nevertheless this could have been ok for a night sleep without really unpacking our luggage. As a matter of fact, we had asked for a quiet room and the room was actually quiet in terms of traffic as promised, but we have been entertained for the whole night by some continuous noise (heating pipes?) so we could not sleep the whole night.

Cleanliness and comfort value for money. I would prefer this compared to Travel Lodge kind of budget hotels.

Good welcome from proprietor; excellent breakfast served by attentive staff. Found the room a bit overheated, and there was no control on the radiator,. However it was not a great problem, and we perhaps tend to have rooms at home cooler than most people!

The staff were welcoming, the room comfortable and good value. Access to the hotel car park is from Sandy Lane (we did not realise this from the website). The car park has spaces for four cars. We preferred to park on Sandy Lane itself.

Warm welcome. The beds were comfortable and the bed linen crisp, breakfast was great. Slightly disappointed with the family room as it was very small for 3 adults. Thankfully we are not on the large side otherwise we would not have been able to fit in the shower or on the loo! I kid you not! And the room itself could have done with a paint and the curtains were falling down.

Acorn Guest house , does what it says on the tin. Good location, comfortable room, pleasant staff, at a reasonable price. The shower in room 9 needs some attention
