Unfortunately, the only good thing about the Royal Cambridge is some of the staff. They were very friendly and helpful in trying to resolve the number of problems we experienced during our 2 night stay. We stayed at the Royal Cambridge Oct 3-4, 2011. It really is a extremely poor hotel that is dirty, rundown and in need of extensive repair and update. There wee six of us so we had three rooms. Each of us had to change rooms after the first night for various reasons. And the new rooms were barely better than the originals. Both the rooms and the common areas of the property are really quite disgusting. We experienced things such as bad odors, mold throughout the bathrooms and rooms, carpet wore down to the bare floors, water leaks and just in general a dirty and poorly kept hotel. Certainly not worth the 80 pounds a night we paid. I would seriously recommend removing them from your website until they can prove that they have made some improvements. It makes you both look bad.

What didn't I like about the place and why I won't stay there again! One positive factor - the room was quite large. Book in time was 2pm. I arrived a little before 2pm and gave the receptionist a £5 tip but requested she text me when my room was ready, as I was running late for a business meeting and needed the room to drop my bags. No text was forthcoming. At 2.15pm I went back to the hotel to see what was up. Without any acknowledgement, the receptionist handed me the key to my room, obviously forgetting the request I had made and the tip for the courtesy. This one must get tipped quite frequently. Once in the room one notices that the bed is so far away from the minute tv hanging on the wall at the other end of the room you may as well be listening to a radio. But, then you realise, the television is so far away, you can't even pick up the sound on the damn thing either! Let it be known this room has a problem with it's sewerage pipes. I let the receptionist know (the same girl from the day before, so who knows if she actually did anything) that the bathroom absolutely wreaked of an extremely foul sewerage smell that also emanated into the main bedroom, even if you closed the bathroom door and could very easily be a health hazard. It was terribly nauseating. I stayed in room 202, so I do not know whether it was just this room or the entire building with a similar pipe problem. This hotel is far from great and certainly does not live up to it's £99 tariff. I will not be returning.

Good location (5 minutes from Paddington Station) Удобное расположение (5 минут пешком от вокзала и станции метро Паддингтон) There was no warm/hot water in shower! Water was just slightly warm. It was impossible to have a shower normally. Instead of window to the street, I had a window to the corridor. Furniture and other facilities were too old. В душе не было нормальной горячей воды (только слегка теплая). Принять полноценный душ было затруднительно. Вместо окна на улицу было единственное окно, выходящее в коридор отеля. Свежему воздуху неоткуда было поступать (охлаждение от кондиционера не в счет). Мебель и сантехника в номере старые.

Excellent staff and a small refund made up partly for no TV and a radiator permanently on the top setting. The female receptionist couldn't do enough though - moved my room, and generally extremely apologetic. Breakfast very poor.

Great location near Paddington station. Good connections. Breakfast was ok. even whole wheat bread! Quiet and peaceful, no luxury but a nice place to stay. Rooms were a bit cold, especially the bathroom with a window, when the weather was so chilly (in the beginning of April).

We were a little worried after reading some of the comments about the hotel but I must say we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was small but clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast could have been better but again it is London there are 100 places within 5 minutes where you can get breakfast. So a nice inexpensive hotel within walking distance of oxfort streed (5 minutes from the subway) I think some of them who write avoid has a unrealistic idea of what you get at a cheap 3 star hotel in London. If you want a better hotel you have to pay more. If you just want a cheap place to sleep pick this one.

It`s a good hotel for sightseeing. It locates close to metro station Paddington, bus station. The room was big enough with balcony. The breakfast is not varied but it is enough for starting day. The room was cleaned every day but may be not so thoroughly. The staff is very responsive. It is a right hotel for unpretentious travelers because disadvantages can be found all over.

Excellent location for Paddington with great staff and comfortable, clean rooms. Very poor breakfast - full selection was toast (with butter and jam), baked beans, boiled eggs, tinned peaches, 2 types of budget quality cereal and just one sausage one day - and none the next! One day had tinned ham and the next day sliced cheddar cheese. Bearing in mind what a great hotel it otherwise is, this was a great shame.

Not a lot, the bed was clean and that's about the only plus, Staff seemed completely indifferent to the guests with a couldn't care less attitude. The whole place was very noisy, all the doors banged as there were no door closers and it kept us awake all night. Long black hairs on the floor in the shower room. Unwatchable TV picture plus when you walked around the sound went completely, couldn't even fill our kettle in the morning as it wasn't physically possible to get it under a tap. Just a total joke, made Fawty Towers look like heaven, couldn't wait to leave, please avoid!

It needs new stair carpets, sufficient milk in bedrooms so you can have a drink late evening and early morning,ie two milk per person. I ordered a taxi for the departure morning by entering my request on the arrival form but nothing was done until the time arrived for my taxi to arrive and a mirror in bedroom would have been nice.

Staff were friendly and helpful, easy to get to location 2 minutes from Paddington underground, plenty of food options near by. Surprisingly spacious room, good tv and drink making facilities. Also not as noisy as I expected. The breakfast was terrible, there was very limited choice, not really a continental breakfast (one type of cheese and plain bread, beans and boiled egg, 2 plain cereals and peaches. Jam and drinks.) toaster was available if you wanted to wait half an hour for it to toast the bread. Very small and cramped breakfast room. Staff at breakfast did not appear to do anything except fill up milk and juices. Overall the worst breakfast ive had in a b+b style hotel. Also there was no hairdryer in the bedroom. There is no fridge in room or ability to chill/store foods on the premises

Location - that's all that is good about this hotel Desperately in need of refurbishment. Stayed in a so called triple room - not even large enough for a double. Three beds were pushed together with no floor space to get between them. Moved one of the beds - full of rubbish underneath. No mirror in bedroom. One coffee sachet for three people! . Bathroom shabby - in fact most of hotel was. Threadbare carpets. Unwelcome breakfast staff - poor breakfast. No manager present when asked for to complain to. Avoid this hotel if you can.
