174, Chesterton Road, Cambridge, CB4 1DA, United Kingdom – Good location - show map
I liked the high quality of the wi-fi, and the provided toaster and microwave were helpful in preparing simple meals.
United KingdomLocated close to the city centre, the room had a tv and as was raining the night he spend there it was nice to stay inside.
United KingdomIt’s a budget hotel so we got what we paid for. Sean the manager was very friendly and helpful
United KingdomLovely staff, went out of their way to make our stay comfortable
United KingdomIt nice and tidy place and the one time I saw the owner/landlord he was real nice so I would definitely stay there again when in Cambridge
United KingdomSelf service check in and check out. Free bread and butter. Close to the river Cam
GermanyConsidering prices in Cambridge, even in modest accommodations, The Lantern House offers an affordable and comfortable stay. The walk to downtown was indeed 20 minutes but a pleasant one. The place is run by kind and interesting people and the overall feeling is cosy and homy!
NetherlandsBoth main entrance door and room’s door have keyless door lock system, so useful especially if you are checking-in while nobody from the staff is on site at that time. In that case they’ll send you the codes. Landlord makes sure that everything is to your liking and is always ready to listen to your requests. Friendly and helpful. Don't understand what people complain about, would like to point out that they can’t have their cake and eat it too. Great value for money.
ItalyPersonal greeting from the manager who showed us around the guest house and were to get grocieres and drinks nearby. He made us feel at home at the guest house.
GermanyI've been traveling Europe off and on for 4 years, Sean is the best, most interesting, and personable manager met. Not only is Sean extremely helpful, he is honest and accurate. I'd hire him immediately. Cleaning lady was extremely nice and efficient too. Snacks, nice shower, etc., The Old Spring and The Viking were excellent and close by too. Dr. SSS
United StatesJust a 10-minute riverside walk from the heart of Cambridge's city centre, this charming guest house offers free WiFi, free parking subject to availability and comfortable accommodation at great-value rates.
Lantern House has a convenient location, just a few hundred metres from the River Cam and about a mile (1 miles) from the city centre. The Grafton Shopping Centre is just a 10-minute walk away.
The hotel offers a range of accommodation. En suite bathrooms and rooms with shared bathrooms are both available. All rooms have TVs.
While the Lantern does not serve any meals including breakfast, a range of restaurants are found half a kilometre away. Many of Cambridge's famous colleges are just a short walk away and the heart of the city can be easily reached on foot, by crossing one of the beautiful greens.
