Guest house Lantern House

174, Chesterton Road, Cambridge, CB4 1DA, United Kingdom –

Both 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.

Annalisa, Italy

Personal 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.

Timo, Germany

Location & nearness to a breakfast cafe called Stir

Lawrence, United Kingdom

I'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

The accommodation was basic but clean and tidy. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful. A good location within easy walking distance of the town centre. Parking at the premises was convenient. No frills but more than adequate.

Just 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 and there is a common room, with a microwave, and seating with a TV. Tea/coffee making facilities are available on request.

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. Regular buses are available nearby for those who prefer not to walk.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.0 for a two-person trip.

We speak your language!

Lantern House has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 17 Sept 2009.
