    Conveniently close to the train station, check in/out process was easy, room was spacious, basic accommodation but clean and functional. There were lockers that I used to store my luggage after check out, and that process was also simple and easy.

    Easy to find from the train station. Managed to enter building and find my clean tidy room. Great to have a locker for the following day.

The Orlando is self-checkin. Guests will be sent a pincode up to 48 hours prior to arrival in the 'welcome email', along with my mobile number, should you need any help, or if you have any questions either before or during your stay. I live closeby, and so I am available if you need me during your stay. The Orlando is a newly renovated eight bedroom boutique hotel with 'room only' i.e we do not provide breakfast. Each room at the Orlando has a private ensuite glass walled bathroom, large flatscreen TV, room fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, toiletries, complimentary wifi, and a keyless 24hour entry system. We can not accommodate hen-dos, stag-dos or any large groups coming to Cambridge to celebrate such or similar occasions. We can not take children below the age of 6. Rooms that have sofa beds: the sofa beds are intended for bookings over two people and not as a twin room. The sofab will automatically be set up if you have booked for 3 or 4 guests in one room. A request will need to be made if you wish to use the sofa bed for a two person booking.
The Orlando is managed by Claire Bracher, whose first career was as a professional viola da gamba performer, and for ten years as a professor of the viola da gamba at the Royal College of Music in London. The 'Orlando' Hotel is named after the renaissance composer Orlando Gibbons (1583 to 1625) who studied at King's College Cambridge.
The Orlando is only 3 minutes walk from Cambridge central train station, and a 10 to 15 minute walk to Cambridge city centre and the iconic Cambridge University colleges.
