Cambridge Hotel

Poor
Traveller Type: group
  : Nothing
  : The reason why there are no rooms available is, as the owner of the hotel explained, that there are 94 rooms and 91 of these rooms are occupied by the homeless/asylum seekers/refugees leaving you with only 3 rooms available! This was the hotel I would normally book to attend Huddersfield Carnival due to the location. The last time I stayed at this hotel was pre-COVID. I was shocked that the hotel in general had changed for the worse. The owner even had the nerve to tell me that the price I paid for a room for two nights with two guests was expensive! The homeless/asylum seekers/refugees are not allowed in the restaurant due to overcrowding so they have their breakfast delivered to their rooms. Prior to COVID the restaurant would be buzzing with paying guests but it was only myself and my friend!With regards to the breakfast even though there is a choice of Continental or English breakfast the quality of the breakfast has totally gone downhill. The bacon and sausages were not bacon or sausages, it was in all honesty, I haven’t got a clue, but the quality of the breakfast was appalling and cheap. A relative of mine came to visit me. I met her in the reception area and asked if it was OK for her to come to our room. The staff initially said it was OK but only for 5mins. Within minutes one of the staff members knocked on our door and spoke to me outside the room. He said it was the hotel policy that visitors are not allowed in the rooms as they can pose a risk such as a terrorist! I was horrified. The bedroom was well equipped but just very hot even with the window opened at its widest. Prior to COVID whenever I booked the rooms would come with two double beds. This time it was a single and double bed and the single bed looked like a children’s bed. The bathroom needs a good scrub as there were several black molds on the walls and surfaces. In all, I do not think I will be staying at this hotel again.

Very Good
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Very close to the station, which was important for me. Very very clean, bedroom was very nice. Rooms and corridors were spotless. Good use of lighting when you walk along corridors.
  : Breakfast was disappointing. Sausages had no flavour. Bacon was preformed, not proper bacon. Baked beans were poor quality and very runny
