Acorn Guest House

Stayed for 2 nights - it’s an older style property but personally, we couldn’t fault it for cleanliness or for the friendly and helpful welcome from the owner. Bed was really comfortable and the room very quiet. There is a small car park but as all spaces were full, we were advised we could park in the side streets across the road ( A real bonus as it’s often hard to find free parking in Cambridge). They aren’t doing breakfast at the moment but recommended Stir across the road . (It’s so good we visited both mornings but other cafes are available close by too) The guesthouse is an easily doable walk into centre but there is a bus stop just up the road if you need it.

Might be alright if it was the last room available in Cambridge. Not as represented on ***********. The outside is uninspiring and things don't improve any beyond the front door. Our ground floor bedroom was small, the bathroom reeks of damp, and on arrival was soaking wet, dried up with the shower mat which came up filthy. Perhaps it's a good thing that they don't do breakfast as the kitchen looked none too clean (could only see in from outside, so possibly not a fair comment). The only positive is that the owner/manager is friendly and helpful. Definitely over-priced. If we had not already paid (non-refundable) we would not have stayed.

We stayed in room one. The bathroom was dirty and the toilet was filthy. Squirting some toilet cleaner down a toilet does not constitute actually cleaning it. It was full of hairs from previous occupants and I had to clean the seat before using it. The window in our bedroom didn’t close properly and there was no heating on so it was freezing. The only positive is that the beds were comfortable. Definitely not worth the money and would not recommend this ‘hotel’.

Nice clean bed but that’s all floor was not clean very dated room decor two large spiders in the room a very bad smell from the bathroom mould on the tiles, door frame and shower, friendly staff but advertising parking but only three spaces and it looks like only the owners cars were there but parking on the lane and on a side street I would stay again with my work mates and definitely not the wife

We had a wonderful stay at Acorn Guest House. Greeted upon arrival and given the room for the time we had requested. The room was clean, spacious and cosy for the 3 nights we stayed in the city. The bed was extremely comfortable and far better than other 5 star hotels I had stayed in! The room was cleaned and the bed was made every day and the bathroom was in a good condition. We were given towels and a hairdryer. The owners immediately found me a fan on request and kindly allowed us to store our bags at the hotel when we wanted to go out for the day that we checked out. We felt very welcomed and found it was extremely affordable for our budgets and would love to stay again. It felt very covid safe with handsanizer and wipes straight at the door. Our room was in the main house and on the front. At first I was worried we would hear the road outside but it was perfectly fine and we had some fantastic nights of restful sleep. The hotel is a good 20-30 minute walk into the centre of town along the river or taking the roads. It is a little far our from the station 30-40 mins by foot so we took a taxi on the way back (6 minutes in a cab). We believe this is more of a 4.5 hotel than a 4, with only tiny (and maybe even slightly picky) improvements being bigger bath towels for the shower as they didn’t seem to wrap round us enough, and potentially some more tea choices or light breakfast options like croissants (we loved the small packets of free biscuits with a tea). We really hope we can come and stay again and we look forward to when the breakfasts come back when things are a little safer. A massive thank you to the wonderful family who own this hotel for all your help and a fantastic stay in Cambridge.

Wij hadden twee kamers geboekt voor een vriendinnen weekend. Samen met een vriendin had ik een kamer beneden. Onze andere drie vriendinnen hadden samen een kamer boven. Beide kamers waren niet schoon. Wij hadden schimmel en vlekken in de badkamer. Bedden waren gelukkig wel schoon. Kamer boven heb ik niet gezien maar volgens mijn vriendinnen was die nog erger. De buurt is verder prima. Zit een leuk tentje tegenover om te ontbijten en naar het centrum in het prima lopen.
