Lovely (108147941)

positive comments We recieved a very warm welcome, and were given helpful instructions on how to get around, including a map!
negative comments I'm very fussy with meat, and believe the breakfast could've been slightly better quality (use a local butcher instead of the cash and carry guys!)

Alan from Warrington, GB (Group of work colleagues) 21 October 2009

Excellent facilities at a reasonable cost. An added bonus which you seldom get in B and B`s was the communal room were friends could gather to talk. All in all a great experience . I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone. (108742021)

positive comments The standard of the accommodation was excellent extemely clean well furnished and very friendly staff

We really enjoyed our stay, how homely the place was and was also very close to the city centre and amenities. (108513971)

positive comments The room was lovely and staff were vey welcoming and helpful. It was a very homely place and was nice to see there were all kinds of facilities including the internet and also toys for the children to play in. Definately one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in.

Local to cambridge and friendly staff, good selection of breakfast. Great place as a stop over base, as in somewhere to leave luggage and sleep over to visit local sites (108461605)

positive comments The staff Anna and owner Michelle were very nice and helpful
negative comments cold water and shower, they did move me to a larger room but due to personal reasons had difficulties sharing a bathroom with a male guest

Had I been in a different room I think I would have been perfectly satisfied (108697233)

positive comments Clearly a lot of effort had been put into supplying guests with information and facilities to make their stay enjoyable. The B and B was clean. The self check in was a good idea. breakfast was good. Easily walkable to city centre. Good bus routes.
negative comments The single room I was in smelt of damp, this spoilt the stay for me,I am not sure that it was fair to let this room out, although it was cheaper than some other places in cambridge. I believe this was just my part of the building and the rest of the building was probably not damp.

OK, a good standard. Quite expensive, but perhaps because in Cambridge during high season. (107881180)

positive comments Room was clean, well decorated. Most helpful responses from the mother of the owner when I needed to telephone to ask details of possible booking changes. Good breakfast with friendly service.
negative comments Not really 'bad' - the room was just large enough to move around the beds.

Excellent value for money Would stay here again. Reasonable walk into town centre (about 30/40 minutes) (107311612)

positive comments So many thoughtful extra touches. 24 hour check in service very well organised. Key to crockery cupboard in kitchen so you could bring a meal in. Fan provided in bedroom. Small fridge in bedroom. Water macine in kitchen. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
negative comments None come to mind. Perhaps limited parking, but that determined by position and location of hotel.

It was a comfortable stay. Although the parking area was limited, I was fortunate in being able to park my car off-road. The self-check-in system worked well so far as I was concerned. (107864243)

positive comments It was a comfortable B&B and the proprietors were friendly and caring. Iceni House is well kept and the instructions on how to find it were accurate and helpful.
negative comments There were no bad points so far as I was concerned.

Excellent - would use the Iceni again (107388589)

positive comments Everything was really clean and the owners were very helpful with local knowledge etc.
negative comments The only bad point was that we arrived at 1530, on a very cold day, and the heating wasn't on and it took a while to warm up.

A lovely and cosy B&B were we stayed in the Country Garden Room which was situated to the front of the property. It was very clean, quaint and well decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable and staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast room was bright and sunny and with an array of continental and cooked options. We are sure to visit again. (107894236)

positive comments Cosy, warm room & comfortable bed. Though a little way from the City Centre there is frequent bus service to the city centre. Staff very attentive and friendly.
negative comments Bit more soundprrofing required as we could hear guests from above. Overall the breakfast was good but the mushrooms were a bit undercooked.

Very good - would stay there again - and I'm a bit picky with hotels!! (107367978)

positive comments Very friendly staff, good food. They had a self-check in facility if you arrived after 1pm which could have been handy if we were running late.
negative comments Our room could have done with a lick of paint but it was clean and tidy.

Considering crowded, very heavy traffic in Cambridge, this was an excellent all around choice that we enjoyed very much. Would not concider anything else for a future stay in Cambridge. (107232982)

positive comments Best Shower of our two week trip, Good breakfasts, very clean. Comfortable beds,Gracious hosts.
negative comments Had to check in too early, requiring going there before going to museums at Duxford, in order to avoid 3.5% surcharge on a Credit Card registration. Parking crowded for handicapped senior and son.

The Iceni is a functional and decent place to stay, but for weekend break treats, it doesn't add anything to the indulgence. (108046962)

positive comments Comfortable bed and breakfast was good. WiFi worked well. All staff encountered were friendly.
negative comments I got the impression it was less of a walk in to the town centre than it actually was (45 mins). I also got the impression that it was more of a traditional hotel, rather than a relatively modern estate type residence that had been converted.

Debora from Purley, GB (Young couple) 26 August 2008

The place was lovely, the self check-in was excellent and it was a nice distance from Cambridge. Breakfast was very good and the whole B & B was very proffesional and still friendly. (107105491)

Ok but could be stressful if you were trying to get in there late at night (97394959)

positive comments Clean room. Comforatable bed. Good breakfast.
negative comments Difficult to get in and out of hotel due to very stiff door and poor lock. Extremely small room with no where to put full length clothes, toiletries or suitcases. Tiny sink so it was impossible to wash my hair.

The staff are very warm,friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was good. (97741422)

negative comments The level of sound insulation was very poor and the sounds of people walking round in the room above was disturbing as the floors creaked every time it was stepped on. The actual room was very cramped

I was not involved by the booking website of the check in procedure, needing to have a code to unlock a door to receive you keys to get into the bed and breakfast. This caused major issues. (97091426)

The house was very cosy. The rooms were just what we expected (not too large, yet not too small). Everything in our room was fully functioning. Staff members were extremely helpful, especially in providing us with directions to the City Center. The only criticism I could provide is that the bed was too springy and made a lot of noise if you moved - slightly disruptive, but nothing unbearable. We very much enjoyed our stay there and would go back. Breakfast was wonderful! (97522517)
