Hotel is in a time warp from 1990's. Room nice, decor was outdated. Great location to walk into centre of Cambridge along River Cam and parks. Highlight was the two sisters who run the breakfast and house keeping. So friendly, fun and accommodating.

The triple room was spacious and comfortable.
The cold water tap did not work at the sink - but getting water from the bathtub was no big problem.
A very nice cooked breakfast and very nice staff!
Check-in process was confusing. Ashley hotel has a short check-in window; late arrivals have to check in at its parent hotel.
Complimentary breakfast was nice. Breakfast room was so inviting, and the breakfast service staff were a highlight due to their warmth and friendly manner.
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Ashley Hotel. Although externally and to a degree internally it is a little tired and dated, our room was clean, the bed comfy and the shower excellent with plenty of hot water. The full english breakfast was a treat to look forward to and the serving staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Parking within the grounds was plentiful and free and the walk into central Cambridge only took 15 minutes via pleasant parkland paths. All in all a great place to stay if visiting Cambridge.
We were a bit dubious when we first saw the outside but the interior was bright and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of choice for breakfast.
Ideal location for Cambridge city centre - a pleasant 20 minute stroll through the park ( or catch a bus from the front of the hotel).We would definitely stay here again.
The staff were very helpful and very friendly.
The room was a good sized. Very clean.
Breakfast itself..couldn't find fault with.
Thank you Ashley Hotel for a great stay.

The hotel was clean and generally comfortable but it is definitely in need of decoration and refurbishing.
It seemed unusual that there was no staff resident outside of a few hours a day though.
The breakfast was good and the staff who served us were excellent.
The property is older but overall well maintained and clean. It was well heated. Free parking and breakfast included made it good value for money. I had a good sized room - clean with small ensuite bathroom. My room was at the back of the property and fairly quiet . All the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good. Good pub across the road.

Loved the parking. Room was small. Breakfast was fine - nothing special. A little further from central area than I thought. 20 minute walk.
Brilliant location, just a stroll along the river into the city, and over the road from The Portland Arms, convenient for staying after music gigs. Very large airy room (room 1) with powerful hot shower and comfy bed. Lovely hot breakfast and varied cold offetings. Polite waitresses.
