No dining on the day of arrival. The following day the breakfast was very poor, no remote for the TV. The double bed was two bases put together with a double mattress on top, if you ended up in the middle you would fall towards the floor, the service wasn't very good, the pictures that are being displayed for the hotel are out 10 Years old. I would advise Expedia to check this out.

Hidden Lodging Gem

Earl of Derby is very well located in Cambridge. Walking distance to town and train station. The rooms are very nice, comfortable, clean and quiet. Great being attached to pub for drinks and food. Hospitality is good and not intrusive. Staff are very helpful!! Just ask.

Good value

The room was good value and nice size. Staff friendly. You check in at the bar. But noisy re bar music till very early hours but we were awake anyway. It was a bit of a trek into the town.

everything was great. As this is a pub on a saturday night a band plays in the pub downstairs. We were fine with that. Very reasonable food prices. Very good selection of shower bottles and coffee and tea with biscuits,jellybeans,and mints. Great value centre of cambridge is 15 min walk along one road.

We had a great stay here at the weekend. We were only there one night as we had a wedding to attend nearby. The staff are brilliant, so helpful and friendly even let us check-in early. Room was perfect. Car parking so easy. Shame we couldn’t have spent longer there. Would definitely use again if in Cambridge.

A lovely stay, the room and linen smelt fresh and clean. Thanks for the toiletries and treats with the tea/coffee/hot choc. Having a fan in the room was fabulous as we needed to keep the windows closed to limit the traffic noise. Friendly staff and very accommodating with parking allowance on our check-out day. Thank you, we will return. 👍

A bit disappointed with the service, i booked this hotel for 2 nights for 3 people, after booking i phoned the property and requested 3 single beds, the woman i spoke to said we will have a room with 3 singles beds, when the lads got there the room had a double and a single, not happy
