The Hobson Cambridge By Adina
The room I had on the second floor is in the eaves, so I had to be bent over to walk around the bed. As a result, I injured my back. In addition, the room was incredibly overheated, but I couldn’t close the open window because the toilet smelled absolutely horrible. I will not be staying here ...

Premier Inn Cambridge City Centre - Corn Exchange/Lion Yard
Cleaning the room is only done if you explicitly ask for it at the reception each and every day! And you have to ask them for fresh towels. The bedlinen was never changed during our stay. This is rather cheapskate for a £ 147 per night hotel.
