The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the train station and easy to find. Check-in is convenient and quick, and the host is very quick to receive. The room was large, on the second floor, bright and spacious. There are three single beds of 0.8m, a small round dining table, two chairs, a writing desk and a wardrobe. The bathroom has a bathtub shower, a washbasin and a toilet. Towels and toiletries are provided. Slippers are not provided. There is a TV and tea kettle, no microwave or air conditioning. Complimentary tea, coffee, instant chocolate, cookies and other snacks for each guest in the room. Overall, I feel very satisfied.
Communal microwave ovens are recommended.

I stayed over for one night on business. I booked a normal double room. The room was a nice size, pleasant, bright and airy. It was clean and had clean bedding, towels and some toiletries also provided. There was good sized desk with tea, coffee and other drinks. The bed was a good size and comfy with variety of pillows. Fan was also provided as it was a hot day which kept the room cool. Bathroom was clean and well appointed. The pub itself (below) was not noisy at all. I have stayed in many other places in Cambridge that charge a similar rate and compared to these the room was much nicer. I would definitely stay here again.
TV was wonky on the wall, on closer inspection the bracket was broken. The pub is on a busy road. My room was at the front and there was traffic noise from around 6am but I expected this and it cannot be helped.

This is perfect if you want somewhere to stay for a few days in Cambridge. The Earl of Derby is a short walk from Cambridge Railway Station and close to bus stops for almost everywhere in the city and nearby. The city centre is about a 15-20 minute walk. There is guaranteed free parking outside the pub. The room was fine and very clean. As it is near a busy junction there is quite a bit of traffic noise, but not so much at night. The pub serves excellent breakfasts with as much coffee and tea as you can drink. The staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Nothing.

Amazing pub & absolutely lovely staff who could not have been more friendly, chatty, helpful & welcoming. Good food & drinks menu too. Location is spot on. Lovely additions - Tea/coffee/biscuits/sweets. Showers were great! When we come back to UK/Cambridge, we'll prob be staying here again.
Unfortunately we had the rooms with windows looking out to Hills Road which is pretty noisy in the mornings. Think they have more accommodation at the back in the car park area which would have had less traffic noise.

The location, very central. The nice bar to have a drink and feed, and not have to worry about drink driving. Full English Brekky was huge, reasonably priced at £7.50. Brekky is open to General Public from 7.30.
Not being told about fire alarm testing on the morning of my departure. Every room has to be tested. It goes on for over half an hour. I had to hurriedly pack my bags to get out of the piercing sound. So make sure you know when the testing is on when staying here.

Great location being very close to the station and not too far to walk into Cambridge. Room was good with everything you would expect in a hotel room. Nice clean sheets/ bathroom etc. Having the pub immediately next-door was great for food and convenience.
Room was ok - but showing signs of being 'tired' with slight musty smell to carpet and sealant coming off in bathroom - but nothing serious. Room was on ground floor so slightly noisy when people were leaving the pub and hot at night as uncomfortable leaving the window open, but again not a big problem.

Location was excellent, within a few minutes walk of the train station and next to multiple restaurants. Though, the hotel also being attachd to a pub makes it even easier to get good quality food quickly and for a decent price.
We requested a room with two single-beds, but were supplied with a twin-bedroom room. Fortunately, the twin-bed was actually two single beds placed together, so were easily separable manually.
