Our room was clean and spacious. The lighting in the room was not great. One day, no housekeeping was done. The hotel is very close to the Cambridge train station and there are lots of coffee shops near the hotel. We ate our breakfast there one morning.

We stayed at Early of Derby for one night and it was perfect! Either a 30 min walk or 5 min uber into town, the location is great. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The room was clean and had everything you need! They even left a little bag of mini eggs as we stayed on Easter weekend! We will definitely be staying here again.

Great Staff

Great location, onsite parking rare in area so a massive bonus. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms look recently refurbished. Only downside is the location is on a very busy road so rooms facing this are noisy most of the night. Recommend requesting a room at the rear.
