    Only couple of things which seems to come up most places we stay, cheap loo seat that's always loose and poor shower pressure.

    Great location, room was all we needed, given fresh towels for each day, kitchen facilities if needed. Parking easy. Swift and easy check in and check out.

    Mary and Nellie welcomed us so well. We were celebrating a 70th birthday. 8 of us .transport to town so easy and staff at Rathmore couldn't have been more helpful. Basic clean accommodation and the best was an Irish music night on our last night.Great memories made.would definitely recommend 👌

    This time the room was ice cold when we arrived and even after the heater was switched on it never became warm, the heater was cold the most of the time. Brrr.. Christmas eve after midnight a private party was going on downstairs at the pub, the music was so loud and impossibly to stay at our room , it was going on to very late and not before I went down for complaining it stopped.

    It's very near the train station and the room was clean. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I have often used The Rathmore for a weekend or more.

    It is a short way to the rail station and a 20 min. walk to the city center. the rooms are very clean and neat. The staff are very helpsome and familiar kind. It is a bonus with the shared kitchen . The area is close to shops as Tesco, so it is easy to make your own food if you like. I always stay at Rathmore when i am in Cambridge.

    We were given the wrong room and had to ask another group to swap that were given ours by mistake, thankfully they were OK to do so. Someone burnt their toast at 8:30am Sunday so fire alarm ensured no lie in ! Shower very very weak and a decent loo seat needed !

    Decent space and beds very comfy. Perfect location for station and stroll into town. Parking spaces also good. Decent pint of Guiness in bar. Kitchen and lounge space handy if staying more than a couple of days.

    The bathroom wasn't clean and the ceiling above the shower was mouldy. The furniture in my room (with two single beds) was very outdated and the room smelled of stale cigarette smoke.

    There's a hostel-like feeling to The Rathmore, with a shared kitchen, lounge and bathrooms. Due to my flight being late, I arrived in the middle of the night but was left a key and the map of the premises, which was very kind of the owner. I needed the map since there are about nine rooms at The Rathmore and it's not easy to find your way around in the dark, at 1am. :-) The location is quite central, it takes about half an hour on foot to reach the town's pedestrian zone, and about 15 minutes to the train station. Although it's above the pub, it was very quiet at night (that being said, I was there on a week night).

    The toilet seat wasn't fixed to the toilet.

    We stayed in the en suite option but the rest of the accomodation is more like a hostel. But everyone was quiet and respectful.

    Some of the showers have a low pressure and sometimes it's a bit noisy because of the road. But it's really nothing.

    It's a very nice place for a weekend trip in Cambridge. Always clean rooms, and friendly staff . I have been staying there for many times ❤

    It was warm when we stayed, a working fan would have been welcome.

    Very friendly welcome, room was comfortable, plenty of storage. The rooms are over a pub which was busy with a lot of regulars but we were made to feel welcome and comfortable.

    There is a common kitchen where you can prepare your own meal ( if you want). Unfortunately some other guests were leaving dirty. ( luckily cleaning maids also fixed that part ) :-)

    We had a big flight delay and lovely girl in the pub waited for us to arrive and also kept the pub open to have a pint before sleep. Staff was really nice and friendly and since we had a late departure we could leave our bags in the room until late afternoon.

    Strange kitchen arrangement. Told to help ourselves to cereal etc in the morning but everything tucked away in various cupboards looked like it belonged to people staying there permanently.

    Location. Staff. Comfortable bed.
