About Fenners Hotel
Fenners Hotel suits travellers who want straightforward, affordable accommodation in Cambridge without needing extra polish or added extras. It works well for those driving into the city, since free on-site parking is a rare find this close to the centre, and for anyone who simply needs a comfortable bed and a good breakfast before a day of sightseeing.
The hotel has 22 modern, simply furnished rooms on Tenison Road, with free WiFi throughout and a garden for guests who want a bit of outdoor space. A full English breakfast is included, and luggage storage is available for those arriving early or leaving late. It is not a place built around striking design or elaborate facilities, but it covers the essentials reliably.
From Tenison Road, Cambridge's cultural landmarks and riverside walks are within easy reach, making Fenners a practical base for exploring the colleges, museums and the Cam on foot. It suits visitors who want a functional, well-located stopover rather than a destination in itself.

What guests say
The hotel is very close to the Cambridge train station, so it is very convenient for travellers arriving late at night. Compared with its neighbouring hotels, it could have had clearer hotel front, as I missed it in the dark. My single room in the attic was very small, considering the rate, but was fortunately a clean, decently decorated en-suite one. Central heating and double glazing were sufficient to make it cozy throughout my stay. The bathroom was really tiny, but again very clean. The electric shower was powerful, but the small gap between its front and back shells made me concerned of electric shock. Room service was good - bed was made every day, and the room tidied up with tea bags, coffees and toiletries replenished. You have to book in advance for the free continental breakfast at half hours the next morning. The breakfast was simple but good enough. The staff member I met was friendly and helpful.

Besides: - the very welcoming/friendly staff, - the regular breakfast which was small (in choice and amount) but taken care off (warm breakfast you have to pay extra) and - the bed which felt great and soft, we have no good remarks. Shower was a horror (too low for my normal height and hot/cold constantly). Even though we had a hardfloor room, we had problems with our allergies in the morning => should be cleaned better.

Good location by the station. Friendly staff. No breakfast. Room was quite small, not very clean (dusty floor and hairy shower) and in need of some maintenance. I was woken a lot by slamming doors and squeaky floorboards, the room is not soundproof. The bed was very comfy. Cheap hotel, you get what you pay for.

The hotel is clean enough albeit very old and slightly in disrepair. The room was clean, sheets were okay, and it had what you would expect from this sort of establishment (towels, kettle, etc.) There is no formal reception and no parking. No bike area either (we cycled) but the staff were helpful and found another room to keep them in. If I'd have to, I'd stay again, as nothing was really that bad, but wouldn't recommend if you have other options.
