Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

8/10 Good
"The food and staff were lovely, really enjoyed the spa and massages. The only thing was that our room number 21 was right above the restaurant. You could hear the doors slamming as staff go in and out the side doors of the restaurant and the music was audible through the floor. It was disturbing our sleep in the night and early morning hours. "
