It is centrally located, yet very quiet. The rooms are small but functional including coffee/tea facility. The wifi was good and quick. The Roost Café opens up at 9:00 am and is a great place for a morning cappuccino.

It was, certainly in the beginning, difficult to find my way through the college area, the signage was not good. The explanation by the reception staff was unclear. I once ended up being locked inside an otherwise open area because I could enter but the door in the fence would not open again with my room card. Breakfast is okay (English style and croissant/Danish, no bread) and the hall itself was cold and windy. Breakfast time is rather limited.

Really lovely welcome and goodbye the following morning from receptionist. Friendly staff at breakfast too.Very convenient location to explore town and really nice to be able to explore the grounds of Jesus college too. The room was large enough, big window, clean and a well lit shower room with a brilliantly powerful shower .The bed was very comfy.THe room was very hot but there were 2 doors opening to a juliet style balcony to allow some fresh air in Breakfast was in the great hall across the grounds , buffet style and plenty of choice. Seating at refectory style tables and overseen by portraits of the great and the good ( of Jesus College presumably) Worth noting.... its a clear your own breakfast things away off the table... its not a hotel you know!!! :-)

The room was very modern and stylish but the lighting after dark wasnt great.

Our room was spotless and had everything we needed. Infact, the whole place felt spotless and clean. Comfortable bed, tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast which was good is in the Main Hall, very Harry Potter! The booking allows access around the grounds which are lovely. Great location close to shopping, restaurants etc. Our room was super quiet overlooking the grounds. All the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. There is a facility to store luggage.

Nothing at all. The only weird thing is that there are no hooks in the bathroom, particularly there is no where to conveniently hang the hand towels so we had to use the toilet roll holder! Bit weird but nothing to put us off highly recommending this place.

A really smart and friendly place to stay with access to the beautiful Jesus College grounds. The staff, in particular the people on reception, are lovely. It is really well located for the centre of Cambridge with all of its sightseeing, shopping, eating and drinking etc. opportunities. We stayed in one of the apartments for the extra space and comfort. They are well equipped with a double bedroom with a comfortable and good size bed, a toilet/shower room, plus a lounge/diner with 2 person sofa, dining table, TV and a compact but well equipped kitchen. Both the bedroom and lounge/diner have sliding doors onto a balcony overlooking Jesus Street. The self-service breakfast is excellent with good coffee. continental and cooked breakfast options. You will not leave hungry. This is the second time we have stayed and we will definitely come back.

The rooms are very warm which is, I suspect, a function of the modern building being very well insulated. There doesn't seem to be a way to improve this other than opening the windows, which is fine unless it is at night when, for me as a light sleeper, the noise from the street was a problem. In the end I used earplugs to block out the sound and slept very well. If sound is a problem for you either take earplugs or try booking a room rather than an apartment and asking if you can have one that faces into the college rather than onto the street. As far as I can tell, all of the apartments face onto the street.

This was my third stay at West Court - Jesus College. It's a really great option when in town for work or visiting friends. It's very central, easy quick cab ride from train station, or short walk into town centre. Rooms are nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. There's a little coffee/tea station with biscuits, and also a big desk for those looking to do some work. Bathroom is a bit more college-y feel and basic, but clean and meets expectations. You get to have breakfast with students during term time which is an interesting experience for those wanting to see college life. Breakfast is plentiful and tasty. You can walk around in the college gardens as well which are lovely. Overall great value.

The standard of the accommodation was very high, the staff were excellent and the college grounds/buildings are beautiful.

Last time I stayed in a room on the road side of West Court and I found this preferable to being on the courtyard side as I was this time. As there was no air conditioning in the courtyard rooms I had to sleep with the vents open. However, there was a lot of noise coming from what I assume was students in a games room on the courtyard and this kept me awake until I decided to close the vents which led to me being too hot and not sleeping very well. Also, it was a little unclear where to go for breakfast and many guests were wandering around lost looking for this (more signage would help).

Smart and well managed hotel inside Jesus College. Friendly, efficient staff and clean well equipped rooms, albeit on the small side. Excellent quality breakfast included. Super value for money right in the centre of the City.

Sink was slow draining/blocked in the bathroom (208). We didn't have the time during our stay to report the issue but I trust that it would have been sorted quickly. Our rooms faced the external boundary and the road was noisy so it wasn't ideal to open the sliding doors to the balcony. There are air vents but no air conditioning so the room was a bit airless and stuffy. Would stay again but would ask for a room away from the road.

Great breakfast, clean and quite room.

Please do not keep all your windows open every day all the time with your radiators set to maximum (30 degrees). You educate future generations, we must consume energy in a smart way and reflect the teaching of the latest discoveries on global warming in our actions. [On the other hand, it must cost you dearly....]

Clean modern en- suite room with view over the college. Attractive wooden features throughout the hotel. Scrupulously clean.

The breakfast arrangement. The breakfast itself - full English self service - was excellent. However, the main historic hall where one ate was an interesting place to visit but too impersonal and cavernous for comfort. Long refectory tables and a vast hall are not conducive to a comfortable friendly atmosphere. Also, I suggest better sign-posting between hotel and dining hall. I got lost both to and from both.

This isn't just a place to stay, but an experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the shower excellent, the breakfast very good, but that doesn't describe the most interesting parts about staying here. You are in one of the most interesting Cambridge colleges, and have free range to explore whilst you are staying, including times and places which are usually off limits to tourists. I particularly enjoyed the Chapel with the stained glass windows by William Morris, and breakfast in the Great Hall.

It was sometimes difficult to find my way around, but the porters were very helpful.
