3.9Hotel Cambridge occupies one floor of a large old building in the Termini district, a maximum of 10 minutes walk from the station. It is at the quieter end of this busy area. We stayed 7 nights in a double room which was a little dark and not very large but was clean, fresh and adequately equipped; the air conditioning kept the room cool at night. There appeared to be some larger, lighter rooms on the other side of the hotel and some had a balcony. The bathroom was decorated to a good standard although leakage from the shower had caused water damage on the plaster on the bedroom wall. An iron and ironing board was delivered promptly on request. A market was held every weekday in the street below our window but whilst the stalls were being set up from 6am, the double-glazed windows meant that we were undisturbed by this. Breakfast was included in the price and served in a small room decorated with frescos. There was a reasonable selection of rolls, pastries, juice, coffee, fresh fruit and yoghurt, however if you like proper Italian coffee in the morning, you would do better to wander out to a nearby bar. There are a number of restaurants within 5 minutes walk in any direction from the hotel, all of those sampled served good food at reasonable prices. Hotel staff were polite and efficient and spoke good English. Checkout is at a civilised 11am and if you are not travelling until later, they will take care of your luggage for you. I'd rate Hotel Cambridge as good value for money and would stay again.
