Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Loved the location, easy stroll to town, clean and fine overnight stay, would stay again. Friendly service, everything you need. Nice Hot water in the shower, good prices here, might need more space if staying longer.

The Cambrian Motel is a great place to stay in Cambridge, very close to the CBD.
In the last 2 weeks we have stayed there twice. We went back a second time because the units were spotlessly clean, warm with very comfortable beds, and the hosts were friendly and helpful.
We certainly recommend the Cambrian Motel for your next stay in Cambridge.
Thank you.

Friendly hosts and very reasonable prices but the place is dated, a bit scruffy and very tired. Bed was ok, pool was a nice bonus on a hot evening. The location is certainly central and wasn’t noisy despite being on main road but coukd hear the next units tv through wall.

We had a room with a king size bed and it was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy but the kitchen oven was something from the dinosaur era (no joke) and this is not a purposely built motel its old flats that have been turned into a motel. The shower had great pressure but oddly it had a window half way down the wall so the water goes all over the window sill and you cant open it to let steam out as then everyone would be able to see you. They didn't supply any shampoo or conditioner only soap. The TV had sky but is small and there is no where to sit outside to enjoy a drink or have any privacy. We paid $170.00 for the night and I think that's terrible for the quality of this motel.

We booked 1 night in this motel late in November. The staff were helpful and friendly and the bed was comfortable. The decor was a little tired and the skirting boards hadn't been cleaned in quite a while.
That said, it was only a short walk into town, to any of the attractions.

Wouldn't recommend - very tired and in need of a major makeover. Unit we were in provided microwave and means to cook a simple meal BUT no sink except for in bathroom - absolutely not OK. No milk provided. Shower curtain mouldy, shower temperature hot then cold. Pillows thin. And not super cheap.

We stayed at Cambrian motel lodge on 11th June. Can thoroughly recommend this motel. Our unit was spotlessly clean, new carpet/furniture/bedding. Although we didn't use the kitchen facilities, they were all immaculate. The owners were cheerfully and friendly. We will definitely stay there again.

Yes, it possibly needs a little updating, but for the price, this was a great motel. We stayed for 5 nights. Owners were very friendly & helpful & went out of their way to make us comfortable. Comfy bed, large room, full kitchen & decent shower. Well located a few minutes walk from town & a selection of bars & restaurants. Would stay again.

This motel was excellent - far better than we thought it would be from their website. It had an unheated outdoor swimming pool, indoor hot-tub, and *free* internet which is always a bonus.

The hosts were really friendly, and when they saw we got in the pool they came and bought us towels. The room was spotless and clean, and had a cooker, microwave, and fridge freezer. There was a modern flat screen TV with Sky.

We used this hotel when visiting the Hobbiton film set which is nearby. The motel is on the main road into Cambridge, but is set back from the road so was very quiet.
