“Alington House, while perhaps not the most lavish, strikes me as a genuinely welcoming place to land in Cambridge. The hosts clearly care about creating a comfortable, almost familial atmosphere, and the inclusion of practical amenities like in-room fridges is a thoughtful touch. It's the kind of place where you can settle in and feel at home without breaking the bank, a solid base for exploring the city.”
