turing locke hotel
A few weeks ago, I was very kindly invited to attend a summer event at the beautiful Turing Locke, an apartment-hotel run by Locke hotels. I had the pleasure of staying at Eden Locke in Edinburgh a couple of years ago so I knew their latest UK opening in Cambridge wasn’t going to disappoint.
I stayed for a couple of nights and immediately had the “home away from home” feeling when I checked in - which I think was partly down to their familiar fragrance. The interiors were dreamy throughout (which my photos attempt to justify) and the hotel staff were all so welcoming.
*disclaimer - the stay was gifted but all opinions are my own!
things you should know
Price - rooms start at around £100 per night (or cheaper if you sign up to be a member) which I genuinely believe is great value.
Location - it’s easily accessible by public transport e.g. I took the train from London King’s Cross and then taxi/bus to the hotel. I recommend the bus as it was £3 for a 24 hour ticket!
In your room - the apartments are well-equipped with everything you’d need for a short stay. You can expect a TV, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, cooking equipment, yoga mat etc. You get the gist…and because it’s still quite new, everything was in top condition.
Hotel facilities and nearby - there’s a restaurant, bar, cafe, co-working space, outdoor space and rooftop terrace all for you to utilise. But there’s also a (huge) Sainsbury’s down the road (2 min walk) so you can easily stock up for your stay. And opposite this is the bus stop that will take you into the city centre.
Wifi - the connection was consistently strong which meant I was able to work all day (both in my room and the co-working space) without any disruptions.
Thanks for reading,
