We stayed in the family room and had a mixed experience. Staff were all friendly and helpful- well, as much as they can be . The breakfast was really good, a proper cooked english which even included black pudding- there are the usual cereals and other options for non carnivores. However, the room was small (we were 4), the toilet... More

This hostel has improved a great deal since I last stayed a few years ago, it's clean and comfortable. I have noticed a big difference. The staff were very friendly as well, I would definately stay there again.

I would like to comment, I had my worst experience staying in Cambridge YHA. It looks like they want to make extra money on top of everything, internet, breakfast, even lockers (even it says it is meant to be "deposit"). It looks very dirty and in the middle of the night I had stranger coming in asking if my bed... More

The location is about 20mins from the city centre so if you would like location, perhaps re think this but I didnt mind the walk and there are reasonably cheap buses! Our room was really nice - just bunk beds so cant go wrong I guess (NO LOCKERS THO???), but the room was cold pretty much all night, I had... More

Cheap accommodation is scarce in Cambridge. It is quite likely that this hostel will be your only reasonably priced choice in Cambridge. So, from this point of view I am glad it exists, however in many aspects it disappointed me. Staff was generally very responsive. They really tried to help. You may have to ask though multiple staff members (perhaps... More

I paid £44 for what was advertised as a "double" room but when I got to my room it was actually bunk beds. Not impressed. The room was a good size but was really shabby and grotty. The worst bit was the communal shower cubicles though, they were bizarre and looked like they'd been installed by the worst kind of... More

Hostel is what u expect. Fairly basic affair. The things that annoyed me the mist were the commercial nature of the hostel trying to charge for anything, lack of plug sockets, small rooms and fairly average showers... but its clean and cheap and close to the station.... nowhere cheaper in Cambridge.

Stayed here for one night in august 2011 and was disgusted by the night receptionist who was rude,confrontational and aggressive when there was a problem with our booking. Severe lack of customer service and she allowed a very heated situation to develop. I realise you need to have a backbone to man reception at night in a hostel but I... More

Our stay here was comfortable, fun and easy. Although I can understand why this hostel has some negative reviews on here, there is much to recommend about it. Staff: uniformly excellent, welcoming and helpful. It can't be easy to maintain this busy city hostel but they do a great job. The desk staff were quick to help when we asked... More
