Beds not comfortable and room really basic and tired looking but couldn’t really expect more for the price. Staff very friendly and helpful. ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hiroyuki 14 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Reasonable, clean.

It was close to the train station and in an area with plenty of food options. It was also only a short walk to the historic college area. There is a locker provided in the rooms but you must provide your own lock. ##### Erin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Summer stay Cannot fault the cleanliness, the staff, the room (although smaller than expected for 4 people). The only complaint we had was the heat in the room that built up during the day and the room did not cool down enough at night, making the nights too warm and even sweaty. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Correct Good for the price. Every rooms are small, including toilets and shared kitchen. Rooms are too hot but clean and beds confortable. Hostel is well located near the station. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Yiqing 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly. And room were quiet. The only thing that is not satisfactory is the bed is very small, and no curtains around the bed without privacy, no USB outlet for charging, needs UK adapter, and for tall people the lower bed can not sit up without hitting the top bunker. Bathroom and toilet room very clean yet extremely small. ##### Yiqing Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great common areas, including a highly functional kitchen (although you'll need pocket knives) and a quiet living room and courtyard. Good secure bike storage. Laundry is cheaper than actual laundromats. The cleaning staff are incredibly hard working and their efforts are impressive to see. Cambridge is small, so it's a short walk or bike to most places. ##### Vincent Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value for money Really high value for money if one expects a place with a cozy atmosphere, clean and modern facilities, kind staff and in a great, quiet location just a short walk from the train station and the center. If anything, the heater in the lounge wasn't working and so it was a bit too cold to sit in that room, while one of the shared showers had an issue with the drain so water was everywhere. Still, would pick this place without hesitance next time I visit Cambridge! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### George 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service The food is acceptable, the stable odor exists in the room. ##### George Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Maeve 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really nice convenient and safe Really nice ##### Maeve Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tao 17 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service good price for the place ##### Tao Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARGARITA 2 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location. Just 7 minutes from the train station. Always wish the hostel has curtains. This one doesn’t. Staff was amazing. Washrooms and showers could have been kept up more. Kitchen is midsize but has too many benches so its hard to get around. Continental breakfast was very good and there is a full British breakfast available for a higher price. Over will recommend and seek out another one in another location. ##### MARGARITA Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tuncay 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort The rooms are so bright for sleeping. The towels are extra—no lock for the lockers. ##### Tuncay Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Georgine 14 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Arizona loves the property The place is wonderful for a stay.

Top value for money, fab position, great staff, friendly most basic accommodation, nice to have kitchen and laundry. but don’t forget your ear plugs, face mask, and if you need a soft bed pack a topper. But a bit of a gem really. ##### Carolyn Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gonville Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Gonville-Hotel.h6878.Hotel-Information) > > [Citystay Living - The Vie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Citystay-The-Vie.h8762944.Hotel-Information) > > [Graduate by Hilton Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Graduate-Cambridge.h22462.Hotel-Information) > > [Rectory Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Rectory-Farm.h4026576.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Homerton College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551435.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, Churchill College](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551548.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Waterman.h4329320.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Cambridge.h993753.Hotel-Information) > > [The Varsity Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Varsity-Hotel-Spa.h41854.Hotel-Information) > > [University Arms, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Arms.h26072.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Fellows-House-Cambridge.h50706499.Hotel-Information) > > [Christs College Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Christs-College-Cambridge.h7307741.Hotel-Information) > > [Sorrento Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Sorrento-Hotel.h900680.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge University, King's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-University.h30551510.Hotel-Information) > > [The Earl of Derby - Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-The-Earl-Of-Derby-Inn.h4190502.Hotel-Information) > > [Robinson College - Cambridge University - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Robinson-College-Cambridge-University.h14582331.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Ashley-Hotel.h18927887.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cambridge City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hilton-Cambridge-City-Centre.h8067.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Cambridge.h68865589.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cambridge-Formerly-Known-As-The-Tamburlaine-Hotel.h17161972.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, St John's College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551417.Hotel-Information) > > [Arundel House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Arundel-House-Hotel.h1381852.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Cambridge.h7727331.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Clare College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551413.Hotel-Information) > > [West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-West-Court-Cambridge.h35250698.Hotel-Information) > > [Turing Locke Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Turing-Locke.h68459935.Hotel-Information) > > [Lux Living Apartments - Alpha Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Lux-Living-Apartments-Alpha-Apartments.h11629098.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Cambridge Orchard Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Travelodge-Cambridge-Orchard-Park.h12064012.Hotel-Information) > > [University of Cambridge, Trinity Hall - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-University-Of-Cambridge.h30551403.Hotel-Information) ---
