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.

The location was very good. 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.

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.

Back packers gem.

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.

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.

I enjoyed my stay here, even if it was just for a night. For my first stay in a Cambridge hostel, it was an unexpectedly pleasant experience. Rooms were clean and had everything I needed. I’m not too picky and the size of the bed was just right for me, but maybe someone taller might have found it less comfortable. They also have a self-catering kitchen for those who prefer to make their own meals (definitely cheaper), and the kitchen was well equipped. I didn’t get to try the breakfast opinion, maybe next time when I come round. I’ll highlight some other things; - Super friendly staff and extremely helpful. I would like to commend the lady receptionist who assisted me in printing documents last minute. She was a real life saver. - They also have a baggage room where you can keep your belongings even if you’re checking out or whilst your room is being prepared. So, I felt quite safe leaving my things there. - The area around seems nice and there are various restaurants nearby. Overall, would definitely come again. Good value for money.
