Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 5.0
Great place for a good value stay. Beds not comfortable and room really basic and tired looking but couldn’t really expect more for the price. Staff very friendly and helpful.
2.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
Good location within walking distance of the train station and bus station stop.
Staff is friendly and informative.
3.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
Reasonable, clean. Large kitchen. Friendly staff.
2.5 / 5.0
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!
3.0 / 5.0
Good price. Good value.
4.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
2.0 / 5.0
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.

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.

The place is wonderful for a stay. But the room was really warm. The food establishment was good and quite convenient. The hostel was a Good location as well.
2.0 / 5.0
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.

Value for money and location not far from train station.
I recommend the cappuccino.

A cheap no frills stay, decent sleep, with a brilliant breakfast option to kick start the day.

The private room was what’s expected and I was happy with that but I left some valuable items in the room and I have tried to ring 25 times across two days to ask them to check if they’re still there and there has still been no answer

Location is close to the train station. No no-site parking, and free on-street parking is mainly from 8pm - 9am, although a few spots from 6pm - 9am. Be warned that the traffic warden was there from 8:50am. Guy on reception in the evening was friendly and helpful, but the lady on the morning was rather rude and unhelpful when we asked for advice about where we could park the car after 9am. ("I don't drive"?! If you work on a reception desk you would imagine that even if you don't drive yourself, you would be capable of assisting visitors to the city with this fairly basic question...). Auto-sensors in toilets go off too quickly and leave you waving your arms around in the dark whilst trying to locate the toilet roll... Breakfast at £10 seemed rather expensive, and there are some lovely options along Mill Road that I'd recommend instead as long as you don't have a 7am start. The individual lights and phone charging points at each bed were good. The mattresses were plastic covered, so noisy if you were on the bottom bunk. Noise from other guests (banging on doors very late at night/ early in the morning) and room too hot and stuffy, so not a great night's sleep. For a couple, the fees working out at about £67- I'd recommend you splurge another £10 or so and find a B&B alternative with parking, as I don't think this represents good value for money, especially not if you come with a car.

Stayed in a double ensuite room, the bed was reasonably comfortable. The shower is amazing, strong pressure, perfect to relax after a long day out exploring. The staff is friendly.

2.5 / 5.0
There was a period of about 2 hours from about 6.30 am when someone was walking up and down the corridor regularly with very heavy footsteps, not trying to keep noise to a sensible level, and slamming doors. As a sleep apnoea sufferer this made it a very difficult night for me and l felt it necessary to leave the City asap to get home and get some sleep rather than spending more time in Cambridge.

YHA Cambridge is always a great stay! They were up to standard with cleanliness as they locked the showers and you had to book a time slot as they would clean the shower straight after usage!
Always a pleasure to use this hostel!
