I have no serious complaints. Everyone was nice and helpful. The toilet was tiny and there were some temporary problems with hot water.

Clean, beds were comfortable, staff were super nice. Absolute bargain!
It’s about a 30 min walk to the city which was a bit of a trek but it was fine really. The bathroom on the top floor was quite small and there was no hook on the back door for your close so when you got out the floor got wet as did my clothes. There was also no wash soap in there, that would have been helpful. Aside from that, it was great!

Nice staff, close to underground
Dirty bathrooms, noisy doors, humid rooms and barely space to move inside the room.

Breakfast was disorganised & had run out of the key parts.
our shower in the room was not working & am still awaiting the £20 refund reassured we would get.

DISGRACEFUL! I got to Cambridge, and YHA cancelled my booking on that day. I then had to spend exorbitant costs booking another hotel on the day. Quite disgusting that no apology was offered.

Everything was nice except lack of parking. Normally I don't travel with a car, and it's so close to the train station and walking distance to the center of Cambridge, so it's great for most travelers.
In this case I would have loved parking nearby.

5.0 / 10.0
Generally a pleasant experience as on my previous visits
Breakfast service was slow - all of the cooked breakfast had been cleared away when I entered the dining room, even though I was well in time - I had to wait some time for a new breakfast to be cooked. The hot water flask had run out and wasn't refilled even though I asked - I had to to ask at the counter every time I wanted a cup of tea, which seem to be making extra work for the staff as well as being inconvenient for me.

Big kitchen and a lounge to decompress
Way too hot rooms, no air, windows have stoppers, so you can barely open them
