I had a great time staying there, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The bedroom and other facilities were clean and tidy. There was a large locker under the bed, which was very convenient for not having to carry all your stuff when visiting the city (just need to bring your own padlock). The hostel is well located, close to the train station and about a 25 minute walk to the city center.

It would have been convenient to have a sink in the shower room as well, but other than that, all good.

The hostel is about a 4 minute walk from the train station and about a 15 minute walk in to town, which is perfect. I flew over from Spain, after 2 very long days of moving house and was tired beyond belief. When I realised I have been allocated a top bunk I ask a member of staff if I could possibly change to a bottom bunk. Without any hesitation, it was swapped straight away and he made sure that my next stay, a few days later was also changed. The place is impeccably clean, the staff are amazing and it's a fantastic place to stay.

Nothing at all

The location close to the station and within walking distance of the city centre is great. The neighbourhood is very nice, with several supermarkets close by and a cozy pub down the block. We shared a room with four people, which was fine for sleeping there. There is a nice shared kitchen and sitting area.

Our room was not spacious at all: the beds took 85% of the space, and moving around with four people was like playing Tetris. We all knew each other so that was no problem, but I can imagine it’s not if you are sharing the room with strangers. The beds also do not have curtains, and for the lockers you need to bring your own lock.

I liked the way it was close to the centre and it was in the quite area. Room and beds were clean, however you need to wear earplugs as other people can be snoring at night. Staff is very friendly and understanding. Even though I did nt order breakfast but it looked yummy. Take your own towel and enjoy your stay.

Some facilities are old, for example for showering and it is not that clean. However, it is manageable for a short stay. I could not see any lockers for the luggage inside the room, but it was safe to keep the luggage in the room.

My daughter and I stayed in Cambridge YHA a few times, the price was very good when I first time or second time booked it, it became higher and higher later. Generally the staff were friendly and helpful, we really appreciated their service, but the manager was a different story. Generally, YHA in Cambridge was a good place to stay in good location with all necessary facilities including kitchen, washing machine and dryer. The luggage can be stored easily internally or externally. The guests there were generally friendly. YHA in Cambridge has its unique atmosphere in a good way which was different from other accommodations, it had lovely sitting areas, full breakfast was value for money.

The manager was rude at least in two occasions, two staff were very rude for once booking, other staff were all good and friendly. The price became higher and higher for each booking. Had to flush twice poo continually from unknown guests left in the public toilet, disgusting and unbelievable. Individual guest might not clean the bathroom after use. The Twin Room could be very small if wanted two luggage inside the room. The luggage Room for all guests' luggage can be accessed by any guest who had a key. The kitchen could be crowded during dinner time.

Despite 3. Bunk beds and a possible 6 occupants the room was adequately spacious with good storage space. There were 4 of us in the room in daytime temps of 30 deg. And although hot and uncomfortable there was ventilation via window opening - enough not to suffer. Although the room was deemed ‘quiet’ (end of a busy corridor) the through floor noise from room(s) above was troublesome - many creaking, rumblings and banging. I got accustomed to it.

Noise, to some degree. Possibly related to construction of the building, the pull-out locker system or what - it existed. And was troublesome. thankfully I was very tired, exhausted even, and once asleep I stayed asleep.

Location was excellent, the room was a good size, bed was decently comfortable, showers were very clean, the recreational areas are spacious and clean, staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful

toilets were a little small and not the cleanest. the luggage hold room is not very secure, bags are all left in one room that anyone can access if they ask for the key - there are lockers you can put them in but they are small and you need coins for it to work

It was fine, 24 hour check-in went smoothly. There was a proper kitchen with two three of most things like kettle, fridge, sink etc. so you're not queuing. Bed was comfy. Fairly nice sofa area by the reception. It's not really a living room, but you could certainly chill there and do your work, hang out and chat, etc.. I get the impression the place is set up for people studying or visiting the uni, that need to deal with their life and not waste time on things like noise at night or queuing in the morning.

Three of everything maybe isn't enough when it comes to showers starting the day at the same time. I didn't have to queue but the guy after me did. No drinking your own alcohol - I imagine that's a plus if you're there to study, however. They do have a bar, though. I was in a room full of people whose feet stank! 😂 Don't know if I was unlucky or if it was because the room was warm and not well venitlated.

Very clean, warm, safe, spacious, individual shower rooms, great cafeteria with good, reasonably priced food throughout the day, guest kitchen, near centre of city and station, reasonable sized bedrooms. All feels very professionally run.

Everything about the property was great. Some of the guests seemed unfamiliar with basic manners staying in a hostel, e.g. leaving clothes, shoes and bags on floor so other guests fell over them as room was completely dark at night, talking loudly to self for a long period of time about some very disturbing subjects in the middle of the night, not opening windows at all so room was stiflingly hot and very smelly at night!

Rooms and communal areas were clean, comfortable and in good condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. We only had drinks there but they were good quality. It's in a good location for the railway station. It was quiet overnight. We had a private ensuite room which was ideal for our group. I thought the cost of our stay was excellent even though it was higher due to school holidays. We would definitely stay here again.

There was nothing about it that we didn't like
