YHA Cambridge Reviews

nice, clean rooms, friendly staff. no warm water in the showers however... not the best way to start the day....

The only thing i don't agree if that i can't drink a beer in the kitchen. Is not fair!! Come on i'm 37!!!

As there are no more other options in cambridge, this is the most convenient place to stay overnight. Location close to railway station, not so close to the centre. Rooms were good, I stayed in 4bed dorm. Staff okay, quite helpful. What I really liked was an English breakfast (buffet style) for just 5 pounds. Bathrooms were clean. I really missed free internet/wifi connection, 24h access costs 5 pounds. Overall, I recommend.

Hello, we really enjoyed our stay at your hostel, but what I really need to highlight is that we have left our luggage in the luggage room but actually we missing some very nice souvenirs (in total 20pounds) and material which had been stolen from a Hostelguest. Please make sure that you (staff) check who receives the key and if he really is a guest at your hostel. Thank you very much, Linda

Nice rooms and beds. Problem with doors in the corridor being too noisy. Have big common rooms with tv and huge self-service kitchen. Annoying however is the locker system where you may £2 for each time you lock (i.e. not per day).

We booked a breakfest for 4.95 Pounds and it was really delicious. Full english breakfest furthermore different Cornflakes, bread, jam, .... yummy!

Staff was really lovely! Everything else was good as well - it was clean, safe and very close to town centre but it wasn't the town centre itself. I would definitely stay there again. Maybe could be a little less pricey for what it is.

Overall it was a good, clean organized hostel. But on the hostelworld website it is listed as having free internet access and when I asked the staff about it they just said no, that is not true and didnt bother to verify it. This I was not happy abt because one of the main reasons for booking this hostel was the free internet access. This is false representation by YHA and Hostelworld should take it up with them, trying to entice customers with free internet but not providing it. Not good.

the neighbourhood is a bit noisy at night but the location is excellent especially if you are passing through and travelling by train like I was.

Pros: - The breakfast (full English and continental) is truly great and totally worth the 3 pounds (you won\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t get anything better in Cambridge)! - The staff was really nice and helpful - Nice new sheets on the beds Cons: - Only one bathroom for around 15 people on one floor - There are no security lockers in the rooms and the ones in the luggage room cost 2-3 pounds per use (you don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t get your money back after use) - mattresses are really thin and beds are rather on the

Nice hostel in the heart of Cambridge. Helpful staff and good atmosphere.

I booked for 1 night and the day before arriving in Cambridge that they really didn't have any room avaible so I had to go in 1 expensive hotel because of their fold. Even more, they said that they are not going to refound my deposit. Absolutely a place to avoid. So if you book with them you have to know that any time they can cancel your booking and then you don't know where sleep.

I found the hostel to be one of the cleanest and most organised I've stayed in across the world. Rooms and bathrooms were nicely sunny and bright, and the staff were helpful and real friendly! Really easy to get to from the station. V recommended!

Not a single major problem, rooms are well-prepared and comfortable including the bathroom. There is some fun in the common room at night as well.

I liked the staff, they were friendly and helpfull. Also you can go in and out 24-hours which is a plus. What I didn't like is the cleanliness. The room was fine but the toilets were plain gross.

mattress was really old with a huge scrape in it

I think it is the only hostel in Cambridge. Very nice staff. A bit far from the city (15 minutes walk) but close to station and supermarket.

Rooms were small and depressing and even with the heating on maximum it was still freezing!! I had to sleep with my clothes on. There was a school visiting and children running around in the halls screaming to each other at 7 in the morning. The hostel should have told them to be more quiet, but no one bothered. The woman in the reception the day we arrived was rude. Breakfast average. Some toilets had gaps in walls so you could hear EVERYTHING from the next toilet. Far from the centre.

in general it was very good. the toilet and shower facilities were very good. not having free wifi would be the main negative aspect.

This is the only hostel in Cambridge, and your cheapest option for accommodation. I would stay here again, as it has fairly reasonable prices and an ok location, but it is not particularly fun or pleasant.
