YHA Cambridge Reviews

Bad things: Internet Access too expensive e very very bad, i spent three days and the heating system was just not working. I ask for the staffs and the answer was i can't do anything. Good things: Staffs are friendly and polite, shower was ok. It is a average hostel.

Nice hostel, had a nice stay.

This place is pretty much your only option in Cambridge, unless you want to stay at a B&B or a hotel. It's not a bad deal for your money, but it's definitely not the nicest hostel you've ever stayed at, either.

Location was the worst part, at least 30 mins walk to the city centre. A bit too expensive for the location. Other things are ok.

The hostel was very clean and the atmosphere is great! I definitely recommend it.

Excellent breakfast. Helpful staff when I locked myself out and needed another key and they did not even wake me up to get the key back because by that time I was fast asleep. Since I was there to sell hand-embroidered squares made by Afghan village women at a local Craft Fair, as a volunteer, it was ideally priced for me.

Nice location and cheap. In my opinion, dirty and terrible. Bad hygiene. Not recommended unless you really want to save money.

I enjoyed my time here. The hostel is only a few minutes from the raliway station, and a 5 or 10 minute walk into town. Friendly, efficient staff, good kitchen facilities, a couple of common lounge areas to relax in. Probably my only complaint is there are no lockers in the room. Overall, a good place to stay.

Please provide Internet access included in booking fee and some lockers in the rooms that will increase my priority of choice for this YHA again also keep the noisy person away as they banged the door and roof in night till 12.

Charging for WiFi is scandalous. Especially at the rates set. Charging for towels seems a little behind the times as well. Dorm was poorly heated and ventilated. Showers were borderline filthy. My stay was FINE.

very friendly staff who went out of their way to help

Rules rules rules... and everything costs extra, if i remember correctly even storage of bags £1.00. Food without label in fridge will be removed almost instantly, kitchen bare minimum plates, forks etc... AND somebody ate my cookies (its a big bad world out there)

No free WiFi included. 5£ forv24h internet was too expensive, on the other hand, it was fast and worked ! All in all, staff was very friendly and helpful and everything was very clean! Recommendable!

If you are looking for a place to sleep with a roof over your head then this is the place to go. It has a nice enough common area with couches and a pool table. But the internet prices were wayyyyyy too expensive and didn't reach the rooms. Also the showers were poorly ventilated and when I arrived two of the showers on my floor smelt of urine.

Everything is paid extra, most notably the internet. There are almost no sockets in the rooms. But the staff was very nice and friendly.

Nothing special, a bit institutional but in a fairly central location and right near the train station. Clean and tidy and good kitchen facilities.
