YHA Cambridge Hostel

Sweltering hot mini attic room with too many beds. My top bunk was tiny and uncomfortable, you could not sit up on it as it was squashed right under the roof. Staff opened the fire exit door to the roof but had made no difference on top bed as the air was not moving. I tried everything but every time I turned around the sweat was dripping down my neck. I had asked the female manager (who would not give me her name) twice for another bed (one lower bunk in more open space). She flatly refused although that bed was not occupied so I left at 11PM with nowhere to go. They also refused a refund. Beside this the shower rooms are tiny. And the place is extremely noisy. Avoid.

Family with 2 young kids stayed for 2 nights in a private ensuite room. No complain! Great value! Nice and friendly staff and my son just love talking to the chef in the morning. Not 5 stars purely because it is a bit out of the historic centre, tired legs after a hot day out.

Stayed in a regular shared hostel room back in March 2020 during the start of COVID-19. The communal bathroom area could have been better kept - it was not well stocked with soap at the time, and not the most clean. I hope that with better health standards nowadays these small issues can be fixed. The breakfast options were good, however. I enjoyed the variety of offerings.

Nice staffs and affordable price.
Great location, just 5 minutes walk to train station.
Kitchen is clean and well organized but a bit small.

Fair services for fair prices. Central location and friendly staff. Be aware that rooms are not always having a special bathrooms.

Good hostel. Showers can be improved but overall I liked it. Stayed here twice.

Great rooms and kitchens where clean I think they were a bit short on staff though

Very friendly staff, neat rooms and overall a good experience. Would highly recommend!
