I love travelling around UK and stay in some hotels. This time I stayed here 4 nights YHA Cambridge. Mia in the reception checked me in. Shes very friendly, smiling face, approachable, and helpful that made me feel at home. Very well explained and details when checking me in as well as the other customers arrived. Jack and Mossimo as well are warm welcome during my stay. On my first morning, I had breakfast and enjoyed lots of selections in the buffet plus Full English breakfast. On my second day, I had continental breakfast this time because I have 1 chicken left from last night. I ask the lady (Chef) asking for a FAVOR if my piece of chicken allowed to reheat in the main kitchen. The customer kitchen that time was a bit busy. So I was wondering if she can reheat it for me. I was surprised that she refused me and said “You need to go to the kitchen customer that is why me made it there and walked away” I feel disappointed because even her voice of tone was “RUDE”. Shes not helpful. And shes not busy during that time because only few customer. She never even say GOOD MORNING during my entire stay very sad. We are working in Hospitality so at least we will try to be helpful and friendly to our customers. I know we are not a hotel or a five star hotel but at least there is willingness to help other people. Every staff was trying their best to have a very good reputation. I was hoping that it will not happen to other customer because it not very good at all. I would recommend this YHA Cambridge but I will never stay again.

We loved every minute of our stay at this beautiful hostel! In fact, we planned our visit here around their availability. :) I briefly lived in Cambridge 20 years ago, and often walked past this beautiful hostel on my way two and from the train station. There was always the loveliest atmosphere around the place, and such a safe and convenient location. It was so nice to see that nothing has changed in this regard. There were five in our group - two adults and three children. As such, we booked a private room. It was beautiful, convenient, and very secure! We did share restrooms, but with such a small group of other rooms that it was almost like having an en suite. The staff could not have been more kind and helpful. It was our second day in England from the USA, and we were thinking through many logistical questions as we got acclimated. The staff were so helpful as we thought through transportation options. The breakfast was the best I've eaten at any YHA property, undoubtedly. And the dining area has so much character! We loved the mural of famous Cambridge alumni punting together. I would recommend this hostel to anyone. It's a wonderful lodging in a phenomenal city.

“Second stay here, we would return but not stay in Room 4..”

We have stayed here before and we loved it! We paid £150 so we could have a en-suite room. The room we were given was very small ! There was 4 of us staying in room number 4 and it was very tight.. Room number 4 would be better to sleep 2 people or use this room as storage .. ( yes it was that sma… more

We have stayed here before and we loved it! We paid £150 so we could have a en-suite room. The room we were given was very small ! There was 4 of us staying in room number 4 and it was very tight.. Room number 4 would be better to sleep 2 people or use this room as storage .. ( yes it was that small) .. A group that came back during the early hours woke us up, playing a game of ‘let’s jump from the bunk bed’ .. Bang , bang thud at 2.45am ! This wasn’t good! I went down to reception to complain. Reception gave us some ear plugs and reassured me, he would give them a knock to inform them of our complaint. The noise stopped so he must have told them .. We will definitely come back as we love Cambridge and we love staying at the YHA, but not room 4.

“Clean and comfortable hostel”

This place is just clean, supplied with kitchen living room and even with a quite decent breakfast. The walking distance to Regent street and train station is acceptable (<15min). The street side rooms may be a bit more noisy.
