2/3 showers on my floor weren’t working properly. There was a bunch of school kids on a trip the were very very loud, stomping. And they set off the fire alarm. Not hostels fault but still wasn’t great. Very small washrooms. Lovely kitchen space. Not very social. I wish there was curtains on the beds

The staff were fantastic and the place was clean. The beds themselves are the problem. I've stayed in over 40 hostels, and these were the single most uncomfortable beds I've ever stayed in. My gf and I both woke up in incredible pain. Sleeping is the most basic necessity of a hostel--if that can't be achieved successfully, the rest is a non-starter. Boasting about an expensive renovation almost feels like an insult to injury, when the beds are terrible and the laundry facility is kind of a joke

I really want to express that the staff Peter was the most kind person I have ever met. He is always open to help and truly I believe that he loves his job. I really hope to see more of this kind of person in other hostels in other world. Thank you for the stay!

Very nice hostel, rooms and bathroom were clean and free from the weird smells I've encountered in other hostels. Only gripe is the beds were fully exposed with no curtain or anything around them, which did mean you got woken up by the hallway light if someone came in in the middle of the night.

Hands down the best hostel I've stayed at in the UK. My dorm was spacious and clean, and the bunk bed comfortable. Locker space was generous (bring your own padlock), and the bedroom also had a handy mirror and sink, all clean. The shared toilet and showers were pleasant to use, the kitchen was pleasant, the lounge was alright although I preferred the bar/restaurant area. Considering how gross hostels can get, my stay at YHA Cambridge has be positively luxurious.

Very close to the train station but a bit of a walk from tje city centre. Spacious and clean rooms, great kitchen and leisure facilities. A towel would have been appreciated.

Was in a private room so cannot speak to what a dorm experience would be. Very quiet hostel, friendly staff, decent facilities.

Great place! Comfy bed, spacious room, good facilities and great shower. Only bummer was the laundry was £7 and the dryer didn’t work. 20 minute walk into town. Would recommend
