Excellent option for Stansted Airport

Hostel was spotless and the bed so comfy. Excellent breakfast options available.I was looking somewhere with good location and price after flying into Stansted airport - which is only 40 minutes away by train. Will definitely stay again.

The location was very good. It was close to the train station and in an area with plenty of food options. It was also only a short walk to the historic college area. There is a locker provided in the rooms but you must provide your own lock.

Summer stay

Cannot fault the cleanliness, the staff, the room (although smaller than expected for 4 people). The only complaint we had was the heat in the room that built up during the day and the room did not cool down enough at night, making the nights too warm and even sweaty.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff were very friendly. And room were quiet. The only thing that is not satisfactory is the bed is very small, and no curtains around the bed without privacy, no USB outlet for charging, needs UK adapter, and for tall people the lower bed can not sit up without hitting the top bunker. Bathroom and toilet room very clean yet extremely small.

Great common areas, including a highly functional kitchen (although you'll need pocket knives) and a quiet living room and courtyard. Good secure bike storage. Laundry is cheaper than actual laundromats. The cleaning staff are incredibly hard working and their efforts are impressive to see. Cambridge is small, so it's a short walk or bike to most places.

Great value for money

Really high value for money if one expects a place with a cozy atmosphere, clean and modern facilities, kind staff and in a great, quiet location just a short walk from the train station and the center. If anything, the heater in the lounge wasn't working and so it was a bit too cold to sit in that room, while one of the shared showers had an issue with the drain so water was everywhere. Still, would pick this place without hesitance next time I visit Cambridge!

For someone who doesn't cope well with noise from others, this isn't a place for you. Some male voices talking in communal area were heard multiple times throughout the night. I won't risk staying at another hostel unless there's absolutely no other choice. The shower room could use more than one hook for people to hang clothes and a towel. It's not possible to hang all items on one single hook.
