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.

Great place for a good value stay. Beds not comfortable and room really basic and tired looking but couldn’t really expect more for the price. Staff very friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
