Guess we should have realised from the price. This is well located but very basic. The bar below is a noisy club. We didn't mind that, but others might. The room was clean but very basic. Bathroom and toilets shared down a flight of stairs. The staff were lovely.

This is a very old hostel in an excellent location right in the centre of Cambridge. It depends what you are looking for. The hosts were very friendly and helpful; they just aren't on site all day and had to be contacted by phone at times. The hostel rooms are in a maze of hallways above a pub, with lots of doors and turns that you have to remember to find your way up through the building to your room. That adds historical interest but is not great for convenience and fire safety. The hostel room itself was very old with carpets worn and stained, not a great experience. The shared bathrooms were recently renovated and looked great.

Excellent B&B option if you are visiting University of Cambridge.

Read other reviews. I do not regret staying here, but I wouldn't recommend it either. It is a bare bones room. We stayed 3 days and I liked it better over time. Good location. Easy keypad access to the building and you don't have to go through the bar to get to your room. We came in Saturday afternoon and checked in at a bar filled with drunken college students. The family with small child waiting before us looked very unhappy to be there. You go upstairs through a labyrinth of fire doors - seriously I've never seen anything like it. The rugs are very worn and stained. I was worried we wouldn't find our way out or back in. Our room had a nice bright duvet, broad windows, and nothing but a bed, small table with tv, and some kind of blocky thing I am not sure what it was. No chair. Rugs were stained - I looked for bugs. But the place was quite meticulously clean and freshly painted, as were the halls. We were on the top floor so there was noise outside and downstairs, but not particularly in our room. The bathroom was a floor down, spotlessly clean, and we literally never saw anyone else there except the person cleaning. The owner was helpful. It's a crash pad. I've stayed in worse. And many many better.

Steven was very helpful, beds comfy, able to leave bags during the day. Quite noisy due tobeing on main road but very convenient for town centre.

We were unable to get ahold of the hotel attendant to check in, perhaps a USA phone problem. Perhaps informing connecting via WhatsApp. The construction was loud. There was no sheet on the beds and the pillows were small. The communal bathroom worked out just fine though.

On the positive side, great location: about 1min from the park and ride bus stop, about 5 mins walk from the Corn Exchange venue. Super friendly and helpful staff. In the negative side: ultra basic accommodation and very noisy from the bar downstairs, until the early hours.

This is a very very basic hotel. Quite literally a place to rest your head in central Cambridge. At £100 per night it is not cheap. The sheets of my bed were not clean and the curtains did not cover enough of the window to block out the sunlight. That being said, the room itself was not horrendous and the shared bathroom was not revolting. Overall I think it was expensive for what you get but not the worst travelling experience of my life.

The location is excellent. The room is clean and staff are helpful. However, avoid booking on Fridays and Saturdays if you want to sleep at night. The bar plays very loud music 'til 3am and it's impossible to sleep.

As all the other reviews, this is just a room over a bar, shared bathrooms and no breakfast. I was aware of this (and that it’s way overpriced), but there’s also no one around in the bar in the morning in case anything goes wrong. I forgot to take my room key to the bathroom with me, and was locked out my room from 4am to midday, which was when someone appeared in the bar downstairs. I was then informed I had missed the checkout time. Really wished I had booked somewhere else.
