Reviews of YHA Cambridge describe a budget, no-frills hostel with a convenient location near the train station, generally clean spaces, and a few drawbacks like basic furnishings and sleep affected by noise.
Service is widely described as friendly and helpful, though phone or desk responsiveness can be inconsistent. Kitchens, laundry, and common areas are appreciated, though washrooms can feel cramped and some dorms lack privacy curtains. Multiple guests report hot and stuffy rooms, firm plastic-covered mattresses, and small beds. Breakfast is well liked but price sensitive, and there is no on-site parking; overall, expect a clean, budget stay with a great location and simple comforts.

Location is a strong point: close to the train and bus stations, eateries, and an easy walk to central sights. Handy for arrivals from Stansted by train.
