What guests think

At Christ's College Cambridge, travellers stay in basic student-style rooms within a historic, central college setting, praised for excellent location, good value, friendly porters, and a generally well-liked breakfast, though amenities are simple and comforts modest.

Rooms vary between modern and older blocks, often lacking TVs, with some tiny bathrooms, many stairs and no lift, and Wi‑Fi that can be unreliable. Several reviews note street or late‑night noise, so light sleepers may prefer quieter inner rooms. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few guests reported dirty bathrooms, stained carpets, or poorly cleaned windows. Overall, it suits travellers prioritising history and practicality over full hotel amenities.

Very convenient location snd spacious room. Rather a lot of stairs (4 flights to my room including stairs to the bed on a mezzanine) next time in would request a room on a lower floor. No wifi but I had my phone. Definitely worth it for the price and location.

Lovely staff and easy check in and we were on an open day visit for the University so absolutely perfect location and great breakfast. Just no hot water in the morning and had travelled a long way so needed a good shower!! Strip wash instead!

Simple student room with basic necessities. Shared bathroom didn't seem to be attended daily as some traces of rubbish left by others are observed for more than a day, along with loo roll not topped up at some point for a day. Would have appreciated availability of fan during the week of heatwave. Overall this place is good for it's price, very convenient location, and surrounded by beautiful old buildings.

Christ's College is an old institution with lovely grounds in the centre of Cambridge and it is easy to walk to attractions.The accommodation is in a modern block at the back of the grounds and was built by the architect for the National Theatre .So I was faced with a huge flight of concrete steps and no lift!Luckily I had help with my case from a gardener on my arrival and a cleaner as I left and in between I got quite fit! But I think you should warn prospective guests with limited mobility as there are rooms at the ground floor of the block for which you do not need to use the steps. Breakfast was included and was very good with options of cold meats, juice,fruit,cereal,cooked breakfast, toast, bread and jam as well as tea or coffee.The room was modern with ensuite facilities ( mini wetroom). NO TV but once I managed the complicated instructions I could use my tablet on college wifi.Excellent value for money!

A very reasonably priced accommodation for central Cambridge. The rooms were functional (being student accommodation essentially) but perfectly clean and reasonable. There is no car parking, but staff allowed me to leave my motorbike within the grounds which was very much appreciated. The breakfast was excellent.

It slightly depends on what room you get - old or new building, bathroom attached or not - but in general, this is a great place to stay, wonderful campus, charming surroundings and Buttery, location excellent, price very reasonable, stayed here more than once and always felt it was the right choice.

My room was in a concrete block so I missed the atmosphere of living in one of the historical buildings. However, the room was facing one of the inner courtyards and was silent at night. Ensuite bathroom was really very very tiny. Overall, a pleasant experience - well recommended.

It is really interesting to stay “in college” for those of us who have never had the experience. Don’t expect luxuries. But the room was large, clean and comfortable; the breakfast “in hall” was fine. The location is perfect for seeing all the Cambridge sights. Something a little different than a run of the mill hotel room.
