  Liked: 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.

  Liked: 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.

  Improve access to attendants!

  Liked: 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.

  Concert Stay

  Liked: 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.
