Welcome to YHA Cambridge! Our beautiful Youth Hostel has been in the same location since 1945 and after a £1.4 million restoration in early 2014, it is now the best it has ever been. Cambridge is a great place to visit for families, lone travellers or groups. YHA Cambridge is in a prime location, only three minutes’ walk from the train station, and a perfect base to explore the historic university city. YHA Cambridge offers a wide selection of rooms, many of them en-suite, to suit the needs of all travellers. You can make the most of your stay in Cambridge by taking advantage of our staff’s recommendations, as well as discounted tickets for many attractions and activities, including the Cambridge favourite, punting (even cheaper for YHA members!).
Cambridge is called the cycle city and with good reason! Explore the city on your own or get off the beaten track with Cambridge Bike Tours. We have secure bike lockers available for guests that bring their own bikes. Finish a great day out sightseeing with dinner in our brand new café and bar, Scholars, or relax with a drink in our quiet courtyard.
FREE WI-FI available in communal areas for guests.
