Cambridge Lodge

Very affordable, staff responsiveness was rather impressive, especially for such a basic place. Location is great, area is dark at night, but I don't think above-average unsafe.

It's old and I wouldn't bring anything that has to be super safe when left in the room (slightly odd room access system and I noticed main door not always locking. All I needed was a clean bed in a room to myself and access to a shower. Ticked the boxes.

Location. Close to shops and public transport while being in a quiet suburb.

Noisy guests banging doors at night.

It was fine but definitely not very clean.

I booked a room with 2 beds and when I arrived the other person in the room had already taken all the bedding and pillows from my bed... there was no one around to fix the issue. Very disappointing.

Just a simple home my feel no dramas

I got a private and it was really nice The price was good And it easy to go to the center (7 min walk to go to the station )

But the cleaning on the share area was not the best

Location ok.

Not properly clean. Cockrroaches and bed bugs.. old mattresses and not clean at all. I had bad experience. So not recommend ?

Good location

1. I booked a female dorm and there was a guy in the room (I even ask for it specially on the check in and they said it was all female) 2. WiFi just terrible 3. I was in a secondary building with no fridge, nowhere to cook, you have to go outside turn the block and go to the other side of the building to go to the kitchen4. No plugs by the beds 5. The bathroom lights drove me crazy! You turn them on from outside, supposedly it is set to 15 mins but it would turn off at around 7 mins, so you could not take a shit in peace because you will be in the dark so quick. 6. No hot water for showering, only lukewarm.

Really nice hostel well located ! Cathy, staff responsible is a lovely person, really helpful.I think it’s one of the best hostel in Sydney

As a lot of different hostel/ accommodation in Australia where people don’t pay attention, the cockroaches in the kitchen are a problem. But they clean the kitchen everyday

Lovely hostel with friendly staff. Nice neighborhood and close to the station.

Clean, comfortable, well run hostel thanks to the management and staff. 2 min walk to the train station. The small leafy park across the road was an added bonus

The train stations was only a 5 minute walk and easy to get to anywhere. Receptionist was lovely, very helpful and went the extra mole to help with any information you needed. If I was to go back and the lady was still there I would be more than happy. So helpful

It was a pack packer place to stay. It needs a lid on the inside bin. And more clean cloths and tea towels to be able to clean kitchen up

Bathroom was clean, clean beds, close walk to train station

The twin room had no aircon, window had no screen and was ground level, so all night somebody just could get in. The fan was loud, we slept next to the door where people had to use card to open it and it beeped every time someone went to shared bathroom during all night. The bathroom was next to our room and we could hear EVERYTHING. Shortly: we did not sleep for both nights there. The saved money were not worth it. Never again.

To be fair, the location is goodA walking distance from the train station

The place, bathrooms, kitchen, outside area …. All are full of cockroaches!!!!!! They’re just everywhere even inside!!! All sizes!!! I just couldn’t use the toilet or the shower comfortably or even sit outside without continuously checking myself, the chair, or my bag if they’re not on it!

Location was brilliant

Our room had multiple bugs, most of which were cockroaches. The beds had cockroaches crawling all over them. My son was traumatised by them. It was to the point we stayed out till 9pm so we had less time with bugs. I tried ti find alternative accommodation as it was sod bad but everything was booked out. There was no air conditioning and the windows did have fly wire so we ended up sweltering.

Every day its people cleaning bathrooms and kitchen. The woman in reception its so kind.

My mattress was so uncontrollable, but I talk with the receptionist and they change it that same day for a good one.

Street parking and close to the theatre

Broken tv remote that didn’t work . Uncomfortable bed

Bad

My friend and I recently stayed at Cambridge Lodge on 13th-14th April.Since returning home to Canberra, my friend had broke out in horrible bumps which she had assessed by a doctor, which they said had been caused by bed bug bites.I have attached a photo for your viewing.I am very upset at the distress my friend is currently going through due to the unhygeinic circumstances of the hotel.I hope this can be addressed and rectified.

The beds were comfortable

I had someone staying in my room who had been living there for over a year. She ate in the room which smelt the place out. I dreaded going into my room due to the smell and the vibe. It smelt nicer in the bathrooms and that wasn’t so fresh

The staff is really kind and helpfull and gives you a warm feeling.

My room didnt even have normal curtains, the light didnt work and the bathrooms were grose. It is a budget hostel so you can expect too much but I would not go back here. Also there is no social vibe in the hostel.

Cambridge Lodge was good value & a nice place to stay. The staff were lovely & helpful. It is a bit worn & tired but the showers were clean & the water was hot ☺️
