We stayed in the Backpacker wing of the Cambridge Hotel for three nights in a six bed female dorm which was clean and quite a nice size. Although all of us had a sore back after sleeping on the pretty uncomfortable mattresses,the furniture was basically ok and we can´t complain. The staff was friendly and we were provided an opportunity... More

Stayed with my girlfriend in the hostel accommodation in November 2011. Staff friendly and helpful, nice mix of long-term and short-term residents, found the dorm, bathroom and kitchen all clean. Not full of people looking for a party, but not quiet either. Good price. Overall a great stay and highly recommended to other hostellers. More

This is a city centre hotel with a nice old world look. The rooms are very nice and well cleaned, however they suffer from poor insulation to the bar downstairs. The late night bar and the locals on the street make for a poor nights sleep - but if your partying then it's ok. A little expensive for what it... More

I stayed in this hotel for the first 3 night during RWC 2011. The room smells, was never made, the bed and pillows are not even fit for a hostel and the pub made a noise until 4am. More

Stayed 3 nights in the Cambridge. Rooms are small and very basic, but having paid c 60 NZD per night, they were good value, and I didn't expect much. Shared bathrooms are clean and showers warm. Hotel very well placed for Courtney Place and harbour only 5 mins away, as is Basin Reserve, the test match ground. Has a well... More

Recently stayed here, as have done in the past, as it is convenient and inexpensive - although prices are rising and you can find cheaper via the internet. The inside of this Hotel is a surprise as the old structure has been tastefully restored and is attractive. There are back packer facilities downstairs so it would be possible to save... More

Great location by Courtney Place. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. They have a great bar which also serves good food. Rooms can be a little small, but are clean and in good conditions. There is a more professional approach towards hospitality at the Cambridge, which works as a true hotel. If you are traveling as...

Stayed at the single room shared toilet/bath for nzd60 if not mistaken. Location is central just behind Courtney place. Easy walk to main central city and major bus stations. Close to Te Papa. A bit noisy at night as the windows were made of wood and it was nearby pubs and other backpackers. Bed was comfy. Clean small 14inch tv... More

We stayed here on New Years Eve. It was just around the corner from all the main bar and night clubs which was cool. The place is easy to find. The room was good we booked an en-suite which was clean and comfortable, though a little cramp. We did not try any of their food. We went down for breakfast... More
