West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation

Clean room, tasty breakfast

I had a wonderful stay at West Court. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Cambridge, making it easy to explore the city on foot while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of Jesus College. The room was clean, comfortable and thoughtfully maintained, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The gardens and historic surroundings are absolutely beautiful and made the experience feel truly unique. The staff were friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. Their professionalism and kindness made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Staying at West Court was one of the highlights of my visit to Cambridge. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a beautiful and historic setting, and I would be delighted to return in the future.

The room was nicely layed out and a good size. The 3rd floor room had an accessible shower, but when running it, the floor drain did not work, so water filled the bathroom floor and over-flowed onto the room carpet

Excellent breakfast

We had a great stay - friendly staff, lovely room and grounds, very quiet, lovely breakfast and right in the centre of Cambridge - can't recommend enough!

Clean room and great staff.

Lovely room, excellent breakfast. Good value for Cambridge. Reception staff were friendly and very helpful.

I‘m rather at a loss at the rave reviews of this place. It’s a beautiful looking, but quite basic set of college accommodation - not a hotel. That means practical things like no reception/ arrival after 8pm, breakfast only from 8-9:30, and check out at 10. All of that wouldn’t knock it down significantly for me were it not for some poor design / maintenance issues with my room (309). The heating pipes hiss loudly even when switched off. The toilet dripped all night; then ran constantly keeping me awake. The extractor fan randomly switched itself on and off all through the night. The shower was missing a washer, which meant it shot out water sideways from the bottom of the hose. The water temperature regulation was totally shot and moved between Luke warm and scalding hot. The curtains don’t black out. All in all I had one of the worst night‘s sleep in any paid accommodation of the year (and I stay in a lot). At £139 it would have been slightly pricey but okay had I actually been able to sleep - which is after all the most basic requirement of any accommodation. As it was, it was terrible value for money and I would not recommend it to anyone based on my experience.

Amazing to be able to stay at one of the colleges in Cambridge, but since it was a shared bathroom, and there was no sink in the room, I had to go out of the room to get water for the kettle or just to wash my hands, so that was quite inconvenient. And also you had to take the room key every time you left the room which then cut off the electricity in your room.

We loved our stay! My spouse and I were initially unsure about the shared bathroom, but it turned out to be a non-issue. The grounds were delightful, and while the room was small, the design made it feel just right—cozy and well thought-out. Breakfast was a highlight: the morning walk to it added charm, and the meal itself brought real joy. The location was excellent—peaceful yet well-connected. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends visiting the area. Tip: Shop around for punting—prices can go as low as £20–£25 if you look!

Noise from the street kept me awake.

Room in a dormitory in Jesus College. Access to private grounds, breakfast in their dining hall. Quite reasonably priced. What’s not to like here? The shared bathroom. Other than that, it was pretty great.

Lovely room and lively service! Mé and my wife were satisfied and happy there.

Fabulous accommodation in great building. Lots of thoughtful touches in the room ie plenty of tea and coffee, great kitchen set up in the apartment rooms. Can’t fault the venue. Great breakfast and all staff very helpful. The accommodation is in a fabulous location, easy for all the sights in Cambridge. Would definitely stay again.

Expectations should be set low for college accommodation at Cambridge. It is not luxury but it was better than what I received as a student. The breakfast in the historic main hall of Jesus college was the best!

Great spot and excellent value for the money.

Great location, spotless rooms andba great breakfast in the Jesus College hall

Perfect location Very friendly and helpful staff Great breakfast Wonderful place to stay

Very comfortable stay in the middle of Cambridge, clean room and good ensuite.

Wonderful to be part of the college! Central to shops and all that Cambridge has to offer. East walk from the Park and Ride stop and restaurants 5 mins away. Staff were very helpful and informative and helped with our bags. We stayed in early November and were not aware of other guests even though we were sharing a bathroom. Cosy, warm and very clean- a wonderful change from a hotel.
