West Court - Cambridge - Campus Accommodation

One of the most unforgettable experiences lately, room was newly renovated, very comfortable and had an amazing view to the college courtyard. Breakfast was way better than the ones in 4-star London hotels and the breakfast room is like out of Harry Potter books. Big thanks to the staff and Jesus college. They truly took us to our good old college times.

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

Clean chic room with nice view. Staff was friendly.

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!

What a serene hotel in the lively city of Cambridge. The rooms overlooking the courthouse are particularly lovely, simple but good. It’s a great base for any visit to the city. The only downside was the late start of breakfast service. We would have loved to grab a bite at 6:30 AM before heading out.

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.

What a lovely place - the room was great, clean and comfortable! The winner was breakfast in the divine hall - never such a beautiful place to eat breakfast

Great staff and great place inside Cambridge

This is a lovely place to stay, both centrally located and, at least in the old block, quiet with rooms overlooking the quad or other green areas. The staff were so helpful and friendly and there is a pleasant cafe and bar area. The rooms in the old block where I stayed were lovely and very comfortable.
