Overview

St Catharine’s is one of the oldest Cambridge University Colleges and is easily identifiable by its unique open-sided Main Court and beautiful red brick façade. Nestled in the heart of Cambridge and a short walk from the River Cam, it is the perfect backdrop for a stay.

I had an exceptional experience staying at the college accommodation. The location couldnt have been more perfect. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort during my stay. Overall, the combination of the prime location and the warm staff made my stay truly enjoyable.

Porter was super helpful. Clean accommodation and very close to everything I needed in town. Road noise, but totally to be expected in this part of the city. Great location for exploring the city. Check breakfast times as it can catch you out at the weekend - check out is 10am.

I loved everything about staying at St Catharine's; the buildings, the room, the huge desk, the garden and courtyards, the central location, and all the friendly staff. I am looking forward to staying again.

The staff in the canteen were exceptionally rude. Shower and toilet facilities were really dated and low quality. The room, whilst dated, was large and lovely dual aspect too. Porters were great

J'ai passé un très bon moment au St Catharine college. Petit bémol : le manque de prise électrique à différent endroits dans la chambre. Je recommande vivement l'expérience !

Quick check in. Able to leave bags on check out. Room was quiet and practical. Good to be able to enjoy college grounds. Very well located in centre. Breakfast very good.
