Accommodation

Cambridge is a tourist city, and so can be quite expensive to stay in. Because of this, however, there are also plenty of hotels. I would recommend using a hotel search engine if you want to see what is available.

Alternatively, you could stay in a University of Cambridge College (on a Bed and Breakfast basis). This is best done via the University Rooms website. The rooms will probably be a bit spartan, but the breakfasts are usually excellent, and it is a bit cheaper than a hotel.

If that is still a bit pricy for you, you could try the Cambridge Youth Hostel, which is near to the train station.
