Front desk Lady is wonderful, always helps and helps. Room was lovely and clean only issue was the other guests smoking in the bathrooms and on the deck area... it smells and is not good for asthmatics. I don't think the management knows this is happening as its before or after their hours

The property was an easy walk to transportation, clean, had an issue with a blocked toilet, looks like property is under renovations in parts (Or needs a little) beds very comfortable, great views, has character. Very affordable, and friendly staff. Nice and quiet for a mini vacation. Or a weekend retreat.

8/10 Very good

Cheap and cheerful, with clean rooms, simple but reasonably comfortable beds, and decent bathrooms. There is a small kitchen area for preparing food etc., and mini-fridges and sinks in the bedrooms. (No kettles in the bedrooms, but there are tea and coffee making facilities in the kitchen.) There is a pleasant outdoor area for meeting other guests, hanging out, and chatting - it's a bit chilly in the winter, but was still attracting a friendly crowd when I visited. If you're looking for somewhere basic to rest your head at a very reasonable rate by Sydney standards, the Cambridge Lodge is worth checking out!

4/10 Fair

Disappointing, unclean and overpriced

So disappointed in our stay that we left a day early. This is a classic case of pictures are a hundred times better than the accommodation, considering the price per night of this I would have expected more. On night one I placed a shampoo lid on the bathroom shower floor and by day three it was still there, clearly showing the communal shower had not been cleaned at all. Everything was broken, cracked electrics hanging out gf the wall- it was pretty poor. The room was covered in ants, and our window didn’t lock and over looked a communal patio, nothing was safe, everything was broken. To top it all off there was a screaming baby for the entirety of the time. I would recommend booking somewhere else, location was nice though and staff pleasant enough, the owner of this place needs to spend some money and actually do it up.

6/10 Good

You get what you pay for....

The good - Beds were comfy enough, but not outsatnding - Relatively cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for - Near to stanmore train station so transportation is easy and cheap into the CBD - Near to enmore restaurants which have every type of cuisine you could want at affordable prices - Wifi is fast enough to stream tv shows/films, but you'll need to log in every time you connect to it (for whatever reason if I was connected to it for "too long" the wifi would get slow) The not so good - Unclean, a cockroach was in my room and another was in the kitchen. People washed pots and pans but didn't put them away & the hobs would get filthy - No lockers to lock items away so you're hoping nobody in your room steals from you - Timers on lights in bathrooms says they're 15 minutes but they actually turn off after 10 & one of the lights in the bathroom just stopped working - The smoke from people smoking weed/cigs outside of the entrance ended up coming into the room if you kept the window open.... - ....which you had to as there was no a/c, only a floor fan which was broken but semi functioning; alongside a ceiling fan which was also broken and non-functioning - Lack of plug sockets for half of the room, so I had to use my portable battery to charge my phone as there were no extension cables in the room
