The rooms and prices
Brunswick House offers a genuinely wide room ladder, from Classic 3, 4, 5, and 6 Bed En-Suites through to Large and Premium En-Suites, and a full studio range from Studio and Studio Plus up to Premium and Deluxe Studios. En-suite rooms come with a comfy bed, dedicated desk and chair, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a private en-suite shower room, with flatmates sharing a communal kitchen and living area, while studios add a personal kitchen area for full independence. The kitchen areas include a freezer, cooker, and microwave. Rent is all-inclusive, and subletting is not permitted. Guide prices for 2026/27 run from around £225 to £349 per week depending on room type and booking date, so confirm current rates and availability at booking, since rents are fixed for your contract length but reviewed annually.
Location and getting around
Brunswick House sits on Newmarket Road, a genuinely central location with bus stops just 2 minutes away offering frequent routes throughout the city, including to the city center and other university campuses. Cambridge Railway Station is about a 10-minute bus ride or a 20-minute walk, connecting to regional and national rail services, and the vibrant city center itself is a 10-minute walk. Addenbrooke's Hospital is around a 15-minute bus ride for healthcare needs, and local Citi 1 and Citi 3 bus routes are frequently used by students for commuting, with Cambridge North Station also accessible in around 15 minutes by bus. My tip: Because 'University of Cambridge' isn't a single campus but dozens of colleges and departments spread across the city, booking platforms quote noticeably different walking and cycling times, from around a 6-minute cycle to a 25-minute walk, so check the time to your own specific college or department rather than relying on any single headline figure.

The honest picture
Brunswick House's strengths are a genuinely central Newmarket Road location, a short walk or cycle from both Anglia Ruskin University and the historic university city center, a wide room ladder to suit different budgets, and independent award recognition from Must Stay and StudentCrowd. The honest counterpoint: it's a weaker fit for students who want a fully self-contained studio at the lowest advertised price, since the cheapest rooms are shared en-suite clusters rather than independent studios, and given the wide range of distance estimates to "the University of Cambridge" across different listing sites, it's worth checking the walking time to your specific department or college rather than trusting the headline figure from any one source. As always, confirm your specific room type and current price before booking.
Who Brunswick House Cambridge suits:
Strong fit: students who want a wide choice of room types and budgets under one roof; those who value a genuinely central Newmarket Road location close to Anglia Ruskin University; and students who want an award-recognized, well-reviewed hall.
Weaker fit: students who want a fully self-contained studio at the cheapest advertised price point, since budget rooms are shared en-suite clusters; those whose specific Cambridge college or department is on the far side of the city from Newmarket Road.
