Luxury Station Apartment is a serviced apartment near Cambridge's railway station, booked mainly through hotel and short-stay platforms rather than as student accommodation. Unlike the purpose-built halls covered elsewhere on this site, it operates on a nightly rate rather than an academic-year tenancy, which makes it a genuinely different kind of option worth understanding before you consider it. This guide covers what it actually offers, the location, the honest picture, and who it suits.

The apartment and what to expect
Luxury Station Apartment is marketed and booked as a serviced apartment, with guest reviews and listings describing it in hotel terms, including free Wi-Fi and outdoor pool access on some booking platforms. Because it operates on a nightly rate rather than a standard weekly student rent, exact room configurations, included extras, and whether any longer-stay discount is available should be confirmed directly with the booking platform or provider, since this isn't a standardized, per-room student product with published academic-year pricing.
Location and getting around
Luxury Station Apartment sits about a mile from Cambridge city center, roughly an 11-minute walk from the train station, and around 3 miles from Cambridge City Airport, with car, bus, and bike access all straightforward. Its proximity to the station makes it a genuinely convenient base for short visits, whether that's exploring the city, attending an open day, or bridging a gap before a longer-term let is arranged. My tip: given the hotel-style booking model, this is best treated as a short-stay option rather than your default choice for a full academic year, so weigh it against dedicated student halls if you need accommodation for a full term or year.
Amenities
- Free Wi-Fi
- Outdoor pool access (on some listings)

The honest picture
The genuine strength of Luxury Station Apartment is its convenient, near-station location for short stays, with hotel-style flexibility and no long-term commitment required. The honest counterpoint: it is not purpose-built student accommodation, doesn't appear on major student housing platforms with standardized term-time pricing, and doesn't offer the academic-year tenancy structure or student support services that dedicated halls provide, so it's not a direct substitute for a term-time student let. As always, check current nightly rates and booking terms directly on the platform you're using.
Who Luxury Station Apartment Cambridge suit?
Strong fit: students or families visiting Cambridge for a short trip, such as an open day, graduation, or interview; those who need a few nights' accommodation near the station while arranging a longer-term let.
Weaker fit: students looking for a standard academic-year tenancy with per-week student-hall pricing and support services.
