The Cambridge Oasis is a Student Luxe-branded collection of luxury serviced apartments in Cambridge, offering hotel-style amenities including a gym, an on-site bar, and a rooftop terrace. Unlike the purpose-built halls covered elsewhere on this site, it operates as a professionally managed, serviced rental on a request-only basis rather than a standard, per-room student hall with published academic-year pricing, and it sits at a considerably higher price point. This guide covers what it offers, the location, the honest picture, and who it suits.

The apartments and what to expect
The Cambridge Oasis studios are designed for modern city living, at around 27 square meters, with a comfortable king-size bed, a single sofa bed, and a sleek kitchen complete with a dishwasher, dining table, and quality cooking essentials. Additional features include in-unit laundry, air conditioning, blackout blinds, a smart TV, and fast Wi-Fi. Because Student Luxe operates on a professionally managed, tailored basis rather than standard hall-style bookings, availability and exact pricing are handled on a request-only basis, so you'll need to submit an inquiry to get a current, personalized quote rather than booking a fixed-price room online as you would with a typical PBSA hall.
Location and getting around
The Cambridge Oasis offers easy access to the University of Cambridge and the city center via public transport, at around 20 and 25 minutes, respectively, positioning it in a quieter, more residential setting than the immediate city center. This trade-off, a short commute in exchange for a calmer, more spacious environment, is presented by the operator as a deliberate feature rather than a drawback, aimed at students who want a serene base to relax and focus. My tip: if you're drawn to the luxury specification and hotel-style service, it's worth weighing the 20 to 25-minute commute against more centrally located, though less lavish, purpose-built halls that put you within walking distance of lectures.

The honest picture
The Cambridge Oasis's genuine strength is a hotel-standard specification with real luxury amenities, including a gym, bar, and rooftop terrace, professionally managed and serviced to a high standard. The honest counterpoint: this comes at a significantly higher price than typical purpose-built student accommodation, with luxury serviced apartments from this operator starting around £570 per week, considerably above the £200-£300 per week range typical of Cambridge's standard student halls, and the 20 to 25-minute commute to the University of Cambridge means it's not a walk-to-lectures option. As always, submit a request for current, personalized pricing before assuming a specific rate.
Who SL-The Cambridge Oasis suits
Strong fit: students with a higher budget who want hotel-standard luxury and full service over standard student-hall amenities; those who prioritize a quiet, spacious environment and don't mind a 20 to 25-minute commute; international students used to serviced, high-end living.
Weaker fit: students on a typical student budget, since pricing sits well above standard PBSA rates; those who want to walk to lectures rather than commute by public transport.
