You can do this:

private String cellToString(HSSFCell cell) {
    CellType type;
    Object result;
    type = cell.getCellType();

    switch (type) {
        case NUMERIC :  //numeric value in excel
            result = cell.getNumericCellValue();
            break;
        case STRING : //String Value in Excel
            result = cell.getStringCellValue();
            break;
        default :
            throw new RuntimeException("There is no support for this type of value in Apche POI");
    }
    return result.toString();
}
