We had a lovely short stay at the Gonville. The rooms were clean, well provisioned and had a good size for a couple. The location of the hotel couldn’t be more perfect for getting around central Cambridge! Breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the bar very much. The only snag we had was our shower wouldn’t go warm, but the hotel team were quick to assure they would get that fixed straight away! A very lovely service and stay, we would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Comfy and great location

Comfy, lovely hotel within a short walk from the centre, facing park area. Pros: Excellent breakfast and reception service. Gorgeous scented toiletries and very comfy bed. Great gardens for a sundowner. Car parking 2 min walk away (no charge from 6pm - 8am). Cons: Bar closed early at 23:00, in fact as soon as we walked in! Walls could do with a bit of soundproofing (could hear guests speaking next door although not too intrusive, I always bring ear plugs to hotels anyway). Milk and coffee sachets missing from refreshments so a keener eye for detail needed.

Complimentary drink

Check in for our one night stay was very quick and efficient and the receptionist kindly offered us some free drinks from the bar as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We accepted these and took them later after we had eaten dinner. We would have stayed longer in the bar had it not shut disappointingly early at around 11pm. The service was good though. The room was very clean and comfortable and at a nice temperature - although the air con was rather noisy - and the bathroom clean but with a disappointingly lukewarm shower. Parking is a bit expensive and the car park tight to get out of if near capacity and you have to park at the back. Overall though, a lovely hotel in a good location that I would recommend and use again. Oh, and the Full Gonville breakfast is excellent!
