Wonderful hotel in the heart of historic Cambridge. Walking distance to the old Colleges and the city centre, but also in an area that is quiet. It feels like you have got away from it all. Amazing room with a fabulous bathroom. Nice and spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast and dinner options were very good and the food was lovely. A smashing place.

We had a room in the annex. There was no offer of helping with baggage Whilst the room was clean and the facilities adequate the air conditioning was fixed at a level which was too hot and problematic to change. We found the pillows to be uncomfortable with no alternatives in the room. Consequently a poor nights sleep. In the morning we had breakfast which was prepaid. The choices were limited on the buffet and the cooked vegetarian breakfast was sparse ie one egg, half a mushroom, one sausage, half a tomato and a small punnet of baked beans. The hotel is well located and has a good car park. Overall I felt not worth the money and disappointing.

We enjoyed our stay - there was great bed and lovely sheets but our carpet was very stained and there was a disposable plastic glove covering the smoke detector.

I booked for my parents to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary. I chose the Gonville because the staff are well-trained and I knew they would receive excellent service. They had an absolutely wonderful stay and I would like to thank the whole team for making their stay so special.
