Lovely hotel within walking distance to City. Very close to the station too. Hotel is well kept and the people working on there are very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, good air conditioning. But, the hot water supply was unacceptable. Wanted a shower before going out in the evening. No hot water. When raised was told ‘old hotel and pipes’ which is very quaint. But not what you’d expect from a £140 a night. No hot water on demand isn’t on for any reason. Had to run the bath taps and the sink taps for ten minutes to get any chance of hot water. Which is wasteful. Especially when you see a notice to save water by reusing your towels ! Dear Gonville owners. You need to get the absolute minimum basics right if you’re charging good money. It was just a real shame and definitely deflated the quality of the weekend away. Staff were very friendly throughout and it’s obvious they’ve had to deal with this issue before.

Good hotel but could be great! Check in was fantastic and the room lovely, hotel in general is very nice and the bed was sooooo comfortable. However bar staff and waiting staff at breakfast where inadequately trained and didn’t appear to be managed which was a shame as the rest of the team were on the whole very efficient.. Room lacked glasses for water and paint had been rubbed off the wardrobe, one of the light switches didn’t work properly and the skirting by the shower was poorly repaired due to water damage. I’d still recommend this hotel, great location the bed was so comfortable and all of the above are easily fixed

Would book here again. Although our stay this time wasnt 100%. We was in room 4 (possibly an accessibility room as booked last min?) Carpet was stained under table. Could hear Room 3’s T.V. Fire alarm was going off Sunday morning at 9:30am. I was awake anyway. Breakfast took a while. I could sense from other customers they had waited a while too. But…. Hotel is in a great location. On site parking (tight) Easy check in and helpful staff.

The rooms are nice. However the bar area was being refurbished and so there was nowhere for us to go with our dog except the outside bar that had been put up as an alternative. This was untidy and not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. The menu was limited with small portions and not value for money. Had we been told about the bar refurbishment when we booked we would have looked elsewhere. Also £26 per night for parking and £25 per night for the dog was rather excessive! We have stayed at this hotel before but the current owners are not doing it justice.

Great staff and lovely hotel
The staff here are super helpful and friendly. When we checked in the lady walked us to the room and showed us around. The room was nicely decorated and the bathroom was huge. Breakfast was fantastic - basically a full restaurant service alongside your typical buffer. The garden bar area is really nice and the quiet garden around the back is peaceful. Good location too - opposite a huge open park, and about 15 minutes walk to the Market Hill in the centre of the town.

We Love this hotel great service great staff well trained. The only reason for the less than excellent is, the rooms were so dark and I mean not enough lighting. It was impossible to read. It may have to do with the energy conservation, and I admire that. But not being able to read in the room is a negative.
