Property has real potential as Reception Staff and the two young bartenders are friendly and courteous. It ends there though as the Bar Manager (can only assume he was the manager as he he was only one in a blazer) was rude and had horrible service skills on both experiences with him. After the second encounter on our last night we came to the conclusion we would never return to the hotel. The hotel itself is nice but the bad taste one rude staff can have on a trip shouldn’t be understated.

This is a first class hotel. Very nice if small rooms. The staff were very helpful. Dinning was very good. Parking was available and included Tesla electric car charging (one of two stations working). Located across the street from University and easy walking distance to major sites and museums.

We had a lovely stay at the Gonville. I marked it down slightly due to the room (classic double) being a bit snug, particularly in the bathroom. As the bathroom was so small, a sliding door would work better and could easily be fitted giving more space, it would also prevent the water damage at the bottom of the door, caused by the walk in shower overflowing under the door. The room was long but narrow making it difficult to walk past the bottom of the bed without banging your head on the wall mounted tv. The room was decorated very nicely and had a clean homely feel. One pet peeve at all hotels, is the sticker in the bathroom asking you to be eco friendly by re-using towels, and to leave them on rails if you don't want them changed. But, they still change them!

The location was great. the room was clean. The bathroom was tiny and I am not a big person 5ft 4 56 kilos. Staff were not friendly. The only bar was outside in September. We chose the hotel for parking and location but when we got there there were not parking spaces. We got a space the next day and were charged £26 for one night. We should have stayed in the multi storey which was cheaper. There were no VIP benefits

There was a lot of young unhelpful staff milling around the dining area/ coffee machine just chatting. There was no facility to check in early or even a place to go to have a conference call in relative peace and quiet. Although the place looks well polished in the photos this isn’t the reality as the place looked a bit tired in places
