The Gonville Hotel Cambridge
The Gonville is a beautiful hotel. Centrally located in Cambridge, it has a mixture of elegance and style. The rooms are very unique and brings back that feel of what UK hotels are renowned for. Lastly and more important I would like to say thank you to all the staff, immaculately dressed, polite and professional.

great service and welcome
Wonderfully welcome from the first moment we arrived, which continued throughout the rest of our stay. I chose this hotel as it was less corporate and from a small chain of hotels that I know provide a quality approach to all details ( which they did).

Best hotel I've stayed in by far
We had a wonderful stay, it was our anniversary and they made swans out of the towels, put rose petals on the bed and left us some delicious macarons and an anniversary card, it was so thoughtful. The room was beautifully decorated and the bed was so comfortable! We had breakfast served in our room too, which was a real treat.

Beautiful hotel. Lovely touches such as hot chocolate in reception available with marshmallows, such a treat. Bar area great with lovely band playing in the evening. Stayed with friends and booked under one reservation but was disappointed when our rooms were on different levels. There is no spa facilities which is confusing from photos of website.

Couples Trip - Ok
The hotel itself is lovely and the staff all very helpful/friendly. £225 a night I think is steep, you have to pay for parking and our room was on the smaller side and stuffy. No window as on ground floor, but had a door which led to the car park for obvious reasons couldn’t leave that open. Bathroom small and you couldn’t turn the towel rail off so was boiling. The shower hose kept disconnecting from the shower head, but was a fully booked hotel and 11pm so didn’t bother saying anything as we wanted to go to bed! A shame as I had high hopes, but the hotel itself is lovely i just don’t think it’s worth that sort of money.

Lovely hotel in a good location the rooms are really nice, the only down side is that the breakfast service was really slow, the breakfast itself was lovely but it took ages before they took our order we waited a really long time even to get a cup of tea, also couldn't get in the car park and had trouble getting into the other car park they suggest you use.
