10/10 Exceptional

Pretty and comfortable hotel in a privileged location with the added benefit of parking. We greatly appreciated being able to leave the car at the hotel and walk into Cambridge town centre. The highlight though has to be the vintage Bentley tour which we just loved.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place and really convenient for access to Cambridge. The staff there are so passionate about what they do and the services provided. We were back in time for the jazz in the evening, very nice.
Jack, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were really lovely and the location is great. The rooms are however very small with basically no where to hang your clothes - the tiny cupboard had the kettle with the cups on a tray and a random fan. Breakfast, was also disappointing.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room 3 is on the ground floor. The window is out onto the carpark. It is close to the bar and restaurant. It means there is noise of music and plates. It feels hemmed in and lacking in privacy, it’s a shame in an otherwise beautiful hotel.
Sara-Jane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice boutique type hotel.

Rhian, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We asked for a quiet, twin room and got neither, despite the hotel only being about half full. We even reiterated this request at check in but were clearly ignored. We expected better from the Gonville
Andre, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I just love to stay at Gonville every time I’m in Cambridge! The room is nice and bed is very comfortable and the dining is delicious. But I have to say that the Staff makes the difference!
Yvonne, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful room, absolutely spot on location, welcoming arrival, delicious breakfast and very helpful staff. The bar needs to sort itself out. Saturday night and cocktails stopped at 10:45, nowhere near enough staff when busy, hearing complaints from others about not being able to get a coffee. Overall, can't wait to come back :-)
