Would definitely stay again- however would be good if guest could control the AC and having one person at the front desk made wait times long for check in and other needs.

Lafane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely stay

6/10 Okay

Tiny double room, with little space between foot of bed and wall. Tiny bathroom. Wardrobe shallow and only short hanging space. Worst feature was broken air conditioning on a warm humid night. Lift also broken but fortunately we didn’t have heavy luggage. Beware if booking through Expedia that breakfast isn’t included.

Ross, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Moderately upscale, only complaint is lack of shower. Only tub and hand held wand. And if only there was a place in the UK or Europe that had wash cloths. Pluses = location, breakfast.
Douglas C., 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a lovely short stay at the Gonville. The rooms were clean, well provisioned and had a good size for a couple. The location of the hotel couldn’t be more perfect for getting around central Cambridge! Breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the bar very much. The only snag we had was our shower wouldn’t go warm, but the hotel team were quick to assure they would get that fixed straight away! A very lovely service and stay, we would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful hotel in a lovely setting!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Warm welcome and speedy check in. The room was small and the bathroom tiny. Poor lighting made the room dark and the dark wardrobe without a functioning light in it made it difficult to locate anything in it. There was no ironing board or iron but the steamer worked well. Disappointingly there was no coffee machine. The toiletries smelt lovely as did the hotel upon entry. Breakfast had good choices but unfortunately my cooked breakfast was missing an item. Pleasant stay despite a few small niggles would absolute recommend staying here for the location and the excellent staff.
Narinder, 1-night trip
