I recently spent two nights in Cambridge with my daughter, we took the car in order to pick up my son's things following the end of his first year at university. We spent Saturday night at the Gonville Hotel and Sunday night at the Cambridge City hotel in twin rooms. I paid about £150 inc breakfast and parking at the... More

I have just returned from a two night stay with my husband at the Gonville Hotel, Cambridge. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom large. The fittings looked new. The hotel is opposite Parker's Piece and is a short walk from the centre of town. Breakfast at the hotel is plentiful. The only downside was... More

Arrived with a group. Trip had been booked a long time in advance. I was somewhat concerned when our organizer was asked to find out what we would be ordering to eat for the two days we were there,this was about 48 hours before we left home. Not possible. A compromise was that we would list what we wanted on... More

The bedroom was huge and had been refurbished but there was no wardrobe and no drawers. There was just a rail which was attached to the wall and was so close that your clothes got squashed together Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. They did provide gluten free bread and we got quite excited when gluten free sausages were also offered.... More

the hotel is well situated and has a private parking (which was full however upon arrival and not only with hotel guests....).Staff is ambivalent: some are very friendly and helpfull, others aren't. Rooms and bathroom are spacious enough, clean and well equiped; insulation is OK. Breakfast offers a variety of options (I had very nice kippers) but when there's a... More

I was pleasantly surprised when I stayed at the Gonville Hotel this time and things seem to have been much improved since my last stay; when it seemed old fashioned and somewhat eccentric. The rooms have been modernised and the bathroom particularly spacious and well stocked. The location is close to the station and the staff very friendly and willing... More

I hadn't stayed here for a couple of years. Since then the hotel has had a facelift and the rooms improved. My room was comfortable and well furnished, if on the small side. More space for clothes would have been welcome but it was good enough for one person for four nights. I was impressed by the large comfortable bed... More

Quick overnight business stay - great location with FREE parking (a real bonus in central Cambridge). Lovely reception staff followed by excellent customer service in restaurant and when checking out. Room cosy and well decorated but rather small - as 229 is 'doglegged', no way to see TV from either armchair or desk. Quiet with little road noise. Would have... More

Staff were helpful and friendly. Prices were high for the room and meals , but that's because of where it is. Breakfast and service was excellent. On the first evening we ordered duck on a bed of spinach. The duck was a bit chewy so we sent one plate of it back, and this was replaced with another dish. Apart... More
