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.

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.

Really had a great time to stay at Gonville hotel. Very easy to find the hotel after came down from M11. Check in was very quick and smooth, room is clean. I would specifically like to mention that hotel kept good communication with guests, I requested two beds, with a quiet room, all have been arranged no problem at all. Parking spaces are limited, but we arrived at 3pm where there were still 4/5 available. A big green space in front of the hotel, I walked my dog there. Absolutely a delightful experience.

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 :-)
