10/10 Excellent
"Great stay. The location was convenient near the punting, the university, and the city center. The staff members were friendly, and the hotel was well equipped. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. We didn't have the breakfast, but the huge pain au chocolats looked good. Would recommend!"

"Convenient location 15 minutes outside of Cambridge, new hotel in a new neighbourhood. Great staff, very good facilities. One recommendation is to request the couch/sofa that converts to a bed, the other option is uncomfortable."

10/10 Excellent
"On our arrival all staff very warm & welcoming. All the staff we met reception, bar staff all seemed very happy in their jobs. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and in our room there was a card from the hotel and swans made out of towels with red petals on our bed and also some macaroons and chocolates on a slate plate. A lovely touch and much appreciated. Our room was very clean with all amenities that you need. The hotel offered a complimentary vintage car tour around Cambridge city that was amazing and our chauffeur Michael was very knowledgeable and fun. I will be doing a separate review for that. Would definitely return to the Gonville Hotel."
