We only stayed one night here and chose it for the Location close to the centre of Cambridge and the fact that it had onsite Free Parking. Like other Best westerns that we had stayed at, the rooms were very large, clean and fairly basic/standard with the facilities provided and pretty much what we expected from the reviews and hotels... more

Check-in was OK, meal times and check-out times were clearly explained, but the receptionist forgot to offer a morning newspaper. My single room was small but practical, with trouser press but no iron (women don’t travel on business!), hair dryer, mini safe, tiny bathroom with both shower and bath, tea/coffee. Minimal toiletries, no bathrobe, no minibar. Tiny TV (about 14... more

The room was quiet, clean had tea/coffee... more

A colleague and I stayed at the Best Western Gonville for one night prior to a meeting in nearby Fulbourn. A search of Cambridge hotels confirms that it’s an expensive city to stay in, so if you’re on a limited budget and want a central location, the Gonville is one of the few options available. However, the Gonville can’t be... more

This hotel is situated slap bang in the Centre of Cambridge on the edge of the greenspace of Parkers Piece. On arrival we were received a truly wonderful welcome from the receptionist. The first imrpessions of the hotel were positive but whilst our room was extremely spacious, decorated and furnished to a good standard, we found the following:- The mattress... more

Anyone traveling to Cambridge should avoid this hotel. The staff are no older than 20 years old, the service is disgraceful and they charge a bomb for parking and for a simple map of the town. The manager was unfriendly, the decor was cheap and the rooms smelly. I will never go back. the location is central and that is... more

RwRoddie, Manager

I was more than slightly suprised to read this review as clealy there must be some misunderstanding as we do not charge for Car Parking at all. To describe the hotel as Smelly with Cheap decor also came as a surpise as certainly i along with many guests do not agree.

We stayed for one night, had two rooms. Our group of 4 included my mother and two teenaged girls. One room had a/c, the other (directly across the hall) had none, just a small fan. Felt like we were staying in an old age home. Lovely young lady at front desk had some difficulty with English, could answer our questions... more

Having read previous reviews I was apprehensive but pleasantly surprised after now staying there. The hotel is clean and tidy and our room, ( at the front overlooking the park) , was spacious and the bed was really comfy. The bathroom was compact but had everything one needs in it! The staff are largely eastern european but really friendly, helpful... more

The hotel is located about 10 minutes walk from the city centre. It is a basic hotel with no character. The reception employees are friendly but the restaurant staff on the other hand is surly. The room is very small and tired looking.. The room is the equivalent of a motel in Australia, no frills and basic. Definitely not value... more

Stayed here for two nights as we were attending a family wedding at nearby Anstey Hall. Reception staff were very helpful and changed our room from a front room to a room at the rear. The front rooms overlook the road and I suspect could be very noisy. The room wasn't a bad size and was very clean with tea... more
