My wife and I stayed at the Gonville for one night when we stayed in Cambridge in order to break a journey from the south to our home in the north of England. The hotel was conveniently situated about ten to fifteen minutes walk from the centre of Cambridge. There was ample free on-site parking. We spent a pleasant afternoon... more

I've previously stayed at Doubletree which is good but charges swingeing sums for parking. Gonville is more basic but we had clean, comfortable and spacious room, plus free parking and free wifi. Staff v. friendly too. I think this is as good as you can get at this price. Did not sample breakfast or other meals. more

We have just returned from a two night weekend break at the Gonville hotel. The free spacious car park is a bonus as other city centre hotel seem to have costly parking fees. The location is ideal, just a five minute walk to the main shopping area and restaurants can be found on the walk to the centre - adjacent... more

The only plus of this hotel is its location in the very city center of Cambridge. But the rooms are dark, the staff is not very nice and the breakfast is not the best in the world. But you can even reach railway station on foot. The corridors are very narrow and even the beauty of the buildng itself can'... more

This Hotel is a great place to stay as it is in the heart of the city and opposite to parkers piece. Its close to the mill road which has so many restaurants like Italian,Indian,Turkish, Mediterranean,Chinese, Korean, and Algerian food. Parking is free where as in other hotels parking may be more than $35. Cambridge University is close by, City... more

The hotel was DIRTY - 12 cigarette ends within 2 feet (60 cm) of the front door IN VARYING STAGES OF DECAY. I don't think the shirt of the man I saw working outside (but not brushing up the cigarette ends) had seen the inside of a washing machine for some weeks. Front door mat thick with grit. Dead leaves... more

Having just slated the Best Western in Oxford, this one deseves praise. Very efficient staff. Lovely modern bedroom with climate control & a modern bathroom. The breakfast buffet items were very good but the quality of the full English breakfast was poor. Shame! It let the rest of the place down. Pricey but probably average for Cambridge. more

I found the Gonville Hotel to be a very comfortable and clean hotel, conveniently located close to Cambridge city centre, and with the added bonus of ample car parking, which is a vital factor in Cambridge. The only niggle was traffic noise from the main road, but the hotel management can do nothing about that. The hotel staff were polite... more
