Our new favourite place to stay in Cambridge. The staff were informative and great, they offered an exceptional service.

Not so great views and Wi-Fi was slow.

This was my pleasant stay at this wonderful hotel. The property was fairly clean, featured very modern design, I liked it. The location was easy, not too far from Conservation. Plenty of food at full English breakfast including toast, fresh fruit, pastries and eggs to order.

Its breakfast definitely has to be included in the price.

Convenient hotel located in a lovely area not far from excellent shopping with lots of independent shops to explore, the main centre, Cambridge. All the employees were brilliant and outstandingly accommodating. I liked their great toast and fruit for breakfast.

Everything was good, courteous staff, excellent views over the garden. We had the classic queen room which was contemporary and functional. The check-in was very quick, we really enjoyed atrium bar.

Nothing beats being in Gonville. Btw, their manager is top! The cordial atmosphere when you walk in. Besides, parking was available on-site. The Oak Bistro, where you can eat, is within short walking distance of the hotel.
