Beautiful old building which once housed the Fellows of Gonville and Caius College. It exudes old fashioned class from the outside with modern bright interior. I loved the glass lift. A nice touch. The garden to the side of the hotel is such a great bonus for a hotel so close to the centre of Cambridge. All the tourist spots and shopping and The Fitzwilliam Museum are within walking distance even for the not so able bodied (I have MS). The room was luxurious - I was very kindly upgraded by the hotel to a luxury twin room. I received a very warm and friendly welcome from Jessie on reception and she made everything clear to me re breakfast etc… I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for ambience, friendliness, cleanliness and comfort (the beds are very comfortable). I was fortunate enough to get a free ride in the hotels Bentley with Zane. It was a treat I shall NEVER forget. Thank you Gonville Hotel and staff.

This hotel is a solid choice in Cambridge in terms of value/location. It's about a 10 minute walk to the city center, and there are good restaurants all around within a 5 minute walk. The staff are very accommodating and professional and the rooms comfortable and quiet.

The hotel was in a great location. We travelled by train and it was a short walk to the hotel. We arrived in the morning and, after speaking to the receptionist, left our bags in storage whilst we went exploring Cambridge. It is only a short walk into the city. Or if it's a nice day you can use one of the hotels bikes. Even better book a tour in their vintage Bently. Unfortunately, the driver was on his day off, so we couldn't book this. When we arrived back to check in, our case had already been taken to our room. I was very impressed with the size of the room and the decor. The bed was very comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. We didn't eat at the hotel but did use the bar. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We would both highly recommend Gonville, and if we return to Cambridge, we wouldn't hesitate to stay again..

Our room was spacious and extremely well equipped and stocked with fresh litre bottle of spring water and biscuits to compliment the coffee machine and selections of teas provided daily. The bed was brilliant and provided us with a comfortable and good night's sleep. Breakfast was leisurely and individually prepared and served to your table. Of all the attentive and wonderful staff, Receptionist Abi and hotel Bentley Chauffeur Zane deserve special mention, both exemplary ambassadors for the Gonville Hotel.

The location was great and it had Tesla charging which was the main reason I chose this hotel. It smelt absolutely gorgeous and the reception staff were fab

Everything about the Gonville was exceptional. The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was out of this world, and the room was large, very clean, and comfortable. They even offer a choice of pillows and have hair conditioner along with soap and shampoo! They have bicycles available to borrow for the day so we took advantage and toured the area. We also took a guided tour of Cambridge from the backseat of a vintage Bentley - a unique offering to hotel guests. The location is a short walk from the train station and Uber is also available. We had a wonderful stay at the Gonville and would highly recommend it.

The room was spacious and so beautifully decorated, as were all areas of Gresham House, and the hotel in general. The bathroom was luxurious and the bed so comfy - especially with the pillows we requested from the pillow menu (a first for us!). We loved having a coffee machine in the room. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. We borrowed the lovely hotel bikes to cycle to Granchester for lunch one day - highly recommended. We had booked the weekend at the Gonville to celebrate a special occasion and it certainly did all feel really special. An excellent massage by Jasmine in the spa allowed my husband to really relax after work and so enjoy the weekend even more!

Oooo where do I start from? The moment i got there, I was welcomed in with open arms, and the staff was really nice and friendly. I'm obsessed with the hotel. There's a gurl who spoke to me when signing in. Think her name was "Jessie" she was amazing she was kindhearted, and I really hopped to have seen her when I left, but aside from that, I just had the most amazing time there. Felt like home 🏡 hopefully next time I visit GONVILLE HOTEL. I will make the most of it there, which will be around the corner. 5 starr if u ask me !!! ❤️❤️❤️
