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 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!

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.

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 !!! ❤️❤️❤️

Central location on Parker's Piece giving good access to both the historical core of Cambridge and on outward to the surrounding areas, it was exceedingly peaceful at night also. The staff, despite being clearly very busy, were courteous and helpful at all times - superb. The hotel's main lobby has an old world villa feel, the classic Bentley motor cars at the main entrance are instant cause to pause and comment (my wife couldn't care less about cars and still insisted on a photo with them), then there's the inner garden area which feels like a bit of an oasis in a very busy and bustling city. Our room had amazing decor and great facilities - genuinely stunning. It might seem small but we appreciated the water and coffee after the long journey. The choice of multiple pillows was also welcomed - I prefer a harder pillow, my wife a softer one. Housekeeping were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Icing on the cake, something I've never experienced before at any hotel, was the opportunity to be taken for an hour in a 1953 Bentley, with a knowledgeable and charming host - thank you Zane! - that was really something special and different to the average hotel 'room to store humans in' experience. Brilliant. Staff at the outdoor bar were lovely too, great cocktails late on a Friday night.

We booked this hotel as it had the boutique attraction of high-quality themed rooms as we celebrated a special anniversary. On arrival, the two Classic Bentley cars give it the lure of luxury. Checking in at reception, Abi made us feel special right from the start, giving us an upgrade on our room so we can stay in Gresham House, separate from the hotel, with our own terrace that also had its own private garden. The room was so stylish , with a modern four-poster bed. Jack and Jill copper-plated ceramic sinks and a choice of shower or bath. There was an outside bar where we enjoyed many cocktails 2 Two-for-one 1 deals between 4 and 6pm went down rather well, too. Friday and Saturday evening, we had the pleasure of their Jazz band. The garden also offered many games, such as swing ball, Patonk, Jengo, and much more. We loved it and are looking forward to returning very soon. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful, pleasurable relaxing time.

The breakfast was very good and we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evenings. The hotel is ideally located to walk into the town centre and also visit the botanic gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
