Two night stay
Everyone has been very pleasant and helpful however I was very disappointed when we tried to eat in on Saturday evening. We were never told we had to book a table nor were we informed there would be an event that evening allowing food only to be served in the bar area. We were eventually accommodated with another table being set up. However the bar was busy and it was surprising that all the coats of the event guests were hung in the bar area which certainly detracted from the ambience. I would have thought they should have been placed in an area actually rented by the wedding party.

The staff really make this hotel
We stay here while visiting family living nearby. The location is great near to family and walking distance to city centre. We love the shops and restaurants in the centre and the hotel restaurant is great as well with good views onto Parkers Piece. The room was very comfortable but there were some stains on the carpet and a little mould on the bathroom ceiling. Whenever we stay at this hotel we have always found the staff to be excellent; friendly, polite and helpful - will obviously stay here again.

A very disappointing experience
The glass sliding door to our shower room had come off its bottom runner and was swinging dangerously when we arrived. The service and quality of food in the restaurant on Sunday evening was dreadful apparently due to staffing problem in the kitchen. There were several mistakes in our bill when we checked out. We had been charged for breakfasts we did not have. The meal bill has been charged twice to our acccount and we are told that this should be sorted out in a few days!

Overnight stay
Nice hotel. Central position. Rather short of staff on reception. Nice touch two free drinks. Would be nice to book parking in advance. Small room but nicely done

6/10 Good

Hotel lacks personality, decor bland modern, lighting harsh as an airport even in bar and dining room, no atmosphere at all. Bar food not good. Accessible bedroom excellent- well thought out with lots of walkable space, very comfortable king size bed. Reception staff helpful, bar and waiting staff would benefit from more training. Hotel position excellent- pity all character has been removed.

Stayed for the night for my Boyfriends birthday and we were both really surprised with how nice it was, beautiful hotel and really friendly staff. We had a more basic room but it was still perfect for what we needed.

8/10 Very Good

We had a lovely stay at the Gonville. I marked it down slightly due to the room (classic double) being a bit snug, particularly in the bathroom. As the bathroom was so small, a sliding door would work better and could easily be fitted giving more space, it would also prevent the water damage at the bottom of the door, caused by the walk in shower overflowing under the door. The room was long but narrow making it difficult to walk past the bottom of the bed without banging your head on the wall mounted tv. The room was decorated very nicely and had a clean homely feel. One pet peeve at all hotels, is the sticker in the bathroom asking you to be eco friendly by re-using towels, and to leave them on rails if you don't want them changed. But, they still change them!

There was a lot of young unhelpful staff milling around the dining area/ coffee machine just chatting. There was no facility to check in early or even a place to go to have a conference call in relative peace and quiet. Although the place looks well polished in the photos this isn’t the reality as the place looked a bit tired in places

8/10 Very Good

Lovely hotel within walking distance to City. Very close to the station too. Hotel is well kept and the people working on there are very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, good air conditioning. But, the hot water supply was unacceptable. Wanted a shower before going out in the evening. No hot water. When raised was told ‘old hotel and pipes’ which is very quaint. But not what you’d expect from a £140 a night. No hot water on demand isn’t on for any reason. Had to run the bath taps and the sink taps for ten minutes to get any chance of hot water. Which is wasteful. Especially when you see a notice to save water by reusing your towels ! Dear Gonville owners. You need to get the absolute minimum basics right if you’re charging good money. It was just a real shame and definitely deflated the quality of the weekend away. Staff were very friendly throughout and it’s obvious they’ve had to deal with this issue before.
