The rooms are fine. Simple and comfortable. Big beds and clean shower. We were rudely greeted when we arrived and were given a disabled twin room on the ground floor that smelt of damp and was very dark. We complained and then got a double room (what we paid for!) on the 1st floor looking out on the carpark! People could also easily see into the room so not much privacy. The hotel is dull, lacks any charm and 100% not work the £162 I paid!

If you are looking for a hotel where the rooms are spacious, is very centrally located, offers free parking (many hotels in Cambridge do not offer any parking or of those that do they charge up to £20 a day), free wifi and where the staff are really friendly, then this is the place for you. Breakfast very poor and quite a rip off at £13. Rooms were standard like a travel lodge but for 4 times the money in this particular instance. Areas of the hotel are pretty uninspiring and dated. Unfortunately Cambridge does not have many hotels as it is a pretty small place, so all the hotels are not that competitive in the things that they offer or in the prices they charge.

It had everything I needed without having to ask. Service was sometimes a bit slow but we did arrive quite late so may be understandable.

Clean, comfortable and convenient for the town centre. Very friendly and helpful staff, breakfast was excellent. Room clean and comfortable with a superb view over Parkers Park. !0 minute walk from railway station but has a large free carpark if you need it. (Most hotels in the city were charging residents up to £16 per night to park). We have stayed at other Best Western hotels and we are very pleased with the standards and the prices that this chain has to offer. Looking forward to our next visit. Nope.... Cannot find any fault sorry.

It appears to be newly refurbished, new carpets and new pristine shower ensuites and a modern glass lift. We booked a double room and a twin room. Both were of appropriate size, the twin being more spacious. The ensuites were wet room style with large shower, toilet, sink configurations. Breakfast was buffet cold selection and cooked to order hot selection. I would recommend it - Cambridge centre Hotels are compatible to London prices but this was much better condition and therefore value than any I have stayed at in London for the same star rating and price.

Being a Cambridge person my wife and I were quite impressed with this hotel. The room we had was large and the bed was huge. Clean with a nice bathroom and shower, Stayed for three nights with breakfast which I found the breakfast cost a little high, but on holiday who cares.Good selection menu.Breakfast room was immaculate with tables covered with two bright white table cloths and nice cutlery Another bonus was the car park which was FREE. .So an overall score out of 10 I like to say 9 Perhaps in the summer when it is sometimes hot. No mini fridge in room.

Extremely convenient and comfortable. Having a car parking spot under a tree and then finding my car was totally covered by bird droppings the following morning. This must happen to every visitor that parks in that spot so why is it retained?

Food good and service in restaurant excellent. Room cleanliness very good. Had to change rooms as the first provided had inadequate clothes-storage provision (said to be satisfactory for 1 night stays!) Alternative room provided was very satisfactory. We were investigating the possibility of bringing a Rotary Club to Cambridge for a weekend.(needing about 30 rooms)

We stayed at the Best Western Gonville hotel for a weekend break. The hotel was easy to find and parking was free! The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is light an bright and looks to have been revently renovated. Everywhere is modern with odd hint of old features. The hotel was light, bright and very clean. Our room also had been recently renovated, modern decor, a huge very comy bed, LCD tv, and a very nice modern bathroom with an amazing shower! We had a wonderful stay, I couldn't fault the hotel!

The room was very cold and the heating system was extremely slow to respond .....one and a half hours to two hours ..... and then only after an under-manager came and gave a 'cock-and-bull' explanation which to someone who taught heat transfer did not make sense! His answer to the problem was to turn the thermostat up from 25degrees C to 30 degrees C and the temperature was well below 20 C in the room with the heating duct blowing cold air! His attitude was "You haven't given it enough time!" 90+ minutes!!!!????? On a freezing cold day, one would expect the room to be warm on entering!
