The room was great for a one-night stay. Very comfortable. The only thing we found missing from our room was perhaps a little mini- bar/fridge. The air con unit was also a bit temperamental at times. It seemed to go from one extreme to the other.

Ideal location, friendly and informed staff. Relaxed atmosphere, good updated furnishings and good car parking facilities. Size of hotel (medium size) allows for a personal and welcoming atmosphere and offers a safe environment for those travelling alone. Also very suitable and pleasant in terms of an 'away break' for my husband who accompanied me on my business trip this time. Only problem was the use of fixed hangers in the wardrobes. They often fail to support heavier coats/jackets which subsequently cause problems with clothes falling on the floor of the wardrobe. Possibly this is a 'wear and tear' issue and common in most hotels who have fixed style coat hangers. Just a small thing but worth all hotels revising the use and quality of these hangers as one gets a bit fed-up with re-hanging clothes over and over again !!

I booked this hotel as a surprise for my husband as he had just returned home from being away. The location was spot on, 10 minute walk to the shops and a nice roll back from The pubs! Room nice and comfortable, clean fresh towels daily. Staff very helpful and polite. Breakfast expensive, however a nice cafe is just around the corner, which is cheap and has a wide range for breakfasts. Amazing curry house also round the corner called the ghandi. Overall a very nice stay, a little pricey, but then again it is in the middle of Cambridge city center x

I was delighted by this hotel and it is not often I can say that these days. Staff on the desk were delightful and caring, all other staff very good apart from grumpy breakfast ones! Lovely atmosphere, well maintained, quiet room, clean, comfortable. I have stayed at Best Westerns before and they do vary but I will be back to this one in January. Absolutely no complaints from this jaded weary solo female worker! Breakfast staff could have been more smiley and not touched the tines of the forks when laying the tables but apart from that small observation, nothing.

The food was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The room was the cleaner than all other hotel/motel rooms in which we have stayed this fall. The location can't be beat. Thank you for a great stay!

The hotel management completely ruined my friend's stay by putting him an annexe room which was damp and unheated. Although he did not have to pay, I was embarressed as I had made the booking. He was given the excuse that a late booking of four beds for the bbc meant he was re- allocated this annexe room. This is shameful as I booked five rooms over a month before our stay. The bbc crew should have been given the annexe room not him....oh, but no, that may have meant some bad press from reporters/staff/ a large public organisation. Otherwise the rest of the party had a pleasant stay.

The Gonville's location in Cambridge is a big plus. Also, I appreciated the fact that I could bring my dog, and that we could park for free. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was new and excellent.
