Hotel The Gonville Hotel

Gonville Place, Cambridge, CB1 1LY, United Kingdom –

*8.5* Cambridge Arts Picture House: only 6 minutes away! (500 yards on foot)

Lock in a great price for The Gonville Hotel - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

Nicely modernised hotel, good design everywhere, excellent food (breakfast twice, dinner once), but perhaps best of all were the staff, every one of whom was unfailingly friendly as well as efficient. The position on Parker’s Piece and only a short stroll from the town centre and most colleges, was excellent. We had the opportunity to use the “Gonville Bentley”, a fabulous 1960 vintage car, and this was a real treat. We also used the (free) Gonville Hotel bikes to get around town.
