*8.5* Cambridge Arts Picture House: only 6 minutes away! (500 yards on foot)
Free upgrade was a pleasant surprise. Room was beautiful and the breakfast was good.
United KingdomNice room. Friendly staff. Good cocktails. Brilliant breakfast.
United KingdomWe had booked as we were watching a show at the Cambridge Exchange. Everything exceeded our expectations throughout our stay. Comfortable bedroom & lovely food but best of all were the staff. We booked a tour of Cambridge in one of the two Bentleys, driven by Elliott & included in the hotel cost. Not to be missed & very informative. We'll definitely stay again.
United KingdomA few weeks prior to arrival I emailed to let the hotel know that there was a special occasion behind the reasoning of the trip. When we arrived at the hotel we where greeted lovely. Our room was lovely, comfortable and so clean and we even had a bottle of Prosecco and a card of the team! My boyfriend was impressed with the tv, where you could access YouTube and Netflix free of charge. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have stayed in, and we travel a lot. Breakfast in the morning was all fresh and the waiters and waitresses where all very attentive and smiley. We can’t wait to come back! 😆
United KingdomIt was really lovely to stay in Gonville again, and see staff who worked there 2 years ago are still working there. It was lovely to walk into the room and see complimentary chocolates as it was Valentines. The complimentary ride in Bentley was really nice and worth doing even when we were sceptical about it at first. Must say Eliot was really lovely and knowledgeable about Cambridge! Highly recommend 🙂
United KingdomThe bed was wonderfully comfortable! Lovely looking room and we were upgraded on our arrival which was a bonus. The breakfast were excellent, though the Atrium restaurant was a bit lacking in atmosphere for our evening meal.
United KingdomBeautiful rooms, very professional team, attention to detail was second to none
United KingdomExcellent location, very good front of house staff and food very good.
United KingdomDidn't partake in breakfast at the hotel as thought too expensive for what we would require so can make no comment. However, we did eat in the restaurant on our second night and it was delicious and reasonably priced. A special mention must go to the friendly Bartender Joel, who always served us with courtesy and a smile. Our room in the annex was lovely, spacious and quiet.
United KingdomGood position, lovely room and excellent staff. We even got taken for a free tour of Cambridge in a vintage Bentley!!
