Moderately upscale, only complaint is lack of shower. Only tub and hand held wand. And if only there was a place in the UK or Europe that had wash cloths. Pluses = location, breakfast.

10/10

We had a lovely short stay at the Gonville. The rooms were clean, well provisioned and had a good size for a couple. The location of the hotel couldn’t be more perfect for getting around central Cambridge! Breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the bar very much. The only snag we had was our shower wouldn’t go warm, but the hotel team were quick to assure they would get that fixed straight away! A very lovely service and stay, we would definitely recommend and stay here again.
