GONVILLE HOTEL REVIEWS

The staff were absolutely lovely and accommodating. In particular Reuben at Reception was informative, polite, and helpful throughout check-in and check-out. It was a pleasant surprise to see our bed decorated and a card and chocolates to celebrate our engagement! The only slight feedback was that there were no bedside 3-pin charger plugs. Thank you to the Gonville for making our Cambridge stay a great one.

Perfectly located close to the centre of town and opposite Parkers Piece. Our room on the first floor had a Juliet balcony looking out over Parkers Piece. The room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Toiletries in the bathroom were very nice, bathroom was fine, if a little tight for space.

Lovely hotel in good central location. Excellent staff. Lovely breakfast Unfortunately we didn't realise until we left that they offer free loan of bikes and tour of Cambridge in one of their Bentley which is an added bonus and an incentive for us to return.

HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS CAMBRIDGE REVIEWS

Stayed here for a family wedding for two nights. Checked out this morning. . The Staff were lovely, the Staff, were lovely. Did everything they could to make us comfortable. Helping my Brother- in -law providing him extra heating , immediately, as a Parkinsons sufferer he feels the cold more acutely. Food, Accommodation was great a real Home from Home . Many Thanks, from Sarah Robinson, Rivers and Reed Families.

I looked around the hotels in Cambridge for one that has free parking, and found this hotel meets all my requirements. It was suck a great value, the staff were all friendly, the gentleman at the bar was particularly helpful with a sense of humor. Will come back here again when next time in Cambridge.

Staff were very accommodating when we arrived. Signed me up as a member so it aloud me discount on my next visit and I was able to check out at 2pm which was perfect.

IBIS CAMBRIDGE CENTRAL STATION REVIEWS

Check in is quick and convenient. The hotel has a contemporary design and everything is comfortable. The rooms are clean and minimal but have all you need. The bathroom is a little weird as it is an elevated cubicle. Breakfast is a good mix of cooked and continental so something to suit everyone. The hotel is conveniently located by the train station but I found it to be quiet that I wasn't disturbed by outside noise. It is about a 30 min walk to the main university buildings.

Booked two rooms to take my very excited nieces to Cambridge. Location is perfect, next to station and a short walk to the city centre. Good size room and very clean. The ibis breakfast is amazing as usual. What make the difference to other hotels is the staff always very helpful and smiley thanks a lot for the special attention reserved to my dog!

Stayed many times before. The rooms are always comfortable and clean. What was better this stay was the bar / cafe on the ground floor where the service, food quality and general ambience better than ever.
