Lovely hotel and room, although the room was looking a little tired in places. Great welcome from staff on arrival. I had checked in advance for a vegan breakfast and was assured this was not a problem and indeed I was given a vegan breakfast menu on check-in, which looked fab. Tried to order this at breakfast but the restaurant staff (and kitchen) acted as if they had never seen the menu before. We were then told that the Vegan Menu options of Tofu Omelette and Vegan sausages, were NOT vegan at all. And there were also no saute potatoes or hash browns available. I ended up with one mushroom, some avocado and some sliced raw tofu (unflavoured and inedible) and toast made with bread I had brought myself (gluten free and vegan). Reception staff did deduct breakfast from the bill, but the hassle we had with the restaurant staff over trying to order something vegan for breakfast really spoiled the day. For a hotel of this standard in a thriving, cosmopolitan city, I expected better. I would expect a full vegan breakfast to be available on the menu as a standard option. There is no excuse for it not being in this day and age.

Hotel lacks personality, decor bland modern, lighting harsh as an airport even in bar and dining room, no atmosphere at all. Bar food not good. Accessible bedroom excellent- well thought out with lots of walkable space, very comfortable king size bed. Reception staff helpful, bar and waiting staff would benefit from more training. Hotel position excellent- pity all character has been removed.

Property has real potential as Reception Staff and the two young bartenders are friendly and courteous. It ends there though as the Bar Manager (can only assume he was the manager as he he was only one in a blazer) was rude and had horrible service skills on both experiences with him. After the second encounter on our last night we came to the conclusion we would never return to the hotel. The hotel itself is nice but the bad taste one rude staff can have on a trip shouldn’t be understated.

This is a first class hotel. Very nice if small rooms. The staff were very helpful. Dinning was very good. Parking was available and included Tesla electric car charging (one of two stations working). Located across the street from University and easy walking distance to major sites and museums.

We had a lovely stay at the Gonville. I marked it down slightly due to the room (classic double) being a bit snug, particularly in the bathroom. As the bathroom was so small, a sliding door would work better and could easily be fitted giving more space, it would also prevent the water damage at the bottom of the door, caused by the walk in shower overflowing under the door. The room was long but narrow making it difficult to walk past the bottom of the bed without banging your head on the wall mounted tv. The room was decorated very nicely and had a clean homely feel. One pet peeve at all hotels, is the sticker in the bathroom asking you to be eco friendly by re-using towels, and to leave them on rails if you don't want them changed. But, they still change them!

The location was great. the room was clean. The bathroom was tiny and I am not a big person 5ft 4 56 kilos. Staff were not friendly. The only bar was outside in September. We chose the hotel for parking and location but when we got there there were not parking spaces. We got a space the next day and were charged £26 for one night. We should have stayed in the multi storey which was cheaper. There were no VIP benefits
