The Gonville Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"On our arrival all staff very warm & welcoming. All the staff we met reception, bar staff all seemed very happy in their jobs. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and in our room there was a card from the hotel and swans made out of towels with red petals on our bed and also some macaroons and chocolates on a slate plate. A lovely touch and much appreciated. Our room was very clean with all amenities that you need. The hotel offered a complimentary vintage car tour around Cambridge city that was amazing and our chauffeur Michael was very knowledgeable and fun. I will be doing a separate review for that. Would definitely return to the Gonville Hotel."
