  A fantastic, characterful luxury hotel in the heart of Cambridge

My wife and I booked a two-day break at the Gonville Hotel.The breakfasts are some of the best I have had in a hotel anywhere in the world. Rather than a buffet of congealed bacon and eggs, the menu is a la carte, and the staff were quite happy to adjust the order. A big shout out to Daniela in the restaurant for being some welcoming and setting the tone. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend the Gonville Hotel, and I hope to get the chance to visit again. Definitely 5*.
