Stay at the hotel quite often when travelling to my tattoo artist. Always a great stay, comfortable rooms, great breakfast choice and easy to travel to whether by rail or car.
A nice, clean, modern property at good value for money. The rooms are all quite nice, with lots of essentials like bed-side USB charging. The only two gripes are paid parking (punchy at over 14GBP/night), and the tragic Nescafe in-room coffee.
Good location. Cambridge North railway station next door. 3 trains an hour to cambridge central, a 10 minute train ride. Gym and pool were a nice touch and good breakfast options. 24 hr bar for hotel users.
A good stay at the Cambridge Novotel North - lovely newly furnished and clean room, nice staff, very close to bus stops for the 15 minute bus ride into Cambridge.
The "wellness center" was a bit too family friendly for us, but appreciate it was a weekend.
Thanks for the upgrade. The hotel is lovely - great pool and facilities.
Not much going on in the immediate vicinity but very convenient for those visiting Cambridge

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was modern, clean, practical, had everything you needed. Except there was no bottled water in the room we had. Rituals shampoo etc which was a nice touch.
The spa had a lovely swimming pool, but unfortunately every single locker was broken in the changing rooms, the showers around the pool didn’t work and it would be nice to get complementary slippers for spa users with access.
The showers in the changing rooms were not much better either, clean and tidy well kept but the showers stay on for no more than 5 seconds - which needs improving.
I think they would also benefit from having a swimming costume drying machine in the changing rooms or offer bags for wet suits - this is a standard in all spas.
I also think with the price of room rates people staying should receive a discount at least on the parking, or be allocated 24hrs free as a gesture.
Overall the stay was pleasant, what we needed, and it was very comfortable.
Amazing spacious room with its modern interior just like the whole vibe of the hotel itself.
Amazing customer service from the minute of booking until the very end. From greeting, to helping me make the day as social as possible by great communication and replying to messages fast in order for the surprise to take place. :)
Thank you for everything on that day, from upgrade to all the little things added in our stay that made it magical and stress free :)
Loved every minute of it. Shame the wellness centre wasn’t open for longer than nine especially since our arrival was quite late however it’s understandable for quest comfort and peace.
My family and I, along with our dog, had a wonderful stay at the Novotel Cambridge North. The hotel is modern and clean. We stayed for two nights, and we enjoyed the sauna, pool, and restaurant, all of which were excellent. Its location next to Cambridge North Station made it very convenient for us.
