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.
A beautiful, welcoming, clean and airy hotel, with an abundance of facilities, including a pool and spa facilities. It came recommended to us by my friend, who visits it regularly.
All the staff members were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and catered for vegan and gluten free well.
The location was a distance from town but it was situated next to the train station (Cambridge North) and buses outside the entrance. The parking was plentiful - the station car park run privately, that backs onto the hotel. It can be paid for online, when you park.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed with several aspects of my stay. I was charged £30 more than my sister-in-law for the same room and package, with the only explanation given being a 30-minute difference in our booking times. This seemed unreasonable and left me feeling frustrated. Directions on where to park could also be clearer.
In addition, the kettle in the room kept breaking down, and the TV was faulty and stuck on one channel. These issues affected the comfort and convenience.
The positive experience was Genni from reception and breakfast staff who were professional, friendly, and helpful.
New hotel, clean. Just a bit of a functional but flat reception when we arrived.
Train station obviously super convenient, just a shame that Cambridge Station (the next stop) is so far out of town - 15 mins walk. We ended up getting an Uber into town, train back.
