Stayed at Novotel Cambridge North recently and had a really solid experience overall. The staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference.
The facilities were impressively clean, especially the swimming pool and sauna - both well maintained and relaxing to use. Breakfast was more than sufficient, with a great standard full English buffet that was always topped up quickly, so nothing ever felt picked over.
Location-wise, it’s just a 4-minute walk from Cambridge North train station, which makes getting in and out incredibly easy. The connections are excellent, and having a Co-op right opposite is really convenient - especially since the hotel itself is a bit removed from other shops and amenities.
Overall, a comfortable and well-run stay, particularly if you’re travelling by train or need a quieter base just outside the city.
Nice location everything you need is here
Good for dog walking pond picnic area at the back
Beds not that comfy ok for short breaks
And no bins about the car park
This hotel is located on the outskirts of Cambridge. Right outside, there's a bus stop with frequent buses, making it super convenient to get to Cambridge University and the city center (about 10 minutes away). Plus, there's a supermarket, a pizza place, and a bakery/coffee shop all within easy reach. The facilities are also quite new.
Stayed 3 nights so that we could visit family and friends in the area. Booked a twin room which had adequate space for 2 of us and separate area with small table and chairs if needed. Beds were comfortable and the room was warm (once I was shown how to activate the heating) Unfortunately the bathroom was very cold as the hotel boiler needed repair so the radiator wasn’t working. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is quite dated and in need of an upgrade which is on the planning. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially when I realised I’d left my own personal pillow on the bed. They tracked it down and a friend collected for me the next day. Definitely stay agin when next in the area.
I have stayed in this hotel a few times now, and every time the receptionist Izabella has been both helpful and friendly in every transaction whether it be by telephone or in person at the desk. In an industry where this is pretty rare her consistency should be noted and is an asset to her company. The hotel itself is good. No complaints.

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment I checked in until I left. The room was clean, cozy and exactly what I needed for my trip. The location was also perfect—it was close to all the places I wanted to visit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay, and I’ll definitely come back next time!
We had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel!
✅ Check-in was smooth and efficient, and the reception staff were warm and welcoming. They also helped us register our car for free parking, which was a great bonus.
🛏️ Our room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The air conditioning was customisable and worked flawlessly throughout the stay, adding to our comfort.
🧴 All the toiletries were fully stocked and ready to use — a small but thoughtful touch.
🕛 One thing we really appreciated was the 12 PM checkout time, which is later than many other hotels. It gave us extra time to relax and pack without feeling rushed.
🛍️ The location is super convenient — just a 5-minute walk to a large shopping mall, making dining and shopping easy.
🔌 Another highlight was the electric vehicle charging available in the hotel parking, which was exactly what we needed.
💷 Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money with great service and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back!
It was a very pleasant stay. Very comfortable bed and pillows, I’ve had an amazing sleep. Bathroom clean and quite big with all necessary toiletries provided. We used the gym, swimming pool and sauna facilities. All very clean. Gym receptionist was very kind and helpful. Gym was fully air conditioned, pool and areas clean. Only odd part, there was a swimming lesson in action for young kids so couldn’t enjoy the pool much. Breakfast was lovely also! Good variety of food. I would definitely return!
Check-in was easy and smooth. The hotel smells amazing and was clean. I found the bed very comfortable and made use of late check out. Had some drinks at the bar which wasn't too busy, plenty of seating and good service. I'd stay here again.
Hotel and Room: The hotel has a new design, and the lobby and public areas are spacious. The suite layout is sensible, and the space is comfortable – definitely great value for money for a hotel in the UK.
Amenities: The room includes a kitchen, washing machine, and other conveniences.
Cleanliness: It was very clean upon check-in, but regular cleaning is only once a week. Extra cleaning services require an additional fee, though you can request fresh towels.
Very Good

Aarmin irannezhadThere is no hair dryer in the room, and the water pressure in the shower is low.
HHuayangtianshichenwaerIt is close to Cambridge university and quite convenient to anywhere you wanna visit, the room is lovely with Cam river view. The stuff are all kind and supportful, I have to give my biggest thanks to stuff Emma who is so nice and unforgettable . Will absolutely choose this hotel next time when i am in Cambridge .
GGuest UserVery nice room and good facilities. We used the gym and sauna during the evening at adults only time (7-10pm). The Hotel is near the bus station and our room had good views. Staff is friendly and let us look around including breakfast services to let us decide if we wanted it or not. Very new kitchen with a cute recipe book included!
GGuest UserHad trouble with hot water on shower control,very hot fine for me but would be concern for children
The control needs looking at
The room was very clean and the facilities were good would recommend to anyone
GGuest UserThis is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in the UK, much better than other £100 rooms in other cities. The environment is excellent. It is located right opposite the river where we could walk around, and there was a beautiful backyard where guests could sit and enjoy food and drinks.
The breakfast they offered was very nice, with plenty of choices. It was very peaceful and enjoyable just spending the morning there; you can really feel how a perfect morning should start in Cambridge.
The staff was also very helpful. They carried my luggage up and down the stairs during check‑in and check‑out.
As for the location, it is just a few hundred metres away from the River Cam and other viewpoints, most of which you can reach on foot. Other than that, the facility was well equipped, everything works perfectly without any malfunction happened.
Overall, it was a great experience staying there, and I would definitely recommend it to others if I get the chance.

GGuest UserGreat downtown location, super convenient for getting around. Lots of universities nearby and plenty of Chinese restaurants within walking distance. They provide shampoo, body wash, conditioner, hand soap, hand cream, and tissues. Toothpaste and toothbrushes aren't in the room, but you can ask for them at the front desk. The room is spacious and clean.
GGuest UserTravelodge wouldn’t have been a bad memory except for TRIP that made it a horrible one for me , I definitely sure this would be my last dealing with them.
Here is my ordeal with Travelodge and TRIP.com, on arriving the hotel I discovered the hotel has no air conditioning and it was terribly hot in London, I immediately notified the hotel of my intention to check out which they agreed to and are willing to give me a refund , unfortunately the TRIP customer service kept going round and round with the situation inorder for them to make me finish my stay at the hotel even with the fact that I complained it wasn’t comfortable, to be honest the hotel did their best to ensure I get my refund but trip messed everything up, there was practically nothing they didn’t do to make sure I didn’t check out even when someone from the hotel spoke with them about their willingness to give me a refund this is the hotel Ass. Manager ( Mrs Gosia) .
I had a very terrible experience with trip and it is definitely going to be my last . I couldn’t sleep most of the night because of the terrible heat at night thanks to trip.
😞
GGuest UserThe hotel was fantastic, the staff brilliant, the cleaner girl we spoke to, not got her name, was so sweet and so helpful and the blonde girl on reception fabulous, but as i said all reception staff, canteen staff and cleaners made our 2 night stay so enjoyable, a big thankyou from us
