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.
Stayed as close to Huntingdon Racecourse as where our cycle ride was starting. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was small and a little tired, the shower was OK, no flexibility with it, so had to wash my hair, which had only just been cut 4 hours ago. The breakfast was cereals, toast, packeted croissant, tea, coffee and fresh fruit juice. Really good value for the price. When booking the initial price changed which was frustrating, but still extremely good value for a last minute booking.
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.
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.
The hotel room was excellent, very well-equipped with a functional kitchen and washing machine, and incredibly spacious. The best part was the free overnight street parking, though you need to move your car by 8 AM or purchase extra hours. For visiting Cambridge, you can use the 'park and ride' service and take a bus into the city.
The hotel is the basic we needed when we used it. The room is clean and the double bed is spacious enough for 2 people. The breakfast is great with a variety of breakfasts. My only concern is that the taxi is quite expensive compared to Uber, so I will recommend Uber instead of using the hotel taxi list.
Excellent! The room was small but very clean and tidy, perfectly adequate. The breakfast was surprisingly the best I had on my entire UK trip. Compared to the Hilton, Hampton Inn, and DoubleTree I stayed at later, their English breakfast with hash browns, sausages, and baked beans was far superior. There's a Sainsbury's supermarket and fast-food places like Pret A Manger right downstairs, which is super convenient. It's a bit of a walk to Cambridge, about 20 minutes on foot. The front desk service was also great and very friendly.
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!
Location is great!
Affordable cost! Given a free parking, which was bonus.
As located in service station, a selection of fast-food restaurant is available nearby.
Cleanliness is not great! Visible crumbs on the carpet and drawers, with filthy looking curtains.
Breakfast is available on site but a but pricey should you decide to have it daily over a 3 day booking. Decision to make it a try on our first day, not a fan. Staff in the kitchen not friendly. Not attempted to make conversation (as if not heard us) at all when asked if topping up as containers were mostly empty and not even closing time yet. Definitely not value for money .
Reception staff are great!
Over all experience - satisfactory. Will consider staying again (hope they improve with cleanliness)
Thanks!
Good stay. The pool area is quite small and not the cleanest so wouldn’t give it 5 star. Handy that the lockers were free and free towels provided. Would’ve liked a dressing gown. Room service was quick, hot, and tasty. Customer service was lovely but quite slow on reception. I would definitely stay again!
Very Good

Aarmin irannezhadThere is no hair dryer in the room, and the water pressure in the shower is low.
LLaomaidangI've stayed at this Hilton in Cambridge twice now, and both times it felt so welcoming. I booked the same river view room, and it was still just as comfortable and cozy. The front desk and restaurant were all the same, nothing changed. What did change was that this time I drove myself, and the parking was £26 a night – quite expensive! We walked to several Cambridge colleges and the shopping street, all within about ten to fifteen minutes. Cambridge feels much safer than London; you don't have to constantly guard your pockets or clutch your phone here. The breakfast was superb.
GGuest UserThis was the largest room I stayed in during my UK trip. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to Trinity College and King's College in Cambridge city center. The area around is very quiet, and there's a supermarket about 100 meters away, so you can buy groceries and cook your own meals. There are also fast-food burger places nearby. Transportation is very convenient; you can take bus route 1 from Cambridge train station and it drops you right at the hotel entrance. When I first checked in, I found the cleanliness a bit lacking, especially the long sofa. However, after exploring the Cambridge University area, I realized that the entire Cambridge seems to have this damp, slightly old-fashioned feel. The shower was very comfortable, and the bathroom was also super spacious.
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 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
