Modern clean hotel right next to the train station. Cambridge North. Room is of good size and storage space is good. There is a well stocked small supermarket right across the hotel COOP. Not much food options around. Bus stop is short distance away into town. It’s actually walkable about 30-40 minutes to center of Cambridge. Would stay here again.

The atmosphere is pleasant and charming.

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.
