The fact that the swimming pool was slightly deep for our 5 year old, and there was no kids pool either. Also the fact that parking was not included in the price and was extra charge. Instead of sofa bed-a single bed could be better as well.

Location is great-right next to the station and Co-op was just opposite the hotel which was very handy!

I was expecting Mineral water in the room but there wasn’t any and it seems such a basic thing to be missing in such a good hotel

We had a lovely and comfortable stay! The swimming pool was a great addition and kept the kids entertained throughout our 2 nights away. A particular member of staff went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable, which we really appreciated. Some of the other staff weren’t as friendly, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Cot was stained Room check in was later than 3pm as the room wasn’t ready

Modern Nice pool but small & very busy. Gym is good for people who like the techno machines. Good location - bus stop & train station next to the hotel. Bus is a 15min ride to the centre of Cambridge - £9.50 return for 2 people. Co-op opposite hotel

One of our rooms had a crying baby next door which prevented one of the youngsters from sleeping.Soundproofing could therefore have been better.

Breakfast was excellent. Parking in the station car park was good but it could have been signposted as being the parking for the hotel at its entrance rather than having to go round. Children enjoyed the swimming pool.

Very clean hotel with a lovely modern pool. Clean, modern room. Lovely cool room, window opens and there's also air con. Even with the window open, we couldn't hear the trains going by through the station outside. 2 min walk to Cambridge North Station, really convenient. All in all, a great place to stay if you need easy access to Cambridge, more reasonable than staying in the centre, and feels really good value for having the wonderful pool.

Staff at reception could be a bit more attentive.

Modern spacious building with a big indoor swimming pool. Very nice hotel room. Excellent location: bus stop (to Cambridge) almost in front of hotel. Excellent food.

The only downside is the transparent bathroom door, which really affects privacy — especially when staying with family. Excellent hotel with just one detail to improve: the bathroom door.

We had a great stay at Novotel Cambridge North. The hotel is excellent overall, with a fantastic swimming pool and a very good gym that made our stay even better. A very special mention goes to Luiza, the Brazilian staff member at breakfast. She was super kind, attentive, and always willing to help, making our mornings a lot brighter.

The hotel is located far from the centre, but has excellent transport links.

This is a modern, comfortable, clean hotel, and also with a swimming pool! In addition, there are also incredibly delicious breakfasts. My children were delighted with the hotel!

Great hotel for a weekend to explore Cambridge. Large comfortable family room, quiet, clean modern decor, fab breakfast and a great swim before we left.

Not so much that we didn't like it.... It was just tricky to navigate getting changed before/after the pool. I travelled with my 10 year old (but looks a lot older) son, and there are no enclosed places to get changed so I had to let him get changed alone in the men's facilities and this made me anxious.

We loved the location. The staff were wonderful. The pool was lovely. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Everything was good, apart from few blood stains on the carpet

The room was quite small with little to no view, and there was no free parking available for guests. Unfortunately, the bed was very dusty—when I lifted the pillow, dust scattered everywhere, which triggered my allergies and left me with itchy eyes and a runny nose all night. The water pressure in the bathroom was also weak and not very effective. Compared to the Novotel in London Canary Wharf, this hotel fell short in both comfort and cleanliness, despite being the same price.
