Receptionists customer service was 100 percent from the moment I walked through the door. She even gave me a really early checkin for free. Explained everything and was so kind. When we arrived back to our room late evening our tv didnt work and the same Receptionist changed our room immediately. Building was really cool, train station out side the door and ony 3.60 to get into the centre of Cambridge. Beds were really comfortable and I woukd definitely recommend staying here to save money as the centre of Cambridge is often really expensive.

The bar isn't fully staffed and can't serve the usual drinks. The TV had one outage after the other, so the kids couldn't watch TV, parents couldn't rest. In comparison to previous stays we're disappointed.

Amazing spacious room with its modern interior just like the whole vibe of the hotel itself. Amazing customer service from the minute of booking until the very end. From greeting, to helping me make the day as social as possible by great communication and replying to messages fast in order for the surprise to take place. :) Thank you for everything on that day, from upgrade to all the little things added in our stay that made it magical and stress free :) Loved every minute of it. Shame the wellness centre wasn’t open for longer than nine especially since our arrival was quite late however it’s understandable for quest comfort and peace.

We stayed in a family room which was very dated. The queen bed was comfortable but the Sofa bed was really poor! It was basically an old sofa with no mattress and the duvet was far too small for the bed. When we complained we were told there was no replacement sofa bed that we could be given! Not really acceptable for 3 nights and when paying so much for the room I’d expect everyone to have a comfortable night!

not bad, not great.

I was disappointed with my stay at this Novotel, as I expected a higher standard from the brand. The hotel lacks an on-site car park, forcing me to pay £10 for daily parking. Despite informing the hotel in advance about our early check-in, we were not told about an additional fee until arrival, which felt misleading. While our room was upgraded, it was underwhelming, with a poorly designed bathroom featuring a door that didn’t fully close, making it uncomfortable for my wife and me. The breakfast was satisfactory, and most staff were courteous, but overall, I would have preferred staying elsewhere.

A nice, clean, modern property at good value for money. The rooms are all quite nice, with lots of essentials like bed-side USB charging. The only two gripes are paid parking (punchy at over 14GBP/night), and the tragic Nescafe in-room coffee.

Regular Visitor Returns

The junior suite was clean, comfortable and businesslike. The staff were helpful and excellent. However, the conditions of the bar area could be refreshed, as some of the sofas are stained and tired, and others look faded, as befits a hotel that hasn't had a refit since opening. My coffee machine was leaky, which was disappointing. Other than that, all good.

Mediocre

Check in isn’t until 3pm they charge £10 per hour to check in early, we have two infants and had requested two travel cots, I rang before booking to see if this was possible and told yes and emailed 3 weeks before to check again told both times absolutely. We were attending a wedding that day so couldn’t check in until 10pm and then messed about as only one travel cot was provided. The team didn’t seem to understand that we literally had nowhere for our son to sleep, he ended up having to go on the sofa pulled against the bed. Shambles if you ask me as if they couldn’t provide it we could’ve brought our own, for the price I think it was a joke - no compensation not even an apology breakfast which is £18.95 PP!
