Novotel Cambridge North - 4-Star Hotel in Milton (Cambridgeshire)

The hotel holds a Travel Proud certification and a Sustainability certification, reflecting its commitment to inclusive and eco-conscious practices. Guests have access to a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff speaking English, French, Hungarian, and Italian. Safety features include CCTV in common areas, fire extinguishers, key card access, and safety deposit boxes.

All rooms are air-conditioned with soundproof walls and premium bedding, ensuring a quiet stay despite the adjacent train station. Family rooms offer additional space with queen beds and sofa beds, and the hotel provides travel cots with mattresses for infants. The hotel is pet-friendly, with a fee of £15 per night, and rooms include a fridge, safe, iron and ironing board.

The hotel sits directly next to Cambridge North train station, offering a 5-minute train ride to Cambridge city centre and direct connections to London Stansted Airport (60 km away). A bus stop outside the hotel provides a cheap service into town, and the scenic River Cam walk into the city takes about 50 minutes. Paid parking is available in the shared NCP car park, and a Co-op supermarket is directly opposite the hotel.

The indoor heated pool is open all year, with a depth of 1.2 metres suitable for lengths, and is complemented by a hot tub/Jacuzzi and a sauna. A fitness centre with a range of equipment and spa locker rooms are available, though pool access requires a separate key from reception. Sun loungers and pool towels are provided, but the pool area is noted to be small and can become busy with children.

The hotel has two restaurants, including the main restaurant serving a daily buffet breakfast with vegetarian and vegan options. The dinner menu includes kids' meals such as a build-your-own brownie dessert, and the bar offers a happy hour and a coffee house on site. Room service and breakfast in the room are available, and the hotel accommodates dietary restrictions and allergies upon request.
