Odd bathroom set up be warned with children

We found the staff to be friendly, but we're very disappointed with the bathroom, you couldn't lock the door, it swung the whole way and the worst was that you see through the bathroom door! It was glass. We had our 16 year old son in with us and it made the whole experience stressful and uncomfortable

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.
