Hotel Felix

Attended Graffiti for a private dinner in the upstairs dining room - great ambiance. Food is good, although relatively small dishes which left a few at the table still peckish. Attentive service. The wine list is quite extensive, and the bar downstairs well stocked. We didn't stay at the hotel so no comment offered there.

Nice ambiance. Excellent sleep (mattress and pillows), calm and quiet. Rooms clean - too warm initially (in February), but adjustable. However, missed some adequate light in the bathroom for proper shaving and did not like the „techno“-type of „music“ that was forced on the people in the bar (an elder couple left because of the „noise pollution“). The server argued that the management insists in playing this (inappropriate) music. Well, if the personal opinion of the management counts more than the comments of the customers....

Comfortable rooms but appalling service. From the moment we arrived the service was lacking, there was a wedding on the same night and the staff could not cope with it and regular guests although it was a very small wedding. We were told we could not book dinner until 20:15 but when we came downstairs the restaurant was empty but it was almost impossible to get any waiter's attention. I was absolutely parched as I wasn't drinking wine and had to keep chasing the waiters to refill my water glass all evening. There was a complete lack of attention all evening. The food was good but it was my wedding anniversary and it was ruined. I don't recommend the place at all.

Great hotel. The room was spacious and clean. Would have preferred a larger shower unit ( just me !). The staff are super friendly and helpful with great advice about the local area. It would have been 5 stars, it's just the cooked side of the breakfast for me wasn't up to scratch. A colleague order a full english, just a lack of care with the food. My scrambled egg with smoked salmon, a lot of egg not so much salmon. I think it would have been nicer, served as Eggs Royal. If you can do that Eggs Benedict / Florentine is that far off, unfortunately not offered on the breakfast menu. But the breakfast tea was really enjoyable.

Found this hotel after searching for a dog friendly place in Cambridge, not too many. I know Cambridge really well having been born there but didn’t recall this hotel. It’s based about a 10 minute drive or half hour walk from the city centre. This was a short break to visit family and for my wife to have a chance to experience the excellent shopping in Cambridge. The hotel is easy to find and the staff are very efficient and friendly. Dogs are allowed in selected rooms, the orangery and the grounds. The room was plenty large enough and comfortable for 2 people and 2 large Labrador dogs. Good facilities including mini bar and powerful shower. The restaurant was excellent for dinner, breakfast and morning coffee can be taken in the orangery. Overall a very pleasant experience and will definitely return.

Great up-market dog friendly hotel, after arriving we were greeted with a doggy goody bag. We ate with her in the orangery, were we had a big family lunch. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They boast large grounds to walk the dog, however it’s just a grassed boundary and garden area, nothing massive. The location was good with easy car access, however, you can walk straight for an hour to the centre of town. We were upgraded to a suite upon check-in, the room was spacious, great decor and facilities. The toiletries are the White Company. Overall amazing experience, we will return.

Pretty good in many ways. Clean, tidy and good parking. About 20min brisk walk to the town centre. However, amateurish front of house in the restaurant and disorganised kitchen let this establishment down (possible there was a temporary staffing issue, so I'll give them another chance) 1- Denied breakfast which was included in the room as their list was inaccurate. Made to wait for them to check. 2 - Not shown where the buffet was and not told what was available. 3 - Made to order breakfast missing a poached egg. Had to request it. 4 - Table piled up with plates and had to ask more than once for a clear up.

Excellent. We were upgraded on arrival which was a nice touch. The hotel was spotless and the staff very attentive. Though the hotel is on the outskirts of Cambridge it is only a 5 minute ride into the centre. Ample car parking at no charge is also a plus.Will return. Thank you.

The worst afternoon tea i have ever had ! no staff present apart from when They left the food at the beginning which consisted of curled up dry sandwiches, jellied jam or was it really jam ? more like jelly, tasteless. Hard dry scones not even warm, didn't have any jasmine tea only enough for one so we had green tea that was fine. 3 bought in cakes a quarter of a lemon tart,a dry piece of lemon cake and the only decent thing was a coffee slice ! never saw member of staff again so we just got up and walked out.

When visiting Cambridge on Business - not really knowing the city - I tended to end up in the holiday Inn in Histon. One time they bumped me and I ended up in the Felix. Felix has better rooms - spacious and well decorated, excellent bathrooms with spacious baths, and the whole place 'feels' expensive. Its a good bet for one or maybe 2 nights, and is better quality than Hilton or Marriott. We paid the same as we do for Marriot/Hilton but that was with corporate rate. I suspect deals are available. As far as I can tell this is a genuine independent trying to establish itself. On the whole, its worth the £100-£130 per night and definitely makes a pleasant change from some of the more established chains that you might end up in when travelling on business.
