Stayed during the February cold snap. Heating in the room struggled to keep up.
Staff are friendly & helpful.
Room clean with very comfortable bed, bath and separate rain shower.
Don't eat the packet of crisps on the desk - unless you want to pay £1.70. The wi-fi is free and the connection was good for the two nights of my stay.
Good continental breakfast (included in rate) anything cooked is extra.
The hotel is generally quiet but some dipsticks returning to their rooms late at night don't care about slamming their room doors shut which makes a racket to wake you up.

By the way although they take American Express for payment you are made to feel a leper for using it!

We had a junior suite for 4 (parents and 2 kids). It could be perfect but when I pay 310£ a night, I except more attention to details... Lots of web spider on the ceiling. We order room service: 4 cokes but only 2 glasses. When dinner was finished, we called the reception so that then can take the tray back: no one after 20min so that we left the tray in the corridor. At the restaurant, eventhough it was not busy, we got a table juste next to the kitchen's door. Every 30 secondes, someone was coming in-coming out with an unwelcoming fresh air for us. We asked to have an other table and that was no problem. The food was ok but not wondefull and the guy next to us had to complain about his dessert. And well, a candle is nice but a clean one would be even better (not with crumbs of all kinf of food in it). The best was salt & pepper that you don't want to touch because it's look damaged and so dirty! But service was very warm and polite, the athmosphere is very nice as well. Too bad there is such a lack of attention to details!

I've stayed in Cambridge on business quite a few times over the years and generally stay at one of the hotels in the centre of the City (which vary a bit, but they have some deals if you shop around and avoid Graduation weekends!)

On this weekend, we'd gone as a couple and decided to make a bit of a relaxing time out of it, and the location of the hotel helps that very much. The Felix is just under two miles from the centre, although it's possible to walk into town if you're fit and active - of which more later. The deal we got on Expedia was okay as well, which probably swung our decision. We normally book directly through the hotel website in the hope of getting given a decent room with a view, but the Expedia deal was half the price, so hey-ho - and you don't get many views on wet January evenings in any case.

A decent view it wasn't, although I've seen less scenic car parks, admittedly. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and first impressions of the room (notwithstanding the car park) were good. There are some nice touches such as fresh milk in the mini bar for your hot drinks and toiletries from The White Company (if such things interest you and you feel like eeking them out to take home!). The showers are also very good and have a rainbath-type fitting, which means you can do your rendition of Singing in the Rain to your heart's content. The underfloor heating is nice on the tootsies when you get out.

Breakfast was a bit of a poor affair, really. Having eaten across the road at the Beefeater the first night (well, come on, if you got the room cheap, you wouldn't be in the market for the restaurant prices in this hotel) we were eager to see what the hotel food was like. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate I think, but if you fancy a hearty kipper - well, anything cooked, actually - you'll need another £7.50 each. Porridge is free, so if you're up for the latest fad in healthy breakfasts you'll presumably not want the full English to follow!
Could've done with a better choice of fruit at breakfast though, methinks. However, the roaring fire in the restaurant is free so you could toast yourself for nothing...

It's good to go to a hotel where everything is clean and fresh, and on this count the Felix scores extremely well. No tatty wallpaper, leaking baths or threadbare carpets in sight - far from it, in fact. All freshly cleaned and well-kept. The overall ambience is pretty refined and select, which left me wondering why this is the only hotel in the last year where I've been woken up at 3am by rowdy guests.

Would we stay there again? Possibly. It's not a business hotel, so it's great for a leisure weekend away. For business in Cambridge it's not great, though, as you'd have to get into town and park somewhere, which would be a bit of a sting in Cambridge. It's £8 each way in a taxi, BTW. You could always catch the bus, but if you do, don't ask the hotel for a timetable, as the one they gave us was two years out of date ... a fact that became painfully clear as we glimpsed the bus sail past the end of the road. It's 25 minutes walk to town, as we discovered ... perhaps makes up for the lack of fitness centre?

Our introduction to this hotel was to meet the reception manager from Fawlty Towers.
She was shocking, and had it not been for the smooth intervention of the duty manager, we would have left.
The room was small but clean and comfortable. Internet was fine.
Only used the restaurant for breakfast which was very good, and well presented by helpful staff.
There had been a wedding celebration, but we were not able to hear it, and were in no way inconvenienced by the couples big day, not something one is always able to say.
Very good location for Cambridge and the surrounding area.
Would recommend it.
