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…read moreholiday 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.

The price was less expensive than the Felix, but there were some disappointments. 1. Upon entering the reception, there is a computer. It had a sign on it that it was broken and the service technicians had been called. I stayed there a week for the family activities. At the end of the seven days, the computer still had not been repaired. I suspect it is still not repaired. 2. There was a charge of 5 pounds per hour for wi-fi; 10 pounds for 24 hours (lapsed time, not used time). Very expensive. 3. There were no phones or clocks in the rooms, so no wake-up call. I asked about wake-up calls, and the man at the desk said they could bang on the door. They did let me use their office phone to call my sister a few times. My daughter and her family were also staying in the hotel. We had to go to each other's rooms to talk. 4. The (not included) breakfast was quite expensive and was served in a dingy, basement room. 5. No elevator. A problem for those of us with big bags. On a positive note: 1. Nice people work there. Not really trained well, but tried and were very pleasant. 2. Very close to Cambridge city centre via the bus. 3. Beds very comfortable.

I wish I could give this hotel better reviews and I contemplated giving this hotel an even lower…read morerating because of the frustration of the really bad Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi at Menzies Hotel is free however it is quite spotty. You are logged in to the Wi-Fi at one minute, the next minute you are disconnected. The Wi-Fi connection is almost non-existent in your bedroom and seems to be the best in the bar. Even in the bar though, the connection is off and on. It is very frustrating. Of course, I'm not going to base my review of this hotel on just the Wi-Fi--this hotel is very clean, and on beautiful grounds. The beds are comfortable and the very tasty full English breakfast will satisfy the hungriest morning appetite. The hotel has a dining room which serves dinner after 7pm and also has room service dining. Dinner we had here was really good. The hotel has a golf course but I cant really talk about it too much because I didn't really experience it. I'm sure it is beautiful. The staff is attentive and nice. The hotel is about 5 miles NW of the Cambridge city square. The #5 bus will get you to Emmanuel College in about 20-25 minutes depending on the traffic. Down the street from the Menzies is a pub that offers pretty good food and drinks and 2 minutes from there is a 24 hour Tesco (with AMAZINGLY fast free WIFI) and a Costa Coffee shop. Overall, I think for me, the frustration of the spotty Wi-Fi over-powered the many positive aspects of the hotel. I would probably not stay here ever again unless I absolutely had to.

My friends and I had a complete giggle staying at this hotel!…read more It is a really good place to stay if you are in a big group (we were on a hen party) and this worked out far cheaper than similar hotels in the centre of Cambridge even after we spent a fortune on taxis!! However it wasn't perfect...and I don't think I'd choose to stay here if I was on a romantic weekend break! The good parts: - There were large, clean lovely rooms - The curtains block out ALL light so we could go clubbing all night, then sleep during the morning without being woken up by the sunshine - yay! - They have enough stock of prosecco to keep a large group of ladies well bubbled - The spa facilities can really help with hangovers! - The breakfast made me happy The less good: - There was a really dodgy kettle in our room (it would just keep boiling and boiling and burnt my friend's hand when we tried to unplug it.) We told the staff that it should be removed as it is dangerous and they ignored us/didn't change it - It's quite far away from Cambridge's centre. A taxi cost between £12 and £20 (it was different every time!!) - We had a meal included for the first night...it was a carvery /buffet and wasn't particularly good. Maybe it is designed for hungry golfers as all food tastes better when you're really really hungry...

We stayed for 2-nights in room #15 and attended my sister's evening wedding reception at Hotel Felix. From our unplanned early check-in to staff working well past midnight to ensure the wedding guests had everything we needed... I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention we all received. The hotel grounds are beautiful and a picture perfect spot for wedding festivities. The bride tossed her bouquet/groom tossed the garter from the penthouse balcony. There's a beautiful gazebo out back for pictures or just sitting and chatting with a cocktail. There are several statues/public art outside. Lots of parking. Plus, catering and bar tending staff were great. I could go on and on... Thanks, Hotel Felix for a good stay and making my sister's wedding reception so special!

For me it was reasonable. The room was great. Nice big bed and spacious room. Internet connect was ok but pricy. I did not have a car and showed up late so ate in the restaurant on location. You are a good walk or taxi ride away from anything else so if you don't have a car you probably will end up eating at this restaurant. The local office for the company I work for has their Christmas party here and everyone seems to like it. The restaurant on location which is called Graffiti, I thought was good. I also did not get small potions and went with the special of the day which included a salad with prosciutto on it that I really liked. The bar is 5 feet away has a different menu and not that interesting. My second night stay I ordered from this menu and this was a small portion.

This is quite a pleasant B&B on the outskirts of Cambridge. It is however a bit of a distance from…read moreanything else of interest and this place works best if you have your own car. It is the second best option, if you have to get to Madingley Hall, but cannot find accommodation there. The rooms are tiny, but comfortable with complementary toiletries and coffee/tea in the room. They only provide breakfast which is an addition 10 or 12 pounds depending on whether you want cooked or continental fare. Cooked breakfast takes a while to appear, so I would not recommend it if you are in a hurry. Don't expect a working farm. They have one horse and 2 sheep. This is more of a B&B and Wedding venue than a farm. Service was pleasant. They were very helpful with directions and ordering taxis. The Madingley Hall / Cambridge Park & Ride is a 10-15 minute walk away from where you can catch buses to the center of town. But this isn't the most convenient option if you are exhausted after a long day.

We had the best experience ever because I booked the master bedroom (or bridal suite!) which for only a few pounds more than the other rooms was magnificent - huge with lots of windows overlooking the garden and furnished as a country house. Really comfortable and quiet. There's a small open air swimming pool and a tennis court free for use by residents and a good continental breakfast for £10. It's a good walk across fields into the centre of Cambridge and a £10 taxi ride back after dinner. During the day there's a Park and Ride a short distance away so you can get the bus in. Definitely recommend though the new charge for parking in the carpark seems a bit mean.
