My stay at Hotel Felix was pleasant overall, but there were some disappointing aspects. The staff were welcoming and the hotel had a stylish ambiance, but service issues during dining left me feeling undervalued. While the room was spacious, it was uncomfortably hot at times, which detracted from my comfort.

I found my room to be spacious and clean, but it had a musty smell upon arrival, and the heated towel rail was stuck on, making it too hot. I expected more comfort given the room was labeled as 'premier.'

The reception staff were lovely, but the dining service was disappointing. I faced long wait times for breakfast, and the communication regarding our dinner reservations was lacking, leading to a frustrating experience.

The location is quite nice, as it's just a easy walk into the center of Cambridge. However, I found my room overlooked a busy area where people congregated, which contributed to some noise during the night.
Dining

The food quality was impressive on both evenings, but my second experience was marred by poor service and a lack of communication about a large party in the restaurant. This made me feel like I was an inconvenience rather than a valued guest.
Facilities

The hotel had great parking facilities which made things easier, but my overall experience was hampered by service issues and the need for improved attention to guest needs during dining.

I had a two-night stay at Hotel Felix, and while my room was spacious and clean, the experience overall was less than what I expected of a boutique hotel. The room design was influenced more by modernity than historical charm, which felt a bit misleading. The service during breakfast was chaotic, and the staff seemed overwhelmed, making the start of my day less pleasant than I had hoped.
Rooms

My Premier King room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, featuring a large bed and a good-sized bathroom, although it was located in a modern annex rather than the historic part I anticipated.
Service

The breakfast service was disorganized, and I experienced delays with my order. Staff seemed young and inexperienced, which resulted in a lack of attentiveness and proper communication. I felt there was a significant need for training.
