Hotel "Felix" in Cambridge, UK
On September 27, 2007 I had the pleasure to stay at Hotel “Felix”, Whitehouse Lane, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, UK, for two nights.
The Felix’s location is a bit far away in the north, too far to walk if you have a heavy backpack with you. Although quite near to Huntingdon road, the heavy traffic is not recognizable. A taxi to the center was about 10 pounds, if I remember right.
The hotel’s central building is a beautiful Victorian house, spacious, with a nice mix of traditional and modern design elements in the interior. Two modern annexes have been added left and right on the rear side, forming a courtyard. I was in a room on the first floor, directly right of the elevator, which normally is a reason to ask for another room. In this case, however, the elevator was a) not used frequently and b) barely audible. The room itself was looking towards the courtyard, had a nice high ceiling, was equipped with a comfortable king size bed and a spacious bath room with a bath tub.
The “Felix” has a wireless network at a typical and therefore unacceptably high price, but I guess they can charge at these rates because everyone pays them – and so did I.
I very much enjoyed the breakfast, served รก la carte in a generous living room where an open fire created a cosy atmosphere. The rest of the guests seemed to be both business men as well as academics visiting the University. Generally, the restaurant can be recommended.
Nice was the subtle understatement of the hotel, the staff was friendly, attentive and not uppish at all. I can very much recommend this place if you don’t mind being a bit farer away from the center.
