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 was freezing, no matter what time of day I tried and I was here for three nights. They can say all they want about "sustainability" but this is about being cheap. And I can run the shower. I was in Scotland with a shower just like it and the Scots gave me hot water. And they promised me 5 pounds if I didn't get my room cleaned. They didn't clean and they never gave me my voucher. But the big thing is the water. I would have paid more to stay some where else for a decent shower.

First hotel that we stayed in for our UK trip and I have to say after being around the entire area…read moreof UK this one is pretty alright. Yes Ibis is known to be a pretty small and very tight hotel. There also is no front desk, they have places for you to sit at but you aren't allowed to eat any food that is bought outside! While I was there I saw a group of 20 people trying to use the level one facility where breakfast is served, but they had bought 8 large pizzas. Overall this place is suppose to be budget friendly which you can see a lot of different types of people here. Location wise it's pretty convenient and close to the train station. But I have honestly never been in a room this tiny before. If you paid for breakfast it's pretty much the same thing daily which is a traditional English breakfast filled with eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, fruit salad, sausages, and some cheese. But I would say skip it and just go outside to a coffee shop. It's not worth the amount that you have to pay.

With some separate seating areas aside from the main bar area. I had the non-alcoholic drink called Bouquet. Apparently it's a drink for ladies, but that's ok. Non-alcoholic gin, tonic water, rose water. The slice of grape fruit on top was old, tired and Miscolored. More attention to detail on presentation needed. The drink itself was refreshing.

I feel bad about writing this review, not because we were disappointed (we were) but because this…read moreestablishment clearly advertises itself as a conference facility, yet we researched and booked through Expedia and they had it marked as a hotel of which I feel strongly it is falsely advertised. So in keeping with the above I want to be balanced as possible saying that the grounds and building exterior are beautiful, if you want to run a company event, a wedding, family function etc then this would certainly be a great place to book into. BUT the 'hotel' rooms are rather like temporary accommodation for family members in a hospital, its not the cleanest place I have ever seen, facilities in the room are sparse, the bar isn't somewhere you want to spend any time in and there is no relaxing seating anywhere to be found. We made the mistake of thinking we would meet two of my wife's best friends in a stately home style hotel.. (you know a little piece of Downton Abbey) and have afternoon tea. We checked the website and they did it and the pictures on their website didn't look too bad... When we arrived we started to get the sense this was going to go sideways just by the setup and demeanor so my wife went to see the room we were going to be put and believe it or not it had video monitors and a boardroom style conference table with no views to speak of. We rescued the situation by cancelling and going to the Plough round the corner but it left a pretty sour taste in our mouths for sure ! So if this place is advertised as a conference facility then great, if it's advertised as bed and breakfast (breakfast BTW was awful btw) then it would score low but advertising it as a hotel is like advertising a horse and cart as a Tesla !

The staff, especially catering and bar, are exceptionally kind and use high levels of customer service even for large business parties like ours. The room was spacious and clean with a bottle of sparkling water, with a kettle and coffee/tea/milk/sugars. Bathrooms had shampoo and soap in dispensers. There were no additional provided personal hygiene amenities which was a little disappointing but didn't spoil anything. Bar and coffee prices are fine - it's £3.50 for a hot Starbucks latte or macchiato, about £5-7.50 for beer and wine. Also - full selection of liquor is available but I didn't price check these. Breakfast is a full English, pancakes and continental options are also available. Note that breakfast is not free but it was included in my room cost. Super convenient to the Huntingdon train station with a five minute taxi ride, about £10. About 1h20 from London, it's an easy train journey and a lovely weekend getaway in beautiful Cambridgeshire.

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.
