Top Ely Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff on reception. Ideal location for walking into Cambridge. A 30-40 minute walk. Plenty of places to eat. Good parking. Room was exactly what we needed. Breakfast was buffet style and suited us. A good choice of food. We always use Holiday Inn if there is one available."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms. Only drawback was limited parking within the property. However, parking available just outside the Hotel."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and wonderful cafe in the lobby."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"5 star Restaurant food was amazing."

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The website stated parking was provided, but when we arrived we were charged a substantial extra - not very welcoming. On Sunday morning we were woken by a very loud alarm. The staff's reaction was incompetent and seemed to reveal a complete ack of Fire awareness or training. No attempt was made to reassure visitors, ensure that everyone was accounted for or inform them that it was a false alarm. Restaurant staff were helpful and attentive."

The Hobson Cambridge By Adina

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location near to the centre of town and not too far away from the station which is rather out of town. Beautiful old building and comfortable albeit compact room. Very nice staff and we loved everything apart from the breakfast - self-service and rather poor quality cold food items with little choice. It was a surprise as it didn’t chime with the rest of the hotel which lent itself towards a more upscale service so hopefully this is constructive feedback."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Overall this is a nice place to stay, The staff are excellent as is the restaurant and food.. We stayed in Room 1 located in the main building which was extremely dated but was clean and comfortable…"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, we used the Castle Hill car park, that was a 15 minute walk, but cheaper. Before going, I checked that I could leave our baggage in reception and the response was quick and helpful. The rooms were lovely and spacious for the three of us. All the extra’s, like body wash, shampoo etc smelt lovely. Nice to have decent toilet roll. Loved the kitchen with the dishwasher, fridge & coffee machine. Would definitely stay again."
