"The hotel is situated in a charming central location in Ely. My suite was furnished to a high standard, the outstanding feature, of course, being the free-standing copper bath in the bedroom! Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was delicious. My only slight niggle is that I expected better than the standard tube of instant coffee in the room, other provisons, such as the toiletries, being of a high quality, l and was glad I took my own sachets of ground coffee!"

Top Ely Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable stay. Convenient for train station. Clean and tidy, well maintained with good housekeeping. Well stocked bar. Maybe some hand/body lotion in bathroom would be only suggestion. Would highly recommend."

Ramada by Wyndham Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Very accommodating Every staff member I spoke to were very helpful!"

Best Western Heath Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the perfect location with a fantastic little town in walking distance. The staff is extremely helpful. I highly recommend this hotel."

Holiday Inn Cambridge by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall, it's a decent hotel. There is nothing special about it, but it's good. The lobby is very nice, with restaurant and drinks available. The food and drinks were good. The staff was very nice and welcoming. My only real complaint is that water got hot, but it did not get really hot, and the water pressure was terrible. With all that said, I would stay there again"

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Have stayed multiple times. My 6 year old loves the pool. Great rooms with separate bedroom"

Turing Locke Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Convenient location 15 minutes outside of Cambridge, new hotel in a new neighbourhood. Great staff, very good facilities. One recommendation is to request the couch/sofa that converts to a bed, the other option is uncomfortable."

Poets House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The staff were all so friendly, approachable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt welcomed straight away. Our room (room 12) was beautifully decorated, very spacious and spotlessly clean. The air conditioning in the room was really good. We had Sunday lunch which was lovely. The roast potatoes could’ve been crispier but everything was tasty and well presented. Breakfast was very good too. Lovely hot food from the kitchen and a nice little continental selection. The car park is a few minutes walk away but they were fine with us parking in the courtyard to unload our suitcase. We look forward to staying there again soon!"

Oliver Cromwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were extremely helpful especially when I arrived very late. Room very comfortable, tidy and clean"

Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel right in the heart of Newmarket. Welcoming staff and excellent breakfast. We will be back for a spa day soon."
