Top Ely Hotel Reviews

Lamb Hotel by Greene King Inns

Lamb Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent
"What an excellent weekend away we had at The Lamb Hotel in the centre of Ely right opposite the Cathedral. I booked three dinner bed & breakfast rooms for our friend’s 60th birthday surprise. Our rooms a-joined the car park and were comfortable clean and spacious. The included dinner was great, catered for our gluten free friend and there was plenty of choice. Breakfast was very very slow, taking well over an hour to get our cooked breakfast - which for us was ok but they do need to iron out this issue. Parking is limited on site, but we were able to park up ok which was a great advantage. All in all was a great value weekend break and will definitely return."

"On arrival a car with no blue badge was parked in the disabled bay to the right of main entrance. I gave the registration number and showed a picture to the person on the reception desk. He didn’t seem interested and said he thought it was a member of staff and it was obvious he wasn’t going to do anything about it. Unfortunately as a blue badge holder I am finding this becoming an increasingly common approach to managing disabled parking."

"Had a two night weekend break. Arrived earlier than checkin time but were able to leave the car in the carpark - note there is £15 per 24 hr fee. When we did checkin my partner's birthday was acknowledged and our room was upgraded! Room was spacious. A little worn in places but overall clean and comfortable. Had drinks in the bar but ate out other than breakfast. Breakfast was all buffet style but worked well. Would stay again if returning to the area."
