Excellent room and service but faulty TV and WiFi.
Very friendly staff, spotless room, luxurious bed, tasty breakfast, great facilities. Just a shame that the very basic TV could barely hold a signal and became unwatchable, and the WiFi wasn't working (after logging in, there was no internet available).

Comfortable stay in great location
The room was very clean, good size bathroom with underfloor heating, bed and pillows were very comfortable. For me the duvet could have been thicker as I turn the heating off overnight but that’s personal preference. Overall a really good stay and will come back soon.

The position is ideal being near the station, but not on a busy road and it is a fairly easy walk up to Ely cathedral and the centre of Ely

The property is a self check in property. Unfortunately, we did not realise that details of check-in were sent via email the day before which went straight into my junk box. We arrived around 2 hours early in the hope we could drop our bags off especially because it was the day of our daughter's wedding and were rudely told via the ring bell that all check-in details are on the email. There is no O2 coverage in most of Ely so I could not access these details. When I asked about parking, I was told this was also on the email. For over £175, this is not service I would expect. Check-in is too late and inflexible and check-out is 10am. We had to carry our cases through Ely town late at night. Just what you need after a long day. On top of that, what you would expect is a nice quiet night is instead geese honking in the night, trains going by and bottles being emptied out by the neighbouring restaurant in the early hours. Definitely not worth the money.

Good facilities in the room, although the decor was a bit overpriced! The breakfast was slightly disappointing in that there was no granola or muesli, some of the fruit offered was tinned, and the bread was rather ordinary. But nice to feel as if we were all in our own home, with a front door straight onto the river

Quiet and secluded part of the city. Lovely environment around the waterways and only a short walk from the cathedral.

I missed the fact that the bathroom, although for my personal use, was not ensuite. Maybe it was in the small print. Everything else very good.

The hotel and the location next to the river is beautiful! Overall, very good.
Our room was very warm. After we adjusted it as best we could it was still uncomfortably warm. The bed was described as a King, but I would describe it as a queen size. In other words too small for my husband and I.
Everything else was very good. Breakfast was lovely.
