Nice stay
Pros:

Very nicely done, clean, well located, comfortable. Easy self check in

Cons:

10am check out time is a joke - 11am should be the absolute earliest, especially when check in is only from 3pm!

Pros:

Great location, room looked fantastic and air conditioning was a must.

Cons:

The on-suite was very small, there was 1 tiny wardrobe so my clothes stayed in my case.
The cooked breakfast was ok if you got up at 8am but dried up by 9am.

Riverside Ely
Pros:

Great location. Very very clean, comfortable room with entertaining riverside view. Not noisy. Windows opened, not a given in lots of places. Airconditioning really helped as the weather was very warm. Felt safe, which is a real thing for women travelling on their own.

Cons:

Door locks announcing they were unlocked. Likely specific to the room as the very nice luxury private bathroom was across the hall so locks announcing their status felt like they could be intrusive for other residents in the night. Breakfast window very narrow 8-9.30am. Having to leave for work meant missing breakfast. Tbf I didn't ask for an alternative.
