Lovely location.
Pros:

Fab location, right by the riverside. Easy walk to town centre and to the station. Lovely riverside walk too.

Cons:

The breakfast was meagre. They ran out of fruit and milk on one morning. I wouldn’t bother with breakfast there again.
Staff uncommunicative but other residents were nice.

Lovely, friendly hotel in a beautiful location!
Pros:

The location is right next to the river and is absolutely beautiful.

Cons:

The parking next to the hotel is only for 23 hours in a 24-hour period, so I had to move the car twice to avoid a parking fine.

Lovely location and enjoyable visit
Pros:

Quite small, manageable for one, but it was a double room, so if two, not much room and nowhere to store luggage

Cons:

Bathroom was very small and being on the ground floor one was conscious of folk walking past the room window

Room was lovely and bed very comfortable. A great location with a fabulous restaurant next door.

The breakfast was varied and fresh however we arrived well before it was due to finish and they’d run out of some items, croissants in particular.

Stunning room and ideal location for a romantic stay in Ely
Pros:

The location of the property allowed us to fully explore the beautiful city of Ely whilst also taking full advantage of the riverside walks on our doorstep. The room was absolutely stunning. Boutique hotel quality with lovely little touches like the chocolate, biscuits and bottles of water. Loved the contactless check in too.

Cons:

We were lucky to find a car parking space nearby but it might be an idea to have an allocated parking space for each room it looked like there would be space around the side.

Good location and very clean.
Pros:

Very good location on the river but also a short stroll to the cathedral & town centre. Room was very clean and nicely decorated with a nice en-suite. It was on the smaller side. Some rooms look over the river probably cost more but ours just look at the brick wall opposite. But we arrived late and checked out at 10 so wouldn’t have had time to look at views. There isn’t a reception and you get a text to tell you door codes etc. this all worked well. Breakfast was a good choice iof hot and cold. Parking was on street but we managed to find a spot. But I understand there is a free car park nearby.

Cons:

It was a bit on the smaller side & no view but for one night this didn’t matter.
