Pros:

The only problem we had the hall light stayed on all night kept us awake for long periods of the night.

Got that the wrong way around.

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.

A great place to stay close to the river.
Pros:

A great location adjacent to the river. The owner met us outside and immediately organised the parking. The refurbishment was to a very high standard and we could easily walk to town and the cathedral

Cons:

Well it was all good and convenient.

Lovely location.
Pros:

The Location and the room were wonderful.

Cons:

The sheets and towels had too much laundry fabric softer or detergents used. The sheets were extremely smelly with STRONG perfumes, this made it very hard to sleep and an allergy to the smell.
The breakfast staff (one lady) seemed to be doing everything and therefor very grumpy and not friendly, rushed, and came across rude. Im sure she was just stressed with doing it all by her self.
