Top Ely Cathedral Hotel Reviews

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Location was ideal for us and pricing within reason. We just spent one night before going on to Ely for a wedding."

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Very nice room with great bathroom. There was a few stains on the carpet which didn’t bother us so m but it’s a shame having it on light blue carpet. There is a small electric kettle to make tea or coffee which was very helpful after arrival. The only negative thing was the price of parking there £20, which is a extortionate rate for guests of the hotel."

ibis Cambridge Central Station

8/10 Good

"It was a comfortable stay. Welcomed the £5 voucher to spend in the Ibis cafe, for choosing not have our room serviced."

The Red Lion

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff, all staff members were very attentive and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. The selection of available drinks, especially real ales was extensive. Real ales in particular were very well kept and staff knowledge of them was extensive. All food was cooked individually and was very well presented and delivered personally. The accomodation was modern, clean and amenities were very well explained."

Holiday Inn Cambridge by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good nice place. Clean tidy"

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The website stated parking was provided, but when we arrived we were charged a substantial extra - not very welcoming. On Sunday morning we were woken by a very loud alarm. The staff's reaction was incompetent and seemed to reveal a complete ack of Fire awareness or training. No attempt was made to reassure visitors, ensure that everyone was accounted for or inform them that it was a false alarm. Restaurant staff were helpful and attentive."

Riverside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely weekend there. Found plenty to do in Ely. Loved the view over the river. Enjoyed the choices for breakfast. Free parking Our only problem was working the coffee machine in the bedroom but I think it was probably us doing it wrong"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, we used the Castle Hill car park, that was a 15 minute walk, but cheaper. Before going, I checked that I could leave our baggage in reception and the response was quick and helpful. The rooms were lovely and spacious for the three of us. All the extra’s, like body wash, shampoo etc smelt lovely. Nice to have decent toilet roll. Loved the kitchen with the dishwasher, fridge & coffee machine. Would definitely stay again."

Oliver Cromwell Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value for a few nights needed for work. The hotel needs updating. Good car park and fairly easy to locate. Needed to go and ask Reception for more milk supplies as no one came in to check the room. I ate in the restaurant twice and the food was good. Disappointed that it was closed on the Friday evening."
