We stayed just one night, the room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom for room 1 is not heated and we stayed on a very cold night, so not ideal.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was very dated and run down. The worst thing was the smell of drains and damp - particularly in rooms 1 and 2. The door handles all need replacing. The lock broke on room 1 which meant a move to room 5, where the internal handle came off when you tried to get out ( surely a danger if there was a fire?) The windows in all rooms were filthy and the drinking glasses provided not much better! All of these issues were pointed out to the manager who agreed this was totally unacceptable. In his defence it appears that he has asked the management company to authorise the repairs needed but they refuse. My recommendation is to find another place to stay.

Takeaway opposite for meals & Costa coffee close.
My first experience was the late carvery lunch which was not very good but I thought that the food had been to long on display, and it was overcooked and dry. However I had the full English breakfast the next morning and it also was overcooked, perhaps the chef was suffering from a hangover and left the poached eggs to long so that they were hard and the mushroom was very black instead of being brown also the has browns and as for the bacon this was nuked beyond dry, while the sourdough bread tasted like wet Mothers Pride white single slice cut in half and called two slices for the sake of the menu. I stopped eating at the hotel. The service in the restaurant was desultory at best and poor perhaps they had been on duty to long. The room was comfortable but serviced only occasionally. The location was reasonably close to the main tourist sights and restaurants/bars which I used for my stay in Ely.

Bathroom lacked towel rails/ hooks. Cobwebs over bed. Room was not serviced at all during my 3 night stay. Hanging rail for coat hangers much too high. A small fridge would have been wonderful!

We didn’t like the room we were in. Very small windows. Huge television but Too big to watch in the room. We liked the bed. It was very comfortable and there was a very big bathroom. The hotel was very convenient to walk to all the tourist places.

Nothing particularly unique. Good, mostly clean (sticky patch on bathroom floor). Good service, good food (pipping hot served on a cold plate!). Certainly good value.
