What shines and what doesn’t

Location is ideal for cathedral visits with a unique building character and nice room views. Staff support with luggage was greatly appreciated.

Noise issues were intrusive, particularly from the restaurant below. The room felt dated and in need of maintenance.

proximity to tourist attractions, charm of the building, interesting decor features

Inconsistent cleanliness in rooms!!! No heating control available, making nights uncomfortable!!! Poorly maintained bathrooms, a disappointing experience !!!

The room was cozy, but the noisy traffic kept me awake all night.

The view of the cathedral was absolutely stunning! 😍 Although I had a bit of trouble checking in due to phone issues, the room was quite nice and spacious. The stairs were a little steep, though.

Consider bringing your own toilet roll as the shared bathroom may run out.

Unique building charm

The location is superb for exploring the historic city and is just a stone's throw from the magnificent Ely Cathedral.

The room I stayed in was overly hot at night, and the only available fan struggled to make a noticeable difference.

Great location right in the heart of town, and the large family room suited our needs perfectly.

the ely guest house is in a brilliant location right in the town center, very close to the cathedral, which I really liked. the staff was super helpful with my luggage, making me feel supported during my solo stay. the charm of the old building also added a unique character to my experience.

Loud Nights and Awkward Bathrooms

So, we stayed for 2 nights and it was a bit of a mess honestly. The bathroom was not well-maintained, and the noise from the music and shouting next door was unbearable. At one point, we thought it was a party! On the bright side, the location was great for getting to local places easily. Just watch out for those late-night disturbances.

The location is the standout feature, with easy access to shops and bars. The room was adequate but quite dark, as only one light worked, and it was stuffy at night without enough pillows. Although the en-suite was small, it served its purpose well. A fan was provided to help cope with the warmth, and the tea-making facilities were a bit tricky to use due to the kettle size.
