Top Ely Museum Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and perfect rooms"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"It was a spacious room with two single beds and an arm chair that became a single sofa bed. The room itself was lovely and modern with all essentials provided and the location was excellent for sight seeing and being a walking distance away from a variety of restaurants. There was also a gym that was decently equipped with some weight machines and cardio machines. The thing that stood out the most though was the staff. I accidentally left behind my e-book reader after it fell down the side of the sofa bed. Despite not being able to originally find it, once I provided them with a more specific location they happily checked again a second time and called me once they found it which was very much appreciated. They even took the time to package it up for a courier I arranged to collect it which was really nice of them. Overall I would really recommend staying here and will be staying here again if I ever find myself back in Cambridge. If I am ever"

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Reception staff where very helpfull"

ibis Cambridge Central Station

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived midday and they tagged our luggage and kept it in a secure area. The room itself was clean and while it wasn't roomy it did have enough room to move around (We did keep knocking against the tv that was mounted on the wall). The bed was either queen or full size but it was actually two different mattresses put together which we actually liked because it gave each sleeper their own space. The bathroom is circular and small but manageable. We stayed for one night."

Holiday Inn Cambridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good parking spaces, free if you're an IHG member which is really helpful."

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Loved our stay. Great secure parking, striking reception and bar area, wonderful size room, lovely pool area and a fantastic equipped gym. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Small improvements : 2 TVs and the remotes control both so they keep coming on, going off, volume not working spasmodically / can only mirror screen from an android phone. We used 2 cups for tea, left them on side when we went out and the cups were put in the dishwasher by the cleaner but we had to wash them up when we got back as had no other cups to replace them. The usb ports in the plugs didn’t work next to the bed. For a Hilton hotel the pillows were very poor quality. Honestly had a wonderful stay and all those things were small but maybe worth a mention as easily rectified x"

Lamb Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Clean tidy good value for money. Very good for a chain pub/hotel"

The Three Pickerels

10/10 Excellent

"Another stay at the 3 Pickerel and another brilliant time for us . Our room , number 3 , was lovely and so cosy . As usual, it was immaculate . The staff was very friendly and efficient considering how busy the place was ... And then, we had a very enjoyable dinner with a very nice apple tart ! Really our favourite place on our way to Norfolk."
