Top Ely Museum Hotel Reviews

Novotel Cambridge North

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect. Well equiped room. Very fresh and clean. Complementary items were nice. Our first time in a Novatel and we will certainly consider the Hotel chain for future visits."

Lamb Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"What an excellent weekend away we had at The Lamb Hotel in the centre of Ely right opposite the Cathedral. I booked three dinner bed & breakfast rooms for our friend’s 60th birthday surprise. Our rooms a-joined the car park and were comfortable clean and spacious. The included dinner was great, catered for our gluten free friend and there was plenty of choice. Breakfast was very very slow, taking well over an hour to get our cooked breakfast - which for us was ok but they do need to iron out this issue. Parking is limited on site, but we were able to park up ok which was a great advantage. All in all was a great value weekend break and will definitely return."

Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel and staff Perfect location for the races We were in the Dullingham suite which was fabulous - we would want the same room when we next stay"

The Jockey Club Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"A must for any racing fan or anyone who wants a good night’s sleep as you cannot hear any noise from the High street. Beautiful settings and exceptionally well maintained. Breakfast very good. Helpful and friendly staff. 5 stars what else can I say."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good. Room is a little dated. Note additional parking fee of £10.20 which is totally unnecessary given the out of town location"
