Top Ely Museum Hotel Reviews

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."

The Three Pickerels

10/10 Excellent

"We had an overnight stay at this riverside property. From arrival to departure staff were personable and proficient, we appreciated being shown to our room. The room itself was fine and the balcony with a river view was a bonus. Breakfast was well presented and in our opinion good value. We would certainly stay here again should we find ourselves back in the area."

Novotel Cambridge North

8/10 Good

"Stayed as a family of 4 for 1 night. The rooms were really modern and clean and staff generally friendly. The kids enjoyed using the pool."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Stay had a couples massage which was really nice Parking was great but should make sure you check car in would have been nice if they did that when booking hotel. Shame a couple of things werent available on menu but otherwise all good Will come back agin if in the area"

University Arms, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

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"

Willingham House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely accomodation. Really quiet, easy to find and park and clear check instructions given the day before. The garden was well maintained - we had a lovely room opening out onto the back. There's a couple of pubs, shops and an Indian restaurant all within walking distance and it's 5 mins up the road from the Park and Ride into Cambridge. Fully recommend a stay here! A recommendation to the hotel would be to provide some instructions/guide in the room on any local amenities as well as how the shared kitchen works - we weren't sure what was available for all guests Vs food bought by guests we shouldn't touch so we didn't make the most of this facility."
