Very good hotel
The room was clean and everything worked. Hotel located near cathedral and shops. Staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast was very nice with quality ingredients and good choice. Small parking area which was full but there is a car park nearby which is free for 2 hours. Would stay again

A monumental cathedral
This was a short break mainly to reacquaint ourselves with the cathedral which is only yards away from the Lamb. However we had time to spend seeing more of Ely but also to visit Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge which are easily reached by rail from Ely.

Location is great for being in the middle of town. Room facilities are less than stellar. Had 1 power socket in the entire room, with no air con the place was like a sauna day and night, not helped by the windows only opening a crack.

Hot Lamb
The stay was comfortable, my only comment being that it would have been good to be able to open the window a fraction for a fresh draught of air as it was so swelteringly hot at night at the top of the building. Thank you for the fan which made it bearable.

hotels.com
Hotel itself was excellent. Problem was hotels.com which said that that hotel was wheelchair accessible, but was not clear that the rooms which we booked were not accessible. Despite booking several weeks in advance the hotel was only advised of special requirement (wheelchair access) on the day of our visit, by which time all wheelchair accessible rooms had been taken.

Ely - Lamb
My small single room accessible up three flights of stairs. Room overlooked back of building works. Some smells of cooking. Windows - one locked shut & one locked open. Not enough towels. Bedside charging point for phone not working. Damp on the walls behind the wardrobe. Stained ceiling.
Bed was comfortable - a large size single. Plentiful in-room tea & coffee supplies provided. Breakfast was quite good - a selection of items both cooked (a shame it was all served barely warm) & continental. Staff were very friendly & helpful. I ate in the restaurant for Sunday Lunch - below average to be honest.

We had a lovely stay, a tiny point was our window didnt open, although luckily we were supplied with a fan. A minor point though. The hotel was so central , we had a great break.

Clean room but with very basic amenities. Very good evening meal with excellent service. Friendly staff. Being on the 3rd floor with no lift, was a challenge with the luggage. Hotel within walkable access to the town. However limited parking at hotel.

Well located, great price, friendly staff
Some of the best service I’ve received lately - a friendly and caring staff who are super professional and great at what they do. The room was spacious, clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom is a bit retro but it does the job. An excellent price for central Ely - I don’t think you could do better!
