Convenient and good value
Staff at checkin very helpful with my luggage, when I explained I had a back problem. Room adequate, breakfast options very good. Convenient location in the centre of Ely, near the cathedral and Cromwell House. Limited free parking for guests. Good value.

Very good even though carparking is limited
A very pleasant stay at the Lamb Inn, Ely. Staff are helpful and courteous, the food & beverages lovely too. Ground floor areas pleasantly decorated. Room was spacious but pillows need to be less chunky - rather too thick, tending to give one a crick in the neck.
Carpark for residents is small and finding is space can be just good fortune.

Nice central inn with friendly staff
Great centrally located inn. Comfortable bed (quite firm mattress - that’s what I like), clean room, kettle with a good amount of teas and coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. I didn’t eat, but seems to be a quite popular restaurant. Bathroom had a tub which was a nice surprise - water controls are a bit strange and take a while to figure out hot water, but then there was plenty. I would recommend it if you are visiting Ely.
Perfect place to stay in Ely with friendly and helpful staff.

Friendly old fashioned hotel in central Ely
Great situation near Ely cathedral. Friendly, warm & clean. Old building so repairs needed. Steep stairs and no lift, which didn’t bother us but not recommended for anyone with poor mobility. Comfortable bed, ensuite with bath, good breakfasts.

Comfortable stay & friendly/helpful service.
Very convenient location right in the centre of town, just a 2 minute walk to the cathedral. Our room was comfortable & the staff were all friendly & helpful.
Dinner was a typical pub menu and the prices were very reasonable especially with a Jan/mid-week offer. The cooked breakfast was also very good value.
Our room did overlook the traffic lights/junction, but with the windows shut & curtains closed we didn't notice any traffic noise, though it might be an issue if it was summer and the windows were open.

Best hotel stay ive had yet.
It was a birthday treat and i couldnt have been more happier. It was near everything necessary and i didnt find it too noisy. Everyone was welcoming and professional. It was clean. Bed was so comfortable. Best night sleep either of us has had in a long time. The bathroom was spacious and the claw footed bath really added to it. Was so enjoyable to bathe at the end of a long busy day.

Lamb Hotel
Excellent central location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant serves delicious food. If it's within your budget, I recommend the steaks.
We stayed in Room 2, in need of renovation: carpet is worn, the toilet needs two pumps to flush. But the most critical thing in this modern age is that there are minimum sockets for charging phones and tablets!

Our room was great, and the restaurant at the hotel was excellent. Ely Cathedral was mere steps away. Our biggest challenge was the small, tight parking lot at the hotel.

The breakfast was 1st class but the choice of real ale (even Greene King) in the bar was very poor. As Greene King is supposed to be one the country's best brewers, to only have one beer (Abbott) on was not good enough. As a result, We dined elsewhere.

We had a small double on the 2nd floor. Nb no lift. Room was newly decorated, newly carpeted and the bathroom suite had new tiling. Linen was of a good quality. Bar/restaurant was very busy but rooms were quiet and warm. At this price point and in the centre of Ely it was unbeatable. Nb the hotel car park was tiny but public parking in Ely is, free so we used a nearby car park.

The pub is nice but hotel areas are a little tired and could do with a refresh, though, I should say, my room was clean and large.
Breakfast was nice and staff excellent throughout.
