"The hotel is situated in a charming central location in Ely. My suite was furnished to a high standard, the outstanding feature, of course, being the free-standing copper bath in the bedroom! Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was delicious. My only slight niggle is that I expected better than the standard tube of instant coffee in the room, other provisons, such as the toiletries, being of a high quality, l and was glad I took my own sachets of ground coffee!"

Best Western Heath Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the perfect location with a fantastic little town in walking distance. The staff is extremely helpful. I highly recommend this hotel."

Willingham House

8/10 Good

"By message got some check in details, which meant I did not see any person at the property. I was in room 34 on ground floor, which was clean and tidy. Good ensuite with large shower. TV in room was a Fire Stick TV, so no normal TV channels available. Wifi was okay, not strong. Room had a kettle, microwave and small fridge. There was a shared kitchen at the venue (I did not use this). Bed in room was comfortable."

Holiday Inn Cambridge by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall, it's a decent hotel. There is nothing special about it, but it's good. The lobby is very nice, with restaurant and drinks available. The food and drinks were good. The staff was very nice and welcoming. My only real complaint is that water got hot, but it did not get really hot, and the water pressure was terrible. With all that said, I would stay there again"

Turing Locke Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Convenient location 15 minutes outside of Cambridge, new hotel in a new neighbourhood. Great staff, very good facilities. One recommendation is to request the couch/sofa that converts to a bed, the other option is uncomfortable."

Poets House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The staff were all so friendly, approachable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt welcomed straight away. Our room (room 12) was beautifully decorated, very spacious and spotlessly clean. The air conditioning in the room was really good. We had Sunday lunch which was lovely. The roast potatoes could’ve been crispier but everything was tasty and well presented. Breakfast was very good too. Lovely hot food from the kitchen and a nice little continental selection. The car park is a few minutes walk away but they were fine with us parking in the courtyard to unload our suitcase. We look forward to staying there again soon!"
