    Charming decor with unique touches throughout.

    The breakfast service was slow and the food quality lacked variety.

    children's poems
    quaint copper bath
    tasty breakfast
    chaotic check-in

    Had an awesome stay with friends! We loved exploring the children's poems and checking out the captivating live event voices in the cozy lounge. The copper bath in our room was a quirky touch, and the breakfast hit the spot. Just a heads up, parking is off-site, which might be a hassle in bad weather.

    Checking in was a bit chaotic with an inexperienced staff member. It felt a little disorganized at times.

    spacious room
    copper bathtub
    tasty breakfast
    chaotic check-in
    inexperienced staff

    The stay was quite enjoyable, especially with the spacious room that featured a unique copper bathtub. The dining experience was delightful, with a breakfast that had plenty of options to choose from. One highlight was the charming children's poems displayed in the lobby, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to many attractions in the area. I did find the check-in process a bit chaotic, as the staff seemed inexperienced at the time.

    Upon arrival, the room felt uncomfortably hot due to a broken sash window. Although air conditioning resolved the issue once discovered, a clearer instruction at check-in would have eliminated confusion. Parking is a trek from the hotel. while drop-off is quick, the public car park requires a 5-minute walk, which can be a consideration for those with mobility issues. The bathroom could use towel racks for convenience post-shower, and the bedroom layout felt cramped with limited socket availability, making it inconvenient for tea prep. Breakfast had good poached eggs but lacked variety, not meeting the expectations set for hotel dining at this price point.

    Luxurious room features, beautiful garden area, views of Ely Cathedral

    Limited on-site parking could cause inconvenience!!! A more dynamic dining menu with daily changes might attract more guests and enhance the dining experience even further!!!

    copper bath
    spacious room

    It was just a fine choice for a concise stay in Ely with outstanding value. The spacious room had a large copper bath, which was a nice surprise. Parking is not on-site, so keep that in mind when arriving.

    children's poems
    friendly staff
    well cooked breakfast
    off-site parking

    Our stay with friends was fantastic! We loved the children's poems in the lobby and the wooden card catalog that offered writing prompts. The location is perfect, close to many attractions. Breakfast was well cooked, and the staff were friendly. If you're planning a group trip, this place is a great choice!

    attentive service
    stunning view
    limited amenities

    The restaurant staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring our dining experience was enjoyable without being intrusive. We also appreciated the stunning garden view from our room, which added a peaceful ambiance to our stay.

    The lack of certain amenities in the room was a bit disappointing.

    spacious room
    attentive staff
    delicious dining
    noise disturbance
    event scheduling

    I recently stayed at Poets House for work, and I was thoroughly impressed. The room was spacious and well-decorated, providing a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation after a long day. The staff were attentive and efficient, ensuring my needs were met promptly. The dining experience was remarkable, with both dinner and breakfast being beautifully presented and delicious. The location was convenient for exploring Ely and nearby Cambridge.

    The only downside was occasional noise from nearby events.
