I booked and stayed in this hotel during early May. I arrived early afternoon and although parking was advertised it was full throughout my stay. However, staff were helpful in getting me parked. The room was comfortable, clean and good value for money. I ate in the bar and the food was good and staff friendly. A all round experience!

Efficient check-in and check out.Room large and clean but rather gloomy with poor lighting and view of overgrown bushes and rubbish.Good comfortable bed but rather dated old furniture. Very limited supply of soap& toiletries.Ate downstairs one evening but only an average meal.Mine was overcooked, dry and there was not much of it. Breakfast good with lots of choices but service...

The Lamb, once had the reputation of worst Hotel in England, since some make over it has improved a little but still needs considerable investment in the bedrooms where the cash seemed to run out last time. Staff are always friendly and I found the service to good, I am sure that with the new hotel opening in Ely the... More

When we got to the hotel we were greeted by a very nice girl, who went through all the finer details and helped us set up a tab, we got to our room and had a pleasant surprise as hotel room was big, and when I say big I mean it almost dwarfed our flat,the room was nicely kept and... More

Popped in after Ely Cathedral. Reminded me of a Wetherspoons. Menu pretty dull for veggies. Had a massive veggie burger which was fine, no frills. Carpet needed a good vaccum and all of the cutlery and my cup were not the cleanest. Partners jacket was the worst he'd ever had. Saw no staff over the age of about 25 (at... More

Thanks for the time taken to review the Lamb. We are open for food and drink from 7am until 11pm serving continuously through this time period. We do try to keep things clean and tidy but it appears that we hadn't done so at the time of your visit and we'd like to offer our apologies to you. More

Good hotel with well stocked bar and good selection of food in the evening although I ate elsewhere. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with adequate facilities although if you are on the top floor, the lift would be advisable (I dont know if there is one) as the stairs are a good climb. Breakfast was good, cooked freshly to order... More

Nice location in the centre of Ely above the Lamb pub. It was great value for money compared to any hotels in Cambridge and not far by train to visit. The single room was very comfortable and the bed was large (for a single). The breakfast was decent and included in the room price. The morning newspaper delivery to the... More

The location of this hotel could not be better, virtually next to the cathedral. The rooms are a little tired and not really as clean as they should be, especially the bathroom. Breakfast was disappointing, with Juices and pastries not replenished during the service and no coffee refill offered and the cooked food over done and rather tasteless.

Located in the heart of the City of Ely its position could not be better. Our room was spacious, quiet and had a very comfortable bed. Whilst generally clean, the mouldy shower curtain should have been replaced a while ago. Breakfast was a mediocre affair, nothing special here, juices were from concentrate and the advertised pastries were absent. Overall, nothing... More
