“A pleasant stay but pity about the bags”
+The evening meal and breakfast were very good and the beds comfortable
−My friend and I are both in our 80s and were booked in to a room on the second floor up two long flights of stairs. On our arrival a young man from the bar was able to help us with the daunting task of carrying our bags to the room. However on the following morning when we departed there was no-one available to assist us and we had to struggle with them ourselves

“Very conveniently located public house/restaurant in the centre of Ely”
+The Lamb is in the centre of Ely, very close to the cathedral, which is why we booked it. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We were on the second floor and there are no lifts. It was not a problem for us, but might be for some people, especially with luggage. The breakfast menu was quite extensive. The supper menu was not great for vegetarians.
−The bathroom was quite small, with a bath and integrated shower. The shower was not so easy to operate, though once mastered, there was a good volume of hot water. As at many hotels, a small shelf was placed above the wash hand basin, which means you can't really wash your face without your hands hitting the shelf. Silly design! If you decide to book supper, you can earn a 20% discount if you book directly. I had done this, but the discount was not honoured on the bill (though I should have checked more carefully, but I was in a rush.)

“A traditional inn which is excellently positioned for the cathedral and city centre”
+A really convenient location as our choir was singing at the cathedral. Room was comfortable; it was nice to have a full bath in the ensuite though hot water took a bit of time to reach us (near the end of a corridor). There was a very good roast Sunday lunch which we enjoyed with some friends, and staff were helpful on speed of service knowing we were tight for time before a rehearsal. There was a convenient bus stop by the rear entrance to get back to the railway station.
−A slightly restricted range of bar snacks when we didnt want another full meal. The layout is a little convoluted with doors and small changes of level between sections in the bedroom corridor, and no lift to the first floor ; it wasnt a problem for us but some might find this an issue.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again.”
+Excellent location for the cathedral, museum and Oliver Cromwell's house. Comfortable room ,if a bit dated, and very good breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again if I were to visit Ely in the future.
−Dated room. Bath needs a grab handle as using the over bath shower is a bit precarious for older residents.
