Great National Hotels - accommodation in Ely

Good: -Great location near cathedral & ( limited space, unreservable) free parking. -Clean period property.Good beds. Tea & coffee. Good room cleaning staff. Room first impressions comfy. No lift but not an issue for us on 1st floor. *BUT...Beautiful hotel but would not stay again unless following points addressed: Bad: -Room change requests to avoid the following problems were refused during 4 day stay.- NO sleep-Very noisy (loud waterfall gushing sounds) antique heating on 5am -9:30 & 5pm -10:30am.-Tropical heat room ( even with radiators off & window open). -24 hour traffic & street noise( with windows shut - ineffective & missing panel secondary glazing)--Loose metal road grids 24 hour loud clanging under traffic was mental torture ( mentioned in reviews by others)- Pub outer doors on tight spring closure. Constant door banging heard in room when guests entering & leaving ( other guest mouse no problem though) -Dangerous! Difficult, heavy sash ( broken cords)window opening wedged by supplied wood blocks- Slippy! in bath shower & "unpredictable" hot water supply.

Great hotel, love the vibe . Perfect location in Cambridge . Rooms are clean , staff is great. Would def stay there again!

Great hotel to stay at whilst visiting Cambridge. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Transport links to station and city centre are great.
