Lamb Hotel
Excellent central location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant serves delicious food. If it's within your budget, I recommend the steaks.
We stayed in Room 2, in need of renovation: carpet is worn, the toilet needs two pumps to flush. But the most critical thing in this modern age is that there are minimum sockets for charging phones and tablets!

Our room was great, and the restaurant at the hotel was excellent. Ely Cathedral was mere steps away. Our biggest challenge was the small, tight parking lot at the hotel.

Third time unlucky
I've stayed here a few times and has been OK until now - but this time the window didn't fully close and the shower didn't work.

Absolutely loved our overnight stay here. So central. The most dog friendly place we've ever stayed. Staff were great, huge room, lovely bar and restaurant areas. Food and drink was excellent and really good value.

Pleasant stay in a well run pub hotel
The Lamb was clean and comfortable for a one night stay while in Ely for a family wedding. I booked this for family who came over from the USA. They liked their stay and the rooms. They'd have preferred AC to the standing fan but I think that's because they're from US. Most pub hotels won't have AC.
Staff were really friendly and helpful. It was a complicated booking and they were very flexible to make it work. Smooth check in and helped with taxis. A really pleasant stay I hear.

NOT disabled friendly
We stayed for 2 nights as we were working (performing) at the Cathedral. We chose this hotel due to proximity of the venue.
A ground floor room was requested at time of booking due to my fiancée's mobility issues but we received no response from the hotel. On arrival we reiterated the need for a ground floor room (they could see that my fiancée was using a wheeled mobility aid) but were told that the hotel was fully booked and so our allocated room was up the stairs on the first floor. We said this would not be suitable and the young chap just shrugged his shoulders. We asked if our room could be swapped for a ground floor courtyard room and we were refused.
My fiancée therefore had to struggle up and down the stairs causing upset and distress. Had the hotel bothered to respond to our initial email request for a downstairs room all of this could have been avoided.
It was a real shame as the food and drink in the restaurant were superb and the other staff were very attentive and polite.

Great place to stay in a great location. The room was warm and the windows open only a little. With the provided fan, the room was tolerable.

Breakfast was best part of the stay
Breakfast was the best thing about our stay. The rooms are basic but clean and fairly comfortable. No air conditioning and they have locks on the window allowing you to open it about 5 inches. Parking is very tight and limited (about 10 parking spaces). Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. I would stay there again but not in the summer.
Amazing breakfast, part continental with fresh pastries and fruit. Cooked to order hot food was great. The bar has good beer selection and mixed drinks. Dinner was very good.
