The Royal Standard

Nice welcome - useful tips on parking. Extra mile to make sure my partner was OK as she has sight issues. Great location, a popular evening pub, a great location for the riverside, the Cathedral and the main attractions.

I was really looking forward to my stay but it was rather disappointing For the price I would have atleast expected the room to be clean On first arrival after reading there was free parking I had to ring them to find out where it was , it’s in a free car park at the back of the building which would have helped to know in advance The room on first appearance was small but appeared ok , but after looking closer the surfaces were all covered in dust , on top of the bedside tables , lamps , top of radiator, the box edges around the room , even the hanging tv cable was thick with it There was also a dirty smudge on a pillow case but luckily that was easily removed and was too tired to think more of it Then on and off throughout the night what sounded like a macerator kept going off . The room is also above the entrance to the pub and rather noisy along a busy central road so I was woken severally times through the night As they are single pane old windows and there are also speed bumps the vans and cars going over making a racket through the night The only plus about this trip was the food , it was nice enough and the ladies that served were lovely , but feel this was an overpriced room with how in clean it was I only stayed one of the 2 nights I booked and found other accommodation for my second night

We enjoyed our stay at The Royal Standard a welcoming and comfortable old hostelry in the centre of Ely. Food and service were very good, staff pleasant and efficient.

Well run, with good staff, in a central position with easy free parking. The bar had a good range of wines, beers and food, room was excellent, will use again.

Lovely hotel and pub. Close to city centre and lots of shops and restaurants Breakfast was delicious with quality ingredients. Staff were really helpful. Room was compact but had everything we needed Car park out the back was free too

We were impressed with the room, it’s comfy bed & stylish decor. The staff were on hand, friendly and helpful. Great location in the town centre.

We stayed as a family of 6. The hotel staff could not do enough for us. Food was excellent and rooms lovely and exceptionally clean. Restaurant is well worth a visit too. Unfortunately my dad was taken ill once arriving and the manager and staff at the hotel went above and beyond and were so professional and helpful. They called an ambulance and gave us guidance and got us the help we nèeded. They worked hard to get a room ready early for him after seeking medical attention. This is one of best hotels i have ever stayed in and recommend most highly.

Beautiful room, attentive staff, lovely bar for drinks in the evening and a fabulous breakfast in the morning couldn't fault our stay at all. We'll definitely be booking again!

Parking a pain, although free ,had to move car by 12:00 to lower car park, then back to upper at 14:00 ,then repeat, a hotel concession (ticket would be good). When going to the bar at 22:15 to order drinks, was told last orders at 22:00!? Blind in room was broken and some dust on some surfaces. Breakfast was good, but a pot of coffee would be better, food in restaurant was expensive. Bathroom was modern and recent and in good order.
