Riverside Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was extremely good and the view over the river amazing. It’s the first time we’ve stayed in a guesthouse where you have a code for the main door, pick up your key and good to go. Didn’t see anyone else. Breakfast was the first time we saw any of the staff, extremely helpful and polite, breakfast was delicious but even though very well cooked the choice was only scrambled egg, sausages, crispy bacon and cooked tomato. Fine for a short stay, but I didn’t want cereal or fresh fruit and snakes, I do enjoy a cooked breakfast, needs a little choice rotation I think? Excellent stop over for a short break, Ely is a beautiful town. Would use again"

During this time, you can explore the magnificent cathedral, intriguing museums, and charming temples. Additionally, engaging with the friendly locals, joining guided tours, and enjoying birdwatching opportunities amidst the scenic surroundings will provide you with great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Ely travellers may discover the best hotel deals by exploring DealsOpens in a new window on Hotels.com.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and season, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in an Ely hotel. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised touch and potentially better value.

For more affordable options, you might consider hotels situated in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You could also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
