A lovely big room, comfortable and clean, hairdryer, tea and coffee, fan provided. Great view of cathedral. Up two fights of steps ( no lift) . Only problem was the temperature in the shower was erratic ( boiling hot to cold) - reported to reception.

Great location in the town and close to cathedral

Fantastic food, excellent accommodation and the staff always seem to go the extra mile. Have stayed here a lot in the last 3 years through work and hope to get back to visit again sometime. 

Stayed in room 11 for the first time and wow, definitely the best! Also had the Lamb shank which was superb. Can’t forget the Moretti which tasted absolutely lovely. 

Highly recommend.

Fantastic Hotel

We ate here this week, I had the gluten free risotto with sea bass and prawns, it was a very tasty meal which I thoroughly enjoyed. The other two members of the party also enjoyed their food.
The bar/ restaurant area was very pleasant and staff very friendly.

Recommend to eat here

We stayed in room 2, The room was clean , The beds were very comfortable, the pillows were really soft, the bedding was crisp and fresh. I  felt the room needed a tub chair as an extra seat when there are two people in room , there is only  I chair in room the other person has to sit on the bed. there was a broken socket we were unable to use, the flooring in the bathroom needs replacing it was looking tired, there should be a tray on dressing table to put cups, coffee , tea, milk and biscuits on.

Can do better

Firstly this review is100 % genuine.
I have recently stayed here for a few days.
Location and staff are great..but parking is very limited unfortunately.
I had problems with noise in my room as it faced the main road..I was charmingly told to but some ear plugs.
Breakfast was very good served by l9vely waitresses.
I had only 1 meal here unfortunately...the starter of prawn cocktail with avecado was not very nice...main meal was OK but nothing special tone honest.
I was told the hotel is due for revamp soon ...and wish you all good luck you all deserve it.

Well located hotel ....but

I arrived to find my second room for a colleague had not been processed via their online system, I managed to secure a B&B close by so was happy to let this slide.  However I made the assumption that I would be able to meet my colleague at the Lamb in the morning and get a coffee and some toast, how wrong was I?  The lady serving breakfasts was the rudest most ignorant individual i have met in some time, when I complained about this behavior at reception I was told "well she is Scottish"......... unbelievable, my colleagues and I will not be returning to his hotel ever!!

The rude Scottish lady serving breakfast

My mother and I have just spent two nights at The Lamb and we really enjoyed our stay. It's so central so we could pop in and out during the day  and only a 10 minute or so walk to the train station.

The staff are all so lovely and make you feel very welcome. We had breakfast both mornings and ate there for one evening and the food was really good. There is a great choice for vegetarians which is something my mother normally struggles with in pubs.

We stayed in room 17 which was light and airy with huge ceilings and had a very large bathroom with a lovely deep bath. The beds were extremely comfortable and all the bedding and towels immaculately clean. We hadn't expected house keeping to come in for just a two nights stay so that was really nice to find fresh towels and made beds on our return on Saturday evening. I would suggest closing the window in the evening though as room 17 is on a main road so closing time can be a bit noisy on the weekend but it didn't take away from a great nights sleep. 

People have mentioned in previous reviews about the hotel looking a bit 'tired', this could be considered true however given the age of the hotel it shouldn't be expected to walk into something modern and new and added to the overall charm. 

We loved our stay at The Lamb and would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Ely.

Great Pub/Hotel to Stay in Ely

I had an enjoyable stay of several days at the Lamb Hotel. It is ideally situated in the centre of Ely and just a couple of minutes from the magnificent cathedral. The food was good and reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Yes, some of the decor looked a bit tired but I was happy with my own accommodation. Car parking might have been an issue for some but as I came by train my only problem was the walk to and from the station.

Friendly hotel

The fabric of the hotel is very old and tired - some parts look as though they are falling to bits. However, the beds are comfortable, the breakfasts were really good, the staff were helpful and the location, right next to the cathedral, was perfect. 

Lamb Hotel: 3 days in Ely

I arrived at about 1pm for a two night stay, I drove and my partner was arriving by train.
I put my car into a disabled space and had a chat with the receptionist who stated that this would be ok unless any disabled person wanted the space.
My view on the car park policy is that residents should be given first refusal on spaces  but apparently because spaces are limited this is not viable.
I would be of the view that because the spaces are limited this would be appropriate.
A few minutes later I saw a car leave so I moved my car to that space and returned to the hotel to advise them that I had moved my car, I then purchase a pint of lager and sat in the sun enjoying my drink.
I was very happy at 2.50pm when I spoke to the manager on reception and found out I could have my room but sadly I was advised I had moved my car to a space which was the managers space.
I also noticed that while I sat with my drink a number of cars parked in the yellow hashed area which I assumed was a no parking zone and had I known was ok I would have used .
I also witnessed people drive away over the weekend that I believe were not using the facilities.
Anyway my room was nice and big but a tiny bathroom and some areas need a little attention for example paintwork and tiled areas.
Also our smoke alarm went off a few times for no apparent reason.
I found the mattress very hard. 
Early the next morning I heard a car leave so I ran down and moved mine.
 I did not sleep well worrying about my car being in the managers space.

Breakfast 
I was told I must book a slot so I did but when we went at that time we were told no tables but we could sit in bar area, we got a little neglected in this area.
No menus and a long time to get served. Also a lot of items ran out, the fruit compote and juice not refilled.
Room was cleaned and tidied well.
On departure I placed my key on the desk as the manager was chatting to someone and therefore the manager did not even say thanks or goodbye. Just took the key and did something on the computer. Such a shame that we had such a rude exit.
