Much better than anticipated! Room was wonderful and the added bonus of aircon on a hot July day was a plus. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Delicious breakfast as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Really was of 'royal' standard! A hotel of really high quality. Well presented, comfortable room with AC. All the amenities, beautiful decor. The pub itself served delicious, fresh food both in the evening and for breakfast. Full English was amazing!! Breakfast is included and there was good variety. Properly home cooked. Finally, their customer service was excellent. We moved there from another (terrible) accommodation. The owner/pub landlord himself arranged an early check in for us. At reception, staff were all so nice - took our bags up for us, bug smiles at dinner and breakfast and organised quick nibbles for us before we left for wedding we'd come to Ely for. I would definitely recommend the Royal Standard. Would stay there again if back in Ely. 10/10.

Lovely building in the city centre full of character. Room was very comfortable and well appointed. Reeeeeally comfy bed ensured a great nights sleep. Very central to the city, and close to the cathedral. Staff were wonderful, so friendly and welcoming, and the best part about a wonderful stay :)

Good value

Good friendly hotel. Excellent breakfast

Reslly nice accommodation, perfect location and excellent quality breakfast

We received a warm welcome and were shown to our room. The room proved to be very comfortable with everything you need for a short stay. The mattress was super comfy as were the towels provided. The room did suffer from road noise from early in the morning, however, everything else made up for this. The stay included a free breakfast so our expectations were low. We were surprised to be given a full menu to chose from: full English, salmon etc.. plenty to chose from and delicious. Good value for money.

Friendly staff. Quite, considering it is a pub we never heard a peep from downstairs or other residents. Good location for town but parking can be tricky due to mid-week rule to stop commuters. Great breakfast!

Lovely room with an amazing breakfast

Very comfortable, great food!

good value for money, food excellent, hospitality was good highly recommended

Sweet place but our room really wasn’t clean. The dust on the lamp was thick. The staff was kind and it is definitely cute and quaint!

Quirky bedroom was a lovely surprise. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Highly recommend

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.

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

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.

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.

Lovely room and friendly, helpful staff.

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!

All was as good expected as have stayed before.

Lovely staff, lovely food and great location

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.

All great. Fantastic location with free parking and a warm welcome. Great breakfast and lovely room. Would recommend

Absolute a must-stay if you’re visiting Ely! Centrally located and walkable to everything. Car park directly behind. Rooms are great! Quiet, clean and comfortable. I love the windows - Great brekkie. Friendly staff. Good Wi-Fi. Highly recommend!

Lovely hot night in Ely

Very nice food in the pub. The breakfast was excellent. Room was roomy and cool (a/c). Bed was comfy with nice pillows!

Lovely place, very clean and staff very welcoming and friendly nothing is too much trouble, Food was amazing as well. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Great stay in a comfortable room. Friendly staff. Great service.

Visited Ely for the first time. Chose theRoyal Standard due to location in the “city” centre. Pre-visit I emailed a couple of questions re parking. Quick and clear response. Parking is right behind the pub in free to park public parking. The staff explained simple process to avoid parking fines. Able and welcomed to check in early. Room was very clean and comfortable with separate sofa/lounge area. Bed very comfortable and shower big and easily adjusted temperature. Didn’t eat at the pub in the evening but the breakfast was superb. Great produce freshly cooked to perfection. All staff helpful and friendly and the pub is in an excellent location for exploring Ely on foot. Cannot recommend The Royal Standard highly enough. Thanks to the whole team
