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.

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.

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

The property was beautifully quaint with low ceilings etc. Our room was very dusty but other than a dirty remote control, acceptable. The stairs were difficult if you have any mobility issues, however the staff carrier bags up which helped enormously. The air conditioning was amazing as it was 32•c! I slept like a log as the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was lovely and well stocked, just needed some extra cleaning touches. All together a strong 4 out of 5.
