Great location for exploring Ely. Near the Cathedral and local shops and eating places. Would definitely stay here again.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The Royal Standard has modern newly refurbished rooms over the pub. These are surprisingly quiet and comfortable. We had a friendly welcome and slept very well. Good bathroom and comfortable bed and a really tasty breakfast to follow. We would definitely stay here again, particularly given the very convenient car park at the back.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Nice room with all modern facilities. Faced out the high street but there is virtually no traffic after 9pm or so, so not a problem. Excellent a/c in the room which was much appreciated because of the hot weather during our stay. Separate entry to the rooms so did not have to go thru bar. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment, only remark is that it only opens from 8am for breakfast which won’t suit anyone looking to get away early Recommended

The breakfast is cooked to order and excellent. Room lovely - in need of tarting up in places but very clean which is the main thing. Most of the staff were great. Just one female staff member was a bit rude to my partner about letting him through to the accommodation when the key was with me. Only one key per room so hardy our fault. All the other staff were excellent - helpful polite and friendly. Very central location for town, cathedral and short walk to the river. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

We only had a one night stay while we took in a show in Ely. The staff were really happy and helpful. A small boutique establishment but steeped in history. Although there was maintenance work going on it didn't detract from a lovely experience, the whole building was still immaculately clean. Room was beautiful, I believe that all the rooms are individually styled and ours certainly had a little wow factor. It's also a great location to explore the beautiful city and all it has to offer. The food and beverages were top draw too. All in all a fabulous little pub/restaurant/hotel. The building is hundreds of years old but the facilities are 2026. The Royal Standard is a little gem and we'll happily stay there in the future.
