The Royal Standard

Me, my wife and her Aunt stayed a couple of week days at this lovely centre Pub in Ely. The room we had on the top floor was lovely with a super king-size bed which was very comfy. The Staff were excellent very friendly, attentive and very polite nothing was too much trouble. The owner Mike was again, very friendly and approachable. We had an evening meal and breakfast each morning with a very extensive choice instead of just a full English. The food was exceptional both at breakfast and evening meal. The pub itself had a real nice decor with a mix of old and new styles with again a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Behind the Pub is a huge public car park which is free to park but parking times do have to be observed as there is short stay and long stay parking but the pub staff will explain the full workings of it. The three of us had a lovely two night stay and both rooms were very comfortable. The present owner hasn't had the venue long and is still getting it up to the standard he requires. All in all a very enjoyable stay and if we go to Ely again the Royal Standard is where we will stay... Thankyou Mike to you and your Staff. John and Jo....

Everything about this accommodation was perfect. So from the moment we checked in, the staff were so friendly and professional in welcoming you. The accommodation was spotless and comfortable, especially the bed and pillows. Lovely facilities in the room - huge bathroom and great bed, lighting and teas and coffee making facilities. Great usb charging points too. Wifi was brilliant speed. The bar downstairs was great and the bar manager was exceptionally kind and clearly loves his job. Breakfast choice was great too. The location was perfect. Will definitely come ack again!!!

The room was lovely and comfortable, Just what we were after, the location was excellent. Easy to walk to bars and restaurants. The street was busy and loud, we didn't realise we had visited Ely on the weekend if the beer festival. We didn't mind so much though as we just wanted some space away from home together. Had a lovely relaxing bath, lovely and warm in the room (although it may get stifling in the summer!) The staff were very nice and the breakfast was very good. We decided to see the cathedral just a few minutes up the hill, then down the hill for the small harbor and to the lovely Peacocks tearoom. ( the menu for tea's is extensive, if you like tea and cake, go there!) On top of all of that we managed to get free parking. Free for a certain amount of time (behind the pub/hotel) then free on Sunday and we arrived Saturday evening, so worked out well. Although the signs are a little confusing, so if you arrived on a different day I'm not sure how to work out if and how you would pay.

Holly's welcome was naturally friendly and so, er, welcoming! Throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble. Slightly quirky room (Room 5 in the eves) and the slightly quirky route to get to it! Bedding and furnishings excellent quality, bathroom equally good.

The staff were exceptional and helpful and jolly and just lovely. The vibe was high - the food was tasty - it was busy - it was ideal location for our wedding - the breakfast was fab and coffee delicious.
