Nice room, tea and coffee offerings good. The security lock on the window in our room needed to be fixed. Room was good for an overnight stay.

The room was clean and quiet which was good. However the toilet seat was loose and bedside lights did not work. I left notification for the High Flyer so hopefully these will be sorted out as I do understand that these things can be missed if not advised. My concern was that we were told that if we wanted breakfast they would have to get someone in specially as they would not be getting in till 10am the next morning. Whilst they said they could do this it made us feel like it would be an imposition so we went elsewhere to eat in the morning.

We stayed just one night, the room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom for room 1 is not heated and we stayed on a very cold night, so not ideal.

Very Disappointing!

Very disappointed with room as there was a terrible smell of the drains coming from the bathroom. The breakfast is a joke as it starts very late at 8.30 am. We went in at 8.30 and were the only people in. The cooked breakfast eventually arrived at 9.30am! There were no other options i.e cereal or fruit. The hot beverages were charged as extras to the breakfast! We won't be going back!

The Staff were all so excellent and helpful, especially Geanina. Easy walking to the superb cathedral, museum and shops. The food was also excellent and I would recommend the High Flyer to anyone.

Nothing particularly unique. Good, mostly clean (sticky patch on bathroom floor). Good service, good food (pipping hot served on a cold plate!). Certainly good value.

We didn’t like the room we were in. Very small windows. Huge television but Too big to watch in the room. We liked the bed. It was very comfortable and there was a very big bathroom. The hotel was very convenient to walk to all the tourist places.

Can’t wait to stay here again!

First impressions were superb, largely driven by the warmest of welcomes by the staff. Pretty place, with a calm but characterful environment. The food was superb, nicely presented, and tasted fabulous. All at a fair price. The bedroom was lovely, comfortable bed, huge TV, and comfortable bathroom. Perfect location for exploring Ely and the delights that the city (and it’s beautiful cathedral) has to offer. Would definitely stay here again, absolutely loved our weekend staying here.

Loved the location and the GREAT shower, the bed mattress & lack of a flat sheet were annoying. The food in the dining room was good but the sticky tabletops were "ick."

Small Issues with room

Room was clean and decent size. Window catch was broken so couldn't close window. There was a draft all the time. This was reported but wasn't fixed whilst I was there. Food in restaurant was good. Hotel is in a good location for center of Ely.

Limited parking , first come first served basis . Food & drinks were good apart from the carvery on the Sunday as we ate late when the carvery was finishing up so not the same choices as normal. Image it's good at lunchtime . Breakfast wasn't till 10 o'clock which wasn't a problem for us and would have arranged for chef to come in earlier if we needed it . Room was comfortable with a nice large shower.
