I really don't know where to start. I do not normally leave poor reviews preferring not to leave one at all. The owner is on holiday and the hotel is, understandably, short staffed. No restaurant available in the evening and no residents bar. No staff on reception just keys laid out. Room 4 (a superior room) was small and dated with overbearing wall decor. A main light plus two overbed spotlights made relaxing difficult. Bedside lights would have been better. We were there during a heatwave. No room fans in the room and, as commented previously, no receptionist just a mobile number incase of emergencies. The worst thing was the room ceiling. There were two "rack" panels screwed to the ceiling (possibly due to a serious ceiling sag or previous water leak) and signs of damp and the start of a mould issue over the toilet/bathroom door. I have pictures available. If anyone had been available we would have asked for a different room or refused to stay. The room did not match the illustrations on your site at all. The only plus point was the breakfast which was very good. Point of information, when asked who was in charge in the owners absence, we were told there were only 2 staff on site. For £244 for two nights it is most definitely NOT value for money.

This property was probably a very nice house in its day with a great location close to Ely centre and backing onto the golf course. It’s now very tired old lady that’s seen better days. It was clean and the breakfast was very good. There was no one to receive us and the room key was left on the reception desk with a note. We had room 8 which is on the top floor which must have been back in the day the servant’s rooms.To reach it a door from the first floor led to a narrow flight of stairs which was not wide enough to carry a bag at one’s side. There was no-one available to help with baggage and my wife and I are in our mid 80s. The room temperature was in the high 80 degrees with the only cooling was a noisy fan and windows to open. The outside temperature was 84degrees. From our elevated position we were able to see the rubbish gathered in the gutters and weeds growing through the roof tiles. Also the rotting garden furniture and winter rotted sun lounger mattresses. If you are an intrepid traveller then this quaint guesthouse is for you, but do try and stay out of the attic room. If you are thinking why didn’t we raise these issues with the manager, the room cleaner/chef who we saw as we were leaving informed us the manager was away and he was in charge. He and the waiter in the breakfast room were the only staff we ever saw.

Nyton Hotel was welcoming, staff helpful, very clean, comfy beds, Oldy Worldy, excellent breakfast and I would definitely stay again. Easy walk to town when coming out of Nyton and turn right.

We booked the Nyton because we wanted to be near the centre of Ely but not near the main streets. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the centre and in a quiet road. There is a large garden bordered by trees and very pleasant to sit out in. Our room was well equipped, beds were comfortable, and the refreshment tray was well supplied. The room was cleaned daily and the beverages etc replenished. The owner was very helpful and the staff likewise. breakfast was in the very pleasant dining room and the cooked offering was both appetising and served hot. The whole breakfast selection was very good. We ate in the restaurant the fist evening and were very pleased with the menu and food. We were glad we booked the hotel.

Would love to be able to give a higher rating because there is lots of amenities in room the staff were friendly room serviced daily free WiFi lovely big garden birds and trees and in a great position to explore Ely. It was quiet and dark. Unfortunately the place stinks of stale cigarettes which as a non smoker with heart and lung conditions is very off-putting and means I wouldn't stay here again. The room was very dusty with questionable stains on the carpet and linen and yellowing paintwork. There was black mould in the shower. My bathroom was tiny but adequate. The bed base looked like it was made of wooden pallets. It is rather dated and in need of a deep clean and a refurbishment. It could be excellent with a little tlc.

the rooms are comfortable and quiet, the beds and mattresses are completely desighed for good sleep and rest.

Great value for a good night sleep, a really nice breakfast and bery generous room, all a 9 minute walk from the Cathedral.

Nobody on reception Hotel had basically emergency lighting on so had to use torch ( inside & outside) to navigate and call someone to get room ie get key behind desk - no breakfast even though was included in room rate and again nobody available on checkout 2* hotel at best

Great place to stay, only a short walk to the City Centre. Nice spacious room and amenities with a good breakfast.

Room was great, very friendly owners, super breakfast.

Breakfast was good with frie dly service. Early room access was available. Cold room. But had plug in heater to warm up. access was available.

Arrival was traumatic. Property was poorly signposted and unlit so I drove past. The forecourt was so dark I had to use the light on my phone to get from my car to the door. The man who checked me in gave hurried and unclear instructions and did not take time to answer my questions or show me how things worked. The room was clean but shabby, with some wallpaper beginning to peel. The toilet was cramped, the shower only ran at one heat setting and the hairdryer was broken. The bed and the breakfast were ok so I could sleep and eat but overall not a pleasant experience.

And a large mature garden with eclectic tables and chairs - reminiscent of the Raj era. Beds extremely comfortable.

I like this place. Makes a change to the big chains. Characterful rooms,good breakfast. Hotel is in very nice grounds

The stay was relaxed and comfortable with a flexible approach to checking in which was appreciated. Rooms are cosy, and the hotel was quiet and perfect for sleeping in.

Very old building, but being kept well, lovely peaceful garden , beds Very comfortable.

The hotel was lovely. The room was comfortable, with a lovely view over the garden. Breakfast was filling. Anna was most kind.

Great facilities in room, and great service. Lovely garden. Quirky building. Walkable into Ely Centre.

It was clean & breakfast was good. The property was fine, a little dated but it needs a refurb. Location was suoerb.Shower over bath went very hot & I was unable to adjust it.

Quaint and slightly dated, but very clean and quiet, good breakfast - in this day and age excellent value.
