My husband and I were staying in Ely for the weekend and decided to have a treat and stay at Poets House.
Pleasant staff on arrival who advised about car parking (secure off site, about 5 minutes walk away).
Hotel was very nice, large bedroom with huge bath in, great view overlooking Ely Cathedral. Usual facilities, although trying to find somewhere to plug kettle in was difficult, ended up putting it on under bedside table!
Nice en-suite with rain shower.
We went down to breakfast quite early on the Sunday morning and ordered our food. There was cereals, juices, fresh fruit, yoghurts, pastries to have while waiting for your cooked breakfast. We had quite a wait and eventually asked where our breakfast was; we were told it was coming. Two other groups had come for breakfast in the meantime and had both had their cooked breakfast. When it came it was very disappointing. My scrambled eggs looked like they had been sitting somewhere, congealed and grey looking and they had forgotten the baked beans I had ordered. My husbands full English was very poor also, one bit of bacon and a very cheap and chewy sausage. I would have expected far better from this hotel.
Check out was poor, no customer service. We were not asked if we had had a nice stay etc.
A lovely hotel but very much let down by cooked breakfast and customer service. Had a lot better hotel stays for half the price.
