Nyton Hotel

Guest house host was helpful and generous. Room was clean and tea and coffee supplies generous. Breakfast was very good and evening meal tasty. Good value for money.

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.
