the royal standard is a charming old building, beautifully updated while keeping unique touches like the old bread oven by the bar. it's conveniently located just a short walk from the cathedral, river, and shops. the full english breakfast was outstanding, especially the homemade spicy black pudding. the staff were super friendly and immediately helped us with our bed arrangement.

The room was cozy and comfortable, with a lovely old charm that made our stay special. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to local bars and restaurants. We enjoyed a relaxing bath and found the staff incredibly friendly. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and we appreciated the free parking provided.

The road was quite busy, and the noise levels could be a bit much.

Couple getaway well done

We had a cozy room with a lovely rainfall shower that felt like pure luxury & the mattress was so comfy, I slept like a baby. the breakfast was exceptional, best full English I’ve ever had – it was quite the way to start the day.

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive but you know what, worth every penny I spent.

our stay at royal standard was delightful. the junior suite was comfortable, and the staff were exceptional and so helpful! the vibe was lively, and the food was tasty. it's ideally located near the cathedral, making it perfect for our wedding. breakfast was fab, and the coffee was delicious!

We had a fantastic time! The unique walk-in shower was a game-changer, and the breakfast choice was astonishing—steak and eggs, anyone? I’d return just for that breakfast!

Room was cozy, but noise from outside made it hard to sleep.

A Charming Stay with Exquisite Breakfast!

From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel at home. The room was beautifully decorated, perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring. Breakfast stole the show. every bite of the full English was unforgettable! Don't miss this place. you won't want to eat anywhere else.

I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes at dinner and the fantastic breakfast, both far exceeding expectations! The homemade quality of the food really stands out.

can't wait to come back

the deluxe double room with bath was spacious and cozy. had air conditioning, a shower, a hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries like shampoo and body soap. breakfast was incredible, with options like fresh pastries and a hearty full English. staff was super helpful, and free parking at the back made everything easy.

Outstanding breakfast and friendly staff

I had a great stay at this charming pub with its unique old-world charm and modern updates. The breakfast was particularly impressive, with a full English that included outstanding homemade black pudding. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all our needs were met throughout our stay.

we had a great time at the royal standard, the room was super comfy and stylish. Breakfast was really good, loads of choices. the staff were friendly and helpful too, which was a big plus. also the location was perfect for walking into the center of ely.

however, the room was a bit noisy from the street and we found some dust on surfaces. also, the parking info could've been clearer from the start.

Great clean room, friendly staff. noise from the road was a bit annoying.

Our room was spotless and comfy with a big bed. The beer garden was lovely for relaxing, and we enjoyed some downtime in the cozy TV lounge. 😊

Excellent hotel with free wi-fi, off-site car park, and helpful staff. On my first stay, they assisted with my heavy baggage. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting!
