Overnight stop for meeting the following day. Stayed here before in the same room, nice and cosy accommodation. Super location near the river Great Ouse, will definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had an overnight stay after attending a concert at Ely Cathedral. All I can say is it was a perfect stay in a small but high spec en-suite room with an extremely comfortable double bed, 2 comfortable armchairs and an excellent shower. Everything was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was good, served in a lovely breakfast room. Can’t imagine that anything could be improved!
Riverside Inm was perfectly presented once more. 2nd visit. Double with en suite this time. Cosy environment, comfy and quiet room, fluffiest hotel towels I’ve ever encountered.
Thanks team.

Beautiful setting, clean and tidy property, well decorated with cosy furnishings. Included a good breakfast. Was near the railway station and a superstore.
A lovely place to stay for our anniversary. Lovely big room, very clean and excellent condition. Massive bathroom. All with great view of the river and places to eat on the door step.
A wonderful comfortable small guest house right by the river. Very well equipped. Good breakfast. A great base to explore Ely.

Great stay
Really enjoyed our stay at Riverside Inn. Had a lovely downstairs room beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Super view over the river and boats. Breakfast was great too and no problems when asking for gluten free bread. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Lovely room, breakfast and view from room. Couldn’t ask for more
