Lovely apartment. Good location. Nice being able to arrive and leave without faffing with keys, check-in/out etc.
Quite noisy. Noise from other guests in adjoining apartments, noise from extractor, water pump, waste macerator...

Well appointed apartment in central location.
Bed in alcove was not good for us as my wife is disabled. Also a lot of stairs.

Layout was fabulous. Very comfortable and decor considerate & practical. Nice vib. Loved chilling out after work. Love how easy check in and out was following your clear procedure.
No napkins, paper towel. Also no extra garage bags and bin us small. Called for early check in access. No one available so checked in at agreed time and kept my bags with me, I honestly don’t like the code system as a solo traveler. Felt a bit exposed, especially at night on Ely’s quiet street

Perfect location for our overnight stay and had everything we needed.
Due to the wooden floors and partition walls the noise carries and our neighbours were not particularly quiet.

Electronic key entry made arrival easy and no need to worry about keys. The apartment end entry to the building was very clean and tastefully renovated, however, the room would benefit from some coat hooks a shoe rack by the door, and a spare blanket. The bed was large and comfortable. The location was excellent and easy walking to the river, cathedral, restaurants, cafes, pubs etc.. lots of nice options for eating out. Also right beside the town market which had a great variety over the days we stayed. Easy distance to lots of sites in the surrounding area and Cambridge.
No soundproofing, so when the guests were in the neighbouring apartment we could hear everything they said, even them walking. Sounded like they were in the same room with us. The kitchen was very basic (only a microwave and toaster) so we were unable to prepare meals in it.
9.0
Fantastic apartment in a very central location, a couple of minutes walk to the cathedral.
A damp smell in the hallway and both apartments. Wouldn’t put me off staying again, but was quite a strong smell.
9.0
The apartment was spacious and had everything you could ever need for an away stay. The bed was comfortable and it suited us really well. Elaine was amazing and fast at responding to a small issue we had and we were so grateful. We were very grateful for the bottled water after attending a wedding and getting back late.
The parking is in a nearby public car park which we found completely full on arrival and after driving around for 10 minutes, needed to park a 15 minute walk away instead (down by the river in Fisherman’s Carpark if you don’t mind the walk).
9.0
It’s right in the middle of Ely, so perfect location. It was all open plan, but spacious enough for our family of 4. The bed was super comfy. We really liked this property.
After an initial confusion we had a fab stay. If arriving when it’s dark just be aware that the key code to get in is actually on the door handle. It took us a few mins to find it, but it’s a clever way of hiding it from others.
8.0
The apartment was really stylish and a good size. Everything was spotlessly clean and it was well appointed. The location was really convenient for Ely city centre.
My wife and I did not find the mattress was very comfortable. The people in the neighbouring apartment were not noisy, but just people walking around could be quite clearly heard.
8.0
The apartment had been beautifully designed and was comfortable and stylish. Well equipped and the hosts were very responsive and helpful
The level of noise from the adjacent apartment . It would be good if there were some codes f conduct shared so that other guests could be considerate and held to account for disturbances

Nice and central
A very noisy extractor in another apartment was on all the time and the lack of a small dining table - the desk could easily be replaced by a table

Location. Quiet. Clean.
A slight whiff from the bathroom. A drainage issue perhaps? I've encountered this before in other hotels that utilise pump systems on their bathrooms. Not really a problem but it was noticeable.

Perfect location!

Stylish studio flat in a very convenient position. Ideal for a short stay. Access arrangements very easy.
High level of noise on Friday morning from what I assume were the cleaning/maintenance staff in the adjacent flat. Nearby car park is convenient but being a free city centre car park finding a space can sometimes be difficult.
6.0
The bathroom, kitchen and living space were very nice. The basket of treats, water and milk were a nice touch. The studio was clean and the amenities were good. The location was excellent.
1. The radiator opposite the kitchen wasn’t working. The room was very cold and we had to sleep in our tracksuits.
2. The heated towel rail in the bathroom wasn’t working.
3. The fitted sheet on the bed was too small for the mattress and constantly rumpled up. The duvet was too short and only came up to mid chest. The pillows were lumpy and most uncomfortable. One person had to climb over the other to get out of the bed during the night to go to the bathroom. The room was noisy. Consequently we didn’t sleep well.
4. On the wall to the left of the TV, near the window, there was a leak. It seems that the rain water was coming from the roof and running down the wall.
6.0
Location, cleanliness and comms from owner.
Bed in an alcove so you are blocked in on three sides and have to climb over each other.
Shower strength average and not quite hot enough. Towel warmer has a little switch under the left base leg.
No bathroom bin for hygiene products.
No tea towel for drying up crockery.
Car parking free but difficult to find space but this isn't the fault of the owner and is a consequence of a great location.
9.0
Ely is a beautiful city/town. The apartment is right in the heart of Ely - making it easy to explore the city on foot. The Cathedral, river etc are within a 5-10 minute walk. There were many cafes/restaurants within a few minutes walk (we enjoyed Peacocks tearoom and Wildwood Italian). We were lucky with the weather and had some lovely walks along the river - just beautiful.
The apartment was comfortable - decent size, nice bathroom, functional kitchenette)
The bed was in a little enclosure - whilst it looked nice, you could only access from one side. So, my wife had to climb over me to get into or out of the bed - as an older couple, this was not ideal. There is no parking for the apartment. You can park (for free) at nearby parking lots, but it does required moving your car (usually daily) and the parking rules are a bit confusing. There is a long single flight of stairs - perhaps an issue is you have mobility issues or find it hard to lift a suitcase up about 20 stairs. Access to building and room is via a 6 digit access code - this simplifies getting access, but keying the code (on a small keypad - twice) ever time to enter, was a little annoying.

Private, good view, clean, spacious enough for 2 people.
The key pad took a couple tries to get used to, but once we figured it out it was good

Location is good for city centre and apartment is clean and has a lovely bathroom.
Would have liked to have a small table and chairs to eat at
7.0
The deluxe apartment was lovely and very spacious for two people. Six of us gathered there for drinks before going out for dinner. The two smaller apartments were ok for two people. This was reflected in the pricing. Very convenient location for the local amenities.
It could be made clearer that the kitchen has no cooking facilities other than a microwave. I took eggs for breakfast but we couldn’t cook them.
The bed in a niche meant that one person was sleeping up against the wall making it hard to get out without disturbing the other partner.
Soundproofing between the two smaller apartments was poor. We could hear the tv next door, the toilet flushing and people walking about, so I was glad we were friends using all the apartments.
Very little storage space for clothes in the small apartments.

Location, cleanliness and provision of basic stuff - milk, tea, coffee, etc.
Location of bed (no access to one side of it), low water pressure in shower.

Would have loved a hob/oven. Just a micowave is not my idea of a kitchen.

City Studios are located in the heart of Ely. There is ample free parking in the public car park at the rear of the property. Within a few minutes walk of the Cathedral, shops, market and supermarkets. Restaurants, local pubs and coffee shops are on the doorstep. Communications with the host was simple and efficient. Access code through front door and into apartment all worked without any problems. The apartment was spotlessly clean and tidy. All the facilities worked with good shower room including toiletries and towels. Decor was pleasant and simple. King size bed was really comfortable although set in a recess in the room. Everything you need for a brief stay is available in the kitchen which provided kettle, toaster and microwave as well as sink for washing up. Rudimentary but adequate utensils are provided for simple cooking. Nice welcome pack and small bottle of milk was provided in the fridge to get you settled in. Some tea, coffee and sugar is provided and enough mugs and plates to make a short, self sufficient stay quite comfortable. A separate seating area was spacious with a built in wardrobe to hang clothes. Nice little find really.
The only thing we didnt like was the noise transfer between the hallway and adjacent rooms. Conversations could be heard clearly in the room next door. We may have been unfortunate with our neighbouring guests being loud but take your earplugs just in case.

Apartment not as portrait in listing. Is that a bedroom ? Neither sink would hold water. Toilet noise excessive. Free parking not on the booking you have to park on a municipal car park.

Settee & bed not very comfortable

central position and price
The bed ‘niche’ consisted of a double bed with one side up against a wall - very difficult to get in and out of.
Should be equipped with a full size ironing board and iron, not small board and a travel iron.
Sofa was extremely uncomfortable!

Appartment was really good and fully furnished specially with kids. Milk and some other stuff was there. parking was nearby and free after 6pm till morning but you can have parking till 4 hours from 8am to noon for free as 4 hours free parking rule applies.
We had a small issue as some other guy checked in but staff really helped to sort it quickly. Highly recommended.

The location was good and the studio made very good use of the space. Good for a short stay.
No coat rack in the hall. The toilet flush wasn't great. The TV had a wireless connection but no internet access so its smart capabilities were unavailable.

Location was great, super clean and really well equipped. Even milk in the fridge and decaf teabags provided.
There was a strong smell of drains when having a shower.
