Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Comfortable room, bed, pillows, heating. Excellent breakfast for such a comparatively small number of rooms. Not made sufficiently clear that there is no en suite on the single room, but in fact the single use bathroom opposite is probably larger than you would get as an ensuite. The lack of reception staff is disconcerting, but the key codes work.

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!

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.
