Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The High Flyer offers modernized and clean rooms, with some guests particularly appreciating the super modern bathrooms featuring fluffy white towels and lovely toiletries. The bedrooms, while not huge, often include a super king-sized comfy bed with spotless bedding and a large TV with Netflix access; many found the provided tea, coffee, and biscuits a welcome touch. Conveniently located close to the high street and within easy reach of Ely's beautiful cathedral, some guests have, however, mentioned occasional issues with dust in the rooms.
